Any advice for someone who took time off IG posting because of a sick dog? I for sure feel like I tanked😅
I've been posting on instagram every day for months and my reach is almost zero. Almost nobody sees any of my posts and I really mean just a handful of people. Also, zero engagement, no matter how hard I try to be engaging. And I've been trying to post reels and nothing happens. I've been very discouraged to say the least because I just opened my online shop and I have no customers. So I don't know what is the problem with my posts or with instagram but this is where I'm at. I'm still gonna post every day because I really make art every day.
Unfortunately it just seems like instagram is making it harder and harder to get noticed by smaller artists, so I doubt it's you. Maybe participate in some dtiys or other challenges that are relevant to your art and don't forget to comment on other artists posts to build up a community. You got this!!!
i am vzery sorry its happening to you
algorithm and reach and stuff can suck a lot because talented ppl can just not be seen at all
from what i seen on your channel your very talented
@@squigglysquoot thank you for your suggestions and support! ^_^
@@femo3336 thank you so much, really appreciate you taking some time to watch my stuff 💖
don’t give up, i like what you draw:)
maybe take a step back and rethink your strategy about how/where you put your art out there and what is the outcome you want to get, from whom.
usually distancing yourself from what you do to gain objectivity, keeping it simple and looking for ways to change our perception just to experiment how it feels, can bring you the right solutions for what you need
when you want different results you need to also do things differently
good luck and hope you enjoy the art making process regardless of the struggles🤗
This was such a lovely and thoughtful breakdown of what you did and how you planned to do it. I think too often artists throw their hands up and get mad at social media (I have, but there’s ways to make it work) and sometimes we learn it’s not always worth the energy. I think though at the end of this you weren’t just making art for IG, but you did it for you. You made more stuff for your portfolio and honed your skills more 👏
This was really interesting to watch - thank you for putting it all together for us. I started a 365 Illustration project on January 1st and I'm on Day 202 today and honestly, I'm worn out. I realized very quickly that I had to do this for me and not for the Instagram results or I'd go crazy - I have months where the algorithm likes me and I get great results and then the next month my reach sinks like a stone and it's hard not to take it personally. Doing different DTIYS and daily drawing challenges put on by other artists has kept me going and given me inspiration when I was feeling tapped out. I will say this though - one of my most popular posts so far is the DTIYS of yours with the little mouse that I did! Only 163 more days to go 🤣😂
Oh wow that's a big challenge! Well done for getting this far, and so fun that you did my DTIYS! 🥰
Thank you so much for tracking & sharing the time it needed to post 1 illu per day! 💜 Due to a foot injury, I was trying to do a 1 post per day too as of late and even though, I can't do much besides sitting around in my spare time - drawing and trying to posting so much, felt qiet overwhelming to me. I felt like, I was particularly slow and kinda weak 🙈 Hearing from your experience and numbers, helps ☺
I also wanna thank you for inspiring me to adopt another mindset - that it's about the process & enhancing my art skills vs. perfection💜🌸💜 Each time, when I get frustrated or feel decision fatigue while creating, I remind myself of the approach you had when you started!
Thank you for teaching me so much :) It's valuable support for me🌸🌸🌸
Sending best wishes!!
Gorgeous illustrations, so satisfying to see them come together and fill up the calendar. And thanks for the good info! ✨
I loved seeing your plan for the posts. Winging it day by day is bound to be really hard and unsuccessful!
It's really interesting and encouraging to see. Thank you:)
You’re genuinely talented. We wish you all the best.
Hi Mimi, I really enjoy your planning process, the simplicity and efficiency of your questions/ goals/actions. It’s a very good skill to have, both for business and for mental health:))
Mimi this was so interesting to watch!❤️ It can be so disheartening when you put so much energy into posting/creating art for it reach very little engagement😢 but this has helped so much, so thank you!❤ ~ Rachel x
This is so inspirational 🥹❤ I love how everything is broken down and we see each step! It makes it seem so much more feasible and MUCH less daunting. Thank you, thank you!! 🙌🏼💕
Seems like a very cool art challenge and congrats for pulling through!
But most of all, thank you for the insight into your analytics! I'm sure that will be very helpful to a lot of people ✨ (me included, lol)
Just for this very video it was very well worth it! Thank you so much for sharing this experiment/challenge! It was very insightful. Your art, work flow, and aesthetics are also very inspiring.
this is really interesting! I definitely need to post more on instagram, I pretty much stopped once they only pushed reels and I started doing them instead, I should really get back to it ❤
Thanks Mimi ! I really like your conclusion. It helps me question my goals in social media 👍❤
Such a great video! Very informative and inspiring! Congratulations on completing the challenge! 🎉😁
great set up and execution of this challenge. thanks for posting! your art is adorable.
I really love your videos. You are so inspiring and so much of your advice is helping me in my current situation. Just want to let your know you are making the world a better place!
I love how you share so openly your journey
Thank you fir the data. Just you doing all this work is motivation to make me keep moving
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for doing this video! It was very helpful and gave me some ideas!
Your artwork looks amazing!
I really appreciate that you did this experiment and showed us the results and shared your experience. Thank you. ❤
Btw, i noticed you use a 2-in-1 laptop and also an ipad for your digital illustrations. May I ask which one you prefer? Right now, I have an ipad but was considering a 2-in-1 drawing laptop.
Anyway, thank you again for always sharing your art journey. Have a lovely day!
I was planning to do something similar to this, thanks for all the advice!
I want to start a new Instagram account for my art and was thinking of "kickstarting" it by posting doodling Reels every day for a month before winding down to a more sustainable posting frequency, but I don't know if the experiment you did would work with a super fresh account or if it would be wiser to wait for a bit. But thank you for doing this challenge and breakdown, it was very insightful!
Thank you so much for sharing this! ❤
These are interesting insights! 👏 Your conclusion following the 30 day challenge is great, posting daily is wholly unsustainable. For me, I asked myself what my focus would be on Instagram. I enjoy engaging with other illustrators asking questions and, if I enjoy a particular work I offer SPECIFIC compliments. I emphasize specific because simple platitudes can ring hollow from time to time which can make engagement feel like a grind. So, to that end I find posting a few times a week is sufficient and for the other days commenting specifics create quality over quantity and form a stronger community with other artists. BTW, I got this idea from an earlier video of yours discussing strategies.😃
As far as growth, I think Pinterest is the better option.🤔 Thanks for all of your hard work!
How does Pinterest help with growth? /gen
I love your aesthetic, all your videos are so well done 😊
I love this video and seeing the results of a 30 day challenge. I love reading the comments here too, this community is awesome. I too have difficulty growing my account, most of what I post are mockups of my art and nothing moves even after 30 days, so I dont’ see the results similar to this video. I only have about 700 followers, 500 of those are from my art course. I am curious to know about what it was like at the beginning of trying to grow your account for the first year and how long it took to grow it to where it is today - ie what you did
This was really inspiring and motivational 💫❣️
Thank you for sharing this!
They'll looking for artwork to us! ❤
Thanks so much for this insightful video. I actually wanted to do a similar challenge for this month, however because of having a demanding family and a chronic illness where my energy levels change from day to day, it was not possible for me to be as consistent. Instagram will only help you if you post a lot and post consistantly. So I don't have any hope that I'll grow as fast, but I'm still looking for a strategy that will work for my circumstances. Keep up the good work!
Your content is such a gift! I love how you did the graphics in this video it really demystified a few things about Instagram engagement.
True, her graphics are always very well done and helpful ! That's one of the things I love the most about her channel.
Loved the creative and logical approach to this challenge and yes it was very great to see that even if you have already so many followers it still takes time.
Do you have any tips when it comes to the topic or style of art to post? Like i love a lot...digital collage, digital painting, acrylic painting, stickman doodles, etc. but atm I just post randomly cause posting something is better than nothing imho...but yeah do you have that issue as well and if you do, how do you work with it?
Thanks for sharing these helpful insights.
Mimi this is so nice❤ i also love the entire edit made in this video. Is this something that you can share in one of your videos? Interested to know the process! Thank you
I'm posting daily to increase my reach right now!! Good luck to both of us!❤
It was really helpful, thank you.
I just appreciate you Mimi, for doing so much hardwork just to show artists like us! I definitely used to post daily and had growth, but now I don't seem to have the energy! But looking at this video, I think I might do this on August😌❤ Great editing, graphics and video, as always ❤
Thanks for your sweet comment, Daksha! It would be lovely to see more of your art in my IG feed if you decide to do a challenge! 🥰
@@MimimooIllustration yes! I'm actually hosting a lettering challenge 💗
Awesome job on your visually stunning videos. What editing tools do you use?
Good luck on your Instagram experiment 😊
Your videos are always so insightful and light to watch! I also love the video editing, it makes everything much more fun to watch!
Thanks so much - I really appreciate that!
@@MimimooIllustrationwhat video editing tools/application and techniques you use
I love your ilustrations but your video editing skils are just WOOW 😮
I have my partner to thank! He edits my videos and he's very good 😊
Your blessed amazing art
I LOVE the dtiys challenges. They are prefect for when i want to draw but don't have any ideas. 🙂
This was really helpful and insightful, so thank you for sharing your 30 day challenge. For me, it feels like for the past year, my Instagram account has gone nowhere. Even participating in Inktober last year barely reached any new people. I did DTIYS challanges every week last year and got likes, but its becoming harder for me to participate in DTIYS challenges AND posting my own art at the same time. I've been thinking of doing a 30 day challenge of some kind, but it has to be something very simple and that I want to do. I know I'm gonna do Inktober again this year and MAYBE I'll do DTIYS challenges again. I just need re-evaluate my strategy and this video inspired me to get started!
Hi Mimi. I love your videos. They are truly inspiring. My goal now is to buy a tablet, which one are you using in this video??? THANK YOU
Thank you for making this video!! Out of curiosity though, did you use hashtags at all when making the posts, or was this an experiment secluded to just posting once a day?
Amazing informative videos. Just came across your channel and saw these lovely illustrations. Could you share what device are you using to draw?
Thank you for sharing!! Pretty cool. Do you think it makes a difference in growth if you schedule the posts rather than posting them daily?
hmm interesting outcome 🙂 I've thought about doing a 100 day challenge for practice and posting the result on Instagram, might be worth it since i would be drawing anyway 🙃
What illustration app do you use? Thanks xx
I always learn so much from your videos! They’re always so well made, thoughtful and engaging. They have been a super awesome resource for my own art business- so thank you 😊
What program did you use for editing your videos?
Ho dear mimi, which digital app and pen do you use?
❤❤
I’m hoping to try this, but for my herbal tea & wellness business. I’m not sure how I will spin it 🤔
I enjoyed your video and took account of what you did, but the only thing I see that can be discouraging to alot of people is that you already have an established account with an huge following. It makes it a whole lot easier for you (no offense)....I honestly do not think this will work for newbies or those trying to revive old accounts :/
Not trying to sound negative but ive seen new people struggle even with posting every day.
I know with my situation I am getting viewers but no followers. I am not going to give up because I am doing my art for me and if people want to follow and support I would obviously love that but alot of people want to see growth and start their own art business.
Plz share me which laptop and software for drawing
Please Mimi make a video on how can I make sales on Teemill !!!😢😢
For someone starting now, is IG really worth it ? Can a new account grow (even quite slowly) without playing the game of constant posting ? I feel like I'll never be able to post daily nor that I would want to. Even by working a lot doing one artwork per week is really hard for me. Nonetheless, thank you for your content, your journey inspires me a lot and helps me fight self doubt. Wish you the best !
I think if you enjoy having somewhere to share the art that you make, then it can be worth it because you can grow a community of art friends. But if you want to grow a social media account without posting very often then perhaps a different platform would be a good fit? You could always try a couple of different platforms and see what feels good for you (Twitter, TikTok, Facebook etc)
May I ask what laptop and stylus pen are u using? Thank u!
Just look at her gear info, but the laptop is a Microsoft Surface Book 3
Maybe you have a piece of advice. I would love to post much more often than I currently do but my drawings take around 6-8hrs/piece instead of 1-2 hours. How could I post more often when I can maybe do a full drawing 1x/week. As I have a full time job too, which is not art related. I can't just post wips all throughout the week. But if I post once/twice a week that's definitely not enough for growth.
post progress shots of the work. I do that when I'm working on a bigger one. Sometimes in my feed, sometimes in stories and sometimes as a reel. People like to see the behind the scenes and they're always interested to see how an idea started and what it looked like when it's all done and the phases in between.
Reveal the piece bit by bit. So if it's like a big canvas post that can be four posts. The upper and lower right side one day and the upper and lower left another. This does depend on your subject matter, this would work for florals and pieces with a lot of intricate details.
it actually does.. it may be slow. but yes. it does. and i don't even do it every day. i post my sketchdaily stuff only so far...and it has increased the reach.. also i found that certain type of art will have more reach. for example my hyperrealism has the least number...while my ugly sketches actually have more. dunno why. but it is what it is. and have to thank you all for all the bots that followed me 😂
I've been posting 5 times a week ( posts + reels) but not even my reels get more than 200 views:/ I really dunno what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you I'm going to be trying this because i'm at 165 followers and my goal is 200 or 230 followers!
