Hey all – big news today with the launch of reputation point rewards!

Reputation Points are our way of tangibly rewarding you for making ArtHelper an artist community that's worth visiting every day.

You earn them for creating great discussion posts, sharing your work, leaving comments, giving artists critiques, and inviting others to join in.

And now, you can redeem them for real rewards:

Paid subscriptions: Human-Made Art, Instagram Growth, and ArtHelper Pro
Studio-grade artist services: a bespoke portfolio PDF, Instagram and Facebook Glow-Ups, even 1-hour art business consultations
Cash payouts: coming soon!

Looking at other online artist communities, they all seem to struggle with the same few issues. Off-topic noise, engagement bait, trolling, algorithms designed to distract and upset you...😵‍💫

These are all side effects of the fact that platforms like Reddit and Facebook simply weren't designed with artists in mind. And you can feel it.

On ArtHelper, we're ALL-IN on making the dream platform for creatives. In fact, most of our features this year have come directly from your suggestions!

ArtHelper belongs to all of us, and now you can financially benefit just from participating. 💪

We'd love your feedback on this update! Keep in mind this is a soft launch. Expect a few rough edges. If something looks off or breaks, tell us in the comments and we'll fix it fast.

Enjoy!

Taylor
