Tips on growing your platform?

Posted by Digi-Sasha - November 4th, 2024


Hey, Newgrounds residents.

I am an artist who joined this site a couple of weeks back and since then managed to garner 60 something followers with a few of my art pieces even hitting the front page. Overall, it was pretty fun and more fruitful than most of my other online endeavours, but recently I've really started to stagnate. None of my pieces hit the front page anymore, no comments, no followers. What do I do to actually start getting attention here, lol?

I know it may come off as petty asking these kinds of questions, but it's something I am genuinely frustrated at. Am I just bad at the numbers game? Am I just unlucky?

Any advice would do just fine. Thanks in advance!

Overall, I think that asides from possesing the 'quantity' of 'talent' enough (which you do, already), being 'persistent' on the publishing of your drawings (without 'suffocating' yourself, though, of course) is the main 'key' of the continuation of the 'growth' of your 'digits'...

...However, having said this, I would like to make you one thing clear, in addition: please, 'absent' yourself from 'over-focusing' on the digits, and 'making-them-grow'. Trust me. It's not 'worth-it' (at least, at 'long-term'), and it possibly may end up making you to 'collapse' in frustration for not being 'able' to make them increase 'faster', or to 'a-bigger-scale', sooner than later. Make sure to 'take-your-time' to form your public/fanbase. We aren't at a 'race', nor a 'competition' after all, and you'll see that it's 'healthier' that way for you, 'facing' the future :3.

Yeah, that makes sense! Thanks for the encouragement, I suppose that is a very healthy way to look at things :)

Dude this isn’t a job it’s not like you’ll get payed. And fame sucks in general you can’t make a single mistake experiment or show any bias or else you’ll loose fans.

If anything having less fans is better.

I mean, I'm trying to build a platform and get my name out there so I can at least start getting commissions on here, so in that regard, yes, I am trying to make this my job so I can get paid lol.
Obviously it's not my main motivator for making art or posting on here, but it's just a goal I want to try and achieve nonetheless. You are right about mainstream fame sucking tho
