What is the best way to stay consistent in posting your art and have it be seen and liked by more people. I know, even a few likes is enough for me, but... recently I've been hearing that people have been losing faith in me. And, I'm aware it's my fault for neglecting them. I just have a habit of taking too much of my time with other things besides my art. Especially since I'm a young adult (23y) just learning how to be an adult, although I am getting better at it. I still do art, but I just get caught up with other things, such as playing video games. So, I decided to be more consistent with my posts.

So, what do you think would work for my situation but being more consistent while still taking my time? Sorry for bombarding you with this long paragraph.

I can only speak from my experience being on Tumblr and not other platforms since tumblr has been my main source for business, but I suggest you work on growing your community! Reach out! Create art that caters to the community and reputation you want to be a part of! Things will most certainly come down to hit-or-miss after a while. You’re going to get posts with very few likes, and that’s okay. Just keep making more art in response.

And that brings us into my second perspective, which is not to rely heavily on getting likes. Engagement on social media can feel good and very rewarding, but over time, leaning too heavily into it may cause disappointment, especially when comparing yourself to other content creators in your community. Very few creators become artists for the clicks and attention. We make art for ourselves. At the end of the day, you are your sole audience, and you are the only person you can rely on to enjoy your accomplishments.

When I began using social media, I didn’t come here to be a “content farm”. I came here to share artwork and fan works I love. And even as my outreach and opportunities for business grow, I’m still doing it for the joy of the game! For the love of entertainment, creation, creativity, and community. Anyone that says they are losing faith in you for not posting art 24/7 is not someone that needs to dictate how you conduct your business online. You have a life outside of social media. That’s completely normal.
