A thought about creating "Audician"
Dear Artists,
ASF and ArtHelper are instructing us how to create Audician for our Art Works...
I'd like to share some thoughts about doing this, thinking 'out of the box'.
If one follows the way to search for groups in FB, the system will forward you to different groups in which you have to look for groups with at least a number of members of 1K...
The system selects the types of groups based on general criteria entered by you in order to achieve the widest possible coverage. Here are some examples of groups selected by my system for one of my art paints: Home Decor Ideas 358 K, Home Decoration 286 K, The Beautiful Nature 43 K... As one can see, these are very large groups with thousands of members. A post intended to reach potential audiance gets lost among thousands of other posts or news items and is therefore rarely noticed or seen as just another advertisement.
That's why I think we should try "to think outside the box"...
I explain by another example. If you have a piece of art featuring a beautiful building, it would be more interesting not to post it in a general group like "Home Decor", but rather in groups such as "Architects", "Construction Companies" and "Engineering Firms". A piece of art will attract more attention in such a group, among all the other more technical posts, if only because of its design and content... An Architect i.e. might look at the artwork, appreciate it, and perhaps think it could decorate his office as a reference to his profession and finaly buy it...
It's, to me, a different way to appeal the market.
What do you think? Do some of affiliated artists have any experience with this? Or can one share another way of getting a higher audiance? It would be interesting to share experiences in this toppic. Have a nice day!
It is a good way of thinking, but you don't really have an "excuse" to post a work of art in a group that has nothing to do with it, say a group of embroidery.
The thinking behind the Niche research does, in fact, need to go outside the box, but more in a "who would appreciate this art piece" way.
For example, your piece titled Silent Gathering would be a great fit for tango, salsa, or any couple's dance groups.
The one titled Samurai would be a great post on Martial Art Groups, or even Fashion groups. Then, we have Pink Veil, a great example of a supporting post for feminist movements, or all your textured series, perfect for geologist groups.
Do you see the pattern? It's not about 'what' your art is, but rather 'who' would appreciate it.
Thanks, Indra, for your comment, I'll keep it in mind. But don't you think it's worth a tryout of my suggestion, beside the normal way of Niche research?
It is worth a try, as long as you follow all community guidelines within the groups. What worries me is that you can get banned for posting out-of-context. These groups are generally specifically created to have conversations around a specific topic.
