In the age of social media, Instagram has become a platform for artists to showcase their work and gain a following. However, many artists struggle to gain traction and find that nobody is following their art on Instagram. There are a number of reasons why this may be the case, and it’s important for artists to understand the potential reasons behind their lack of followers.
One common reason why nobody follows an artist’s work on Instagram is simply that their content may not be engaging or visually appealing. In the world of social media, high-quality visuals are key to capturing the attention of followers. If an artist’s work is not visually appealing or does not stand out from the rest of the content on Instagram, it’s likely that they will struggle to gain a following. Artists should consider honing their visual style and creating content that is eye-catching and unique.
Additionally, the frequency at which an artist posts can play a significant role in gaining followers. Inconsistent posting can lead to a lack of engagement and interest from potential followers. It’s important for artists to maintain a consistent posting schedule in order to keep their work in front of their audience and stay relevant on the platform.
Another potential reason why an artist may struggle to gain followers is that they are not effectively utilizing Instagram’s features and tools. Instagram offers a variety of features such as stories, reels, and IGTV that can be used to showcase an artist’s work and connect with their audience. Artists should consider using these features to their advantage in order to increase visibility and engagement with their content.
Finally, it’s important for artists to actively engage with the Instagram community in order to gain a following. This includes engaging with other users, participating in challenges and collaborations, and utilizing hashtags to increase visibility. Building a presence within the Instagram community can help artists to gain exposure and attract new followers to their work.
Overall, there are a variety of reasons why an artist may struggle to gain followers on Instagram. It’s important for artists to consider the quality of their content, their posting frequency, their use of Instagram features, and their engagement within the community in order to improve their chances of gaining a following. By understanding and addressing these potential issues, artists can work towards growing their following and reaching a wider audience with their art.

I designed my blog very well, but Instagram doesn’t show my posts to anyone for free. I am very disappointed in Instagram and in general I don’t want to be there.
En resumen, esto es todo un verdadero trabajo, si realmente quieres hacerlo por que te apasiona y quieres trabajar independiente y en lo que amas, entonces estos consejos ayudan mucho. A mi me ha costado crecer ,especialmente por que no soy muy activa en redes, a veces me siento abrumada, estresada , con algun bajón emocional etc. y crear contenido y todo lo relacionado a ser creador de contenido, es muy denso de verdad. Estás tan activo mentamente que de cierta manera eso estresa mucho, el hecho de ser como una máquina que tiene que crear contenido medio genérico para hacerte conocido en redes,es una pasada. yo digo desde mi experiencia. aparte si no ves que tiene resultados con la audiencia . te frustras mucho , no se pero , a mi en lo personal , tanta tensión de querer triunfar un poco con mi arte y mi carrera , para conseguir empleo. me ha causado mucho malestar. incluso estoy sufriendo de estrés. por ello y más admiro el trabajo de los que crean contenido en cualquier medio, de verdad que es admirable y se aprecia. hay qye valorar el trabajo honesto, sobre todo por que ahora nos hacen competencia la IA , Que a mi parecer ha sido una mie*rda que para eso sea tan automático para uno sea un verdadero trabajo agotador, ojo lo disfrutamos, disfrutamos hacer arte pero al princio cuando nos ves resultados, sientes que estas volviendo loco.
You know it’s my own goal to create my own anime series but I’m worried if people might hate it or not like it
All of my followers are from when I was a fan account…. But I haven’t been a fan account for like 5 years now and nothing is changing. It’s really discouraging

Any recommendations for posting for non animation, non character art?
Loved this vid! Speaking of adapting, I recently started using boost app social for my reels and supplemental content. Noticed a difference in my engagement.
Where is the other options to post my artwork on social media?
This is one giant ad, move on.
Thank you so much for sharing this, I appreciate this advice as a fellow artist sort of lost as to what Im doing with my own content.
Im kind of just creating things without really knowing what to do with them or how to get more eyes on them, but I think it's a thing that I need to change up and provide something different that is a little more simpler, than the complex things I draw…if I want to see more growth.
It's given me a lot to think about.
But what I appreciated most, is what you had to say about tags, because I see so many artists saying things like "don't even both with tags they're useless" …but I see ZERO interaction without a single tag, so for me, they are helpful. I think they do something and even if it's just 2 more eyes on my art, that's more than enough for me.
Thanks again <3

changing styles completely might make people not recognize your art. I sometimes find myself unfollowing people when they appear on my feed and I don't remember following them, then I check their feed and turns out I loved their art but it changed.
But having extreme consistency ("unified" posts as you said) is not good either. It might seem like a good idea because it makes your profile very aesthetically pleasing and makes your style more recognizable, but you have to think about a couple of things:
– most of the time we are interacting with the individual posts in our feed and not with your whole profile, so making it unified and aesthetic is completely lost to your followers. You gotta aim to make each individual post as eye catching as possible. If not, only your most loyal fans are gonna say "hey! this artist posted!". Not every follower is a total fan and not every interaction is from a follower.
-having a very unified style also drives away the people that do check your profile. it looks nice over all but it also becomes boring when choosing which posts to look at closely. By having variety the people that do check your profile will have something to catch their eye that they'll go and look and interact with.
Remember that most of the people checking your profile are probably not following you and are checking if it is worth it so if they see a few stand out posts in your profile they might follow. If they only see one or two things they'll just like or save those posts and leave. The people that already follow you that check your profile are most likely fans that saw something in their feed or stories and are checking to see if they missed any posts.
Most of your followers and fans are gonna be seeing their feed with your stuff mixed with everything else they follow. You gotta make things engaging and fun because a lot of times we don't remember every single artist we follow. I won't remember your username or your artstyle, but I will remember the specific artwork I liked or the story that I want to continue, and if I see it often enough I'll start recognizing you as the artist.
you also have to think about the type of interaction you want. relatable and funny stuff are great because they get a lot of likes and get shared around. Like you said stuff about friends, parters, family etc might make people share it through dms with their friend/parter/family, but most times when someone sends me a post on DMs I don't go follow the user. I just like the post. I think the best posts are gonna be ongoing stories and funny jokes. Jokes get shared around on DMs, stories, get tons of likes and might get people wanting to see more. Ongoing stories are a good way to get followers because if they like the story they might go to he profile, check the previous posts to see the rest of the story, get invested and then follow to get the new parts later.
girl ur thumbnail and title are so cute and engaging , knew i’d like the video before i even watched it
I always focuse on quality over quantity in my art works
do you suggest making different instagram pages for different comics? or do you put them all on one account? like an account for general art, and account for comic 1 another for other comic ideas
The only reason i post on ig is for advertising my comic and its lore using trends i post my illustration elsewhere in galleries and stuff
Thank you❤

Your beautiful
I’m still trying to get discovered and get better supportive fans . I’m a self tought artist and I don’t go to college for a reason and I’m struggling . Been using Facebook, Instagram, TikTok , and YouTube. Even twitch . I did created a video how I started painting and why . People that also don’t understand my disability and how much I struggle. They don’t understand that my art are my kids if I don’t have 2 or 3 the same original pieces of art to keep 1 and have the rest to
Sell , it’s hard to make the same original artwork. People don’t respect how I feel when I made this and can’t sell them .I love making art .I still get scams more than fans and ongoing fans . Nft scammers are sneaky. I never get ongoing fans that always comment on any of my social medias and ask questions about my art . There is a random person this week went on my personal Facebook account that’s not my Facebook art page comment on my photos saying nasty stuff randomly about my logo and art work where my overprotective family and friends can see and say it’s blurry but I know it’s not blurry and start using a laughing emoji on my post . People like her is immature. My mom says people don’t understand your art and why and how you feel and don’t understand your disability are evil . People like that are evil . https://youtube.com/@pocahontasseguinart7099

you seem like the asian Shoe0nHead
Well im too disabled to work so may as well double down on my art then. Thanks for the insights. <3
Instagram seems impossible to keep up with these days for artist. It used to be the place to be
Great insights. A lot of good stuff to consider. Ty for sharing.
Yeah, Instagram is a joke of a platform and yes, my drawings suck, but there wasn't anything I was doing to set myself apart from the crowd either. It never even crossed my mind after 10 years after trying lmfao.
They dont follow your art account because you didn't optimize it
They don't follow mine because my art is shit.
We are not the same
What attracts me most is your full color scheme, of warm and cool colors. As for Instagram it is the first thing we see, before actually seeing the full picture. This is more than likely the reason for your doodle comics not to be at full swing. But sold as a comic people are more likely looking at the detail covering and the content more. After all IG short attention is like 5 sec and next.
I LOVE Oni!! It's so good! Such a great story, and such a fun style to look at!
yeah and I need someone to promote.
