I understand that many people are spamming to promote, and that’s not okay. However, it’s possible to create dedicated threads or posts on social media every week for people to promote their websites, services, art, or anything else

    Did you have a question or are you informing us that we can use the internet to promote our projects?

    From the looks of things, you’re an artist who doesn’t know how to promote themselves on the internet. I have an idea: don’t. Build up your body of work, present it in public at a gallery. Do something locally that will get eyes on your artwork. Do a huge wall mural. Do a big guerilla piece of artwork involving a group of people. If you’re a musician, you should be playing shows, not worrying about your online presence.

    Art is consumed and spit out by the internet faster than you can say “artistically bankrupt”. It won’t garner you much attention to advertise and promote your art online.

      That’s really not true at all. For many artists social media is the only or best way to gather a following and advertise their products.

      It takes a ton of hard work to build that following since the art market is heavily saturated, especially post-covid, but social media is the best tool for the job.

      OP just doesn’t know what they’re doing and thinks it’s a walled garden.
