A small ,overthinking artist's postin struggles
2 years ago
General
ARGH so i want a place to post all my arts and wips and progress stuff, but the thing is its hard to know what site to post it on!
I have too many options. and the thing is, i know the more sites i commit to posting to, the more burnt out i will get:
->I want to use furaffinity to put all my "finished" work to have a good gallery, since I know i can have everything pretty organized in folders and such. but i know it won't get much attention. perhaps the lack of big attention would also make it a good place to spam like daily wips? I also like the idea of tumbr to post daily wips. but again not too much reach.
->i feel VERY comfortable posting anything on mastodon, but again not too much traction. but i know "traction" is not everything, and i love the interactions and comments I have over there. probably the most communicative community i have been a part of online so far!!!
->instagram is AWESOME for finished peices, cause artists post so much there and the audience is pretty big. Twitter (yes TWITTER) was great for that, but now i feel recently the audience has been split between that and bluesky. Now i mainly use those sites for more social situations tbh.
so agh what do i do??? Should i just like... wips on FA, Masto, and Insta stories, then finished stuff on everything??? Is it possible to like make my own blog to organize my own stuff?? Will that be too much work and I'll get tired of it?? am i overthinking all this?!?!?! BLEGH
ugh idk. is it that hard making a blog and having some posts update to most socials? or is adding another thing probably not gonna work out? blegh 💀
