Question 1

What's the best social media platform for artists?

Accepted Answer

Instagram remains essential for visual artists—it's where collectors and galleries discover new work. Pinterest is powerful for driving website traffic. TikTok's process videos can go viral. YouTube works well for longer tutorials and studio content.

Question 2

How often should artists post on social media?

Accepted Answer

Post 4-5 times per week on Instagram, mixing finished pieces with process content. Pinterest can handle 5-10 pins daily. TikTok rewards daily posting with process videos. Quality matters more than quantity—share your best work.

Question 3

What art content gets the most engagement?

Accepted Answer

Process videos consistently outperform finished pieces—people love watching art come to life. Time-lapse creation videos, satisfying texture shots, and before/after transformations drive high engagement. Behind-the-scenes studio content builds connection.

Question 4

Should artists share their prices on social media?

Accepted Answer

Many successful artists include price ranges or "DM for pricing" in posts. Transparency can reduce friction for buyers. At minimum, share that work is available and how to purchase. Some artists save pricing for their website or direct inquiries.
