Social media is important for arts on so many levels. Artist using this platform will find any easy fit with so many choices. Take time to set up profiles and connect with groups that will benefit you and your followers.
Social media tips to steer you in the right direction
I would suggest that as you start you journey on social media you keep your user name and profiles the same on all sights and groups.
Remember it is better to focus on getting one set up before moving on to the next media site. It is better to do this once and that copy and paste to other sites keeping everything consistent. If you update one profile or profile picture you must update them all.
Your bio is where people find out all about you. Wright something that describes you and your business as if you’re promoting yourself and your brand.
Posting on your pages must be constant, so as an artist you will want to post your work with a short description that links to where your followers can find out more. Once you have your audience they will look for your new work and where you’re showing your work.
Engaging with our followers is what social media is all about. So getting an alert if someone comments or messages you is a great way to do this.
Create an online voice that merges these things while being authentic at all times.
