this is v nice thank u

Hi there! Bex here.

Here’s the thing about Tumblr - it’s not always an accurate gauge of how “good” your work is. The aesthetic on here is very specific, and it takes a certain kind of image to make it big. With that being said, here are some ways you can increase your visibility on Tumblr.

1. TAGS! Make sure you use tags. Your first five will show up in the tag search, so make them count. 

2. Make friends!Tumblr is not only a blogging platform, but also a social network. Who you know and who sees your work are very important to getting your work out there to everyone. Send messages to other photographers, and make friends. Sooner or later, you will grow your follower base and you will get more and more recognition.

3. Be consistent!If you want to showcase your photography, make sure you have a blog dedicated to just that - no other posts with poems, inspirational quotes of photos of the Avengers dressed like cats. Post regularly, and set up a queue if you have to.

4. Make note of the time!The time of day (and actual day) you post is also important. If I post something at 2pm on Monday it won’t be seen by as many people as a post at 7 or 8pm on Sunday. 

5. Be patient!It takes time to build up a successful blog, and none of us started with 10,000 followers. Relax, post good work and the notes will come.

With that being said, your work being “good” or not is a hard thing to measure. None of us are Ansel Adams, and even if we were, it’s hard to get everyone to agree on one assessment of someone’s work. My dad hates Ansel Adams, and thinks his work is boring, so go figure. Just keep doing you and making sure you learn along the way.
