How I gained followers

It’s a long story! I’ve been actively posting my artwork online ever since I started drawing digitally in 2003, so that’s where it started for me. I started out on these websites called Oekaki boards, where I posted artwork alongside other board users. I also posted all my work to Deviantart and maintained a personal website during that time. In 2009-2010, social media platforms became huge. During this time, I branched out to tumblrinstagramfacebook, and twitter. In general, I try to stay flexible and evolve with the changing social media landscape. I think posting cosistently for such a long time allowed my following to snowball over time, and I also think that I started out when was way easier to build a following – social media algorithms didn’t exist yet and the platforms were way less saturated. In many ways, I was in the right place at the right time. My current focus is on building my newsletter, since I find that social media is getting more and more restrictive.
