The Secret to Success

For anyone who's still here, I have a tip for you. I know someone's viewing my blogs, even though they are still are in draft mode.

Facebook ads

Facebook ads have been long a very known way to attract tons of people. For just a couple dollars, you can reach thousands of viewers. You probably spend way more on stuff you do everyday. That means, for that piece of bread, that vegetable, or whatever snack your buying from the grocery store, is worth a thousand people looking at a picture you made.

You just need the skills to make an ad, and it can't be that hard. If you've passed high school, you probably know enough. Just look at some ad examples, if that helps.

Deviantart

I've been a deviant user for 2 weeks now: The website Deviantart. Through some artworks I've posted, I've noticed a pattern. Posts with longer descriptions got more views, and posts with shorter descriptions got less views. I decided to go on a test account: testronaapsychotic. In that account, you can see that longer description really do mean more views.

More emotes also seems to do the trick.

Unlike youtube, the description can be completely random. It doesn't matter what it is.

However, there is one downside to this. The views are automatically generated. They aren't from real people. That means there will be less favourites but more views. Fake views that don't come from real people seeing your art.

I might test another thing on this account soon. To see if a higher favourite-view ratio will combat this effect. To do this, I just have to make a bunch of random accounts and get them all to favourite my post. This will take quite a while, so I'll have to use as many devices and incognito pages as I can.

Tags don't seem to do anything. They hardly increase any view rate.

Other than that, there is a legitimate way to get actual viewers.

As I read from the deviantart algorithm, the algorithm is to go on less known subcategories - such as Photography.

They also claim that following (they call it watching) a lot of people works too. But it hardly increases any views for me. They also claim that posting on a regular basis works too, such as every week. Doesn't work for me. I posted nearly every day except during a period before April Fools and it doesn't seem to do anything.

The second thing is to make actual good artwork. Some of my crappier artworks aren't getting as many views as some of my better artworks.

The third thing is to copy. Copy images from the internet that aren't copyrighted, and then upload them. You can go on a royalty-free website and take pictures from there.

In conclusion, there are two ways to get a ton of viewers: Facebook ads and Deviantart. Facebook ads are incredibly cheap, and Deviantart is free. There is also Artstation too, but Deviantart has some exposed algorithms that I know about. You publish on photography, and you make actual good artwork. If you don't want to put in the time and effort, you legally copy from online.
