If you use Instagram then you will be very familiar with this type of ad-claim. How to grow your sales; how to grow your followers; how to grow your art business, and on …and on. There seem to be so many of them that I become suspicious. If success is so easy, and so easily accessible—they all promise results within weeks or months—then it can’t be that difficult; can it? And they each have a number of endorsements from artists who have achieved their dreams by following the programme.
Has anyone here any experience of these ads and claims?
I ask because I am very aware that there is a trick, a technique, a skill maybe, in using social media successfully. And I’m aware also that it requires—or seems to require—a particular frame of mind. One that I don’t have.
Opinions?
PLEASE how do I make these dreadful yellow things go away? OMG there's even more of the awful things now.

Find me on FacebookJune 6, 2021 at 12:27 pm #1413777The (few) successful on-line artists here are the ones who started off with a lot of friends. Friendly folk, popular, big families. And not poor. There’s one artist who has a clientele of veddy rich buyers (friends) who also tell her what they like, and she follows their advice. I think it doesn’t help her art; but it helps her popularity with them.

June 18, 2021 at 5:39 am #1416177Should I take it from the oblique answers that no-one has used one of the advertised schemes? I could only watch three minutes of the video before he irritated me so much I didn’t care what he had to say.
One hundred a day is nonsense for most users and even the most successful artists on IG post nowhere within shouting distance of that—unless you have a team of assistants it’s not even possible; and I wouldn’t want to feel like I have to bully people like that to get their attention.
So I ask again; does anyone have any real experience of the type of scheme that’s not snake-oil selling.
