(Disclaimer: This social media marketing is mainly for those who want to grow their art account from scratch)
⦁ Reel for Artists (Highly recommended)
After, massive success of other similar platforms like YouTube short and Tiktok, Art Instagram also didn’t want to stay back on the race. So, Instagram recently introduces their new feature called ‘ Instagram Reels ‘ which resulted in great success for Artists like you, whether you are a digital artist, landscape artist, silk artist or anything. Also, They are giving away free organic reach like anything on reels to promote the usage of their new feature. You can easily gain 50–100 Artist followers through just one viral reel. I highly recommended that you should start making reels at least 2–3 times a week to witness the insane followers growth on your Instagram art page. Try recording Work in progress videos, painting tutorials or maybe participate in trending Art challenges.
⦁ Artist Shoutout/ collaboration
This method helped me gain around 800+ best Art Instagrams followers in just a month. Shoutout or collaboration simply means when we share someone’s artwork on our stories and in return they will do the same for you. You can ask them to follow you in return of shoutout or just a ‘shout out for the shoutout’. Search for people for having an Art page similar to yours in terms of followers and art medium.
⦁ Interaction is the key!
One of the most effective ways to become a successful artist in social media is engagement. The more you engage with other Artist audiences, more the Instagram will reward you with the organic reach on your Art account. You can interact with other profile similar to your niche by Liking, commenting or by bringing up the conversation. It may sound a bit pushing initially, but you will certainly get amazed by the new notification every minute (+1 follower, +3 followers, +9 followers and so on) and also, you will get to know other talented Artists similar of your niche.
⦁ Artwork Hashtag
You’ve heard this several times not to use complete 30 hashtags for your Instagram artist account but in reality that’s not how Instagram algorithm works especially for Artists. Using complete 30 Instagram artists hashtags for the new Art Account is highly recommended as hashtags are the only way by which you can rank on the explore page. ‘You can easily gain 20–30 followers of painters of Instagram per post through hashtags’ , Search for hashtags relevant to your Instagram artist profile and have comparatively less crowd (between 100–500k posts) because your post will get vanished in couple on minutes on hashtags that are highly crowded.
There are several Art sharing pages on Instagram that feature the Artwork of the particular medium (but beware of scammers). Check their Instagram artist bio to know how to approach them or You can message them and ask to publish your work on their channels. It’s a good and quick way to gain followers on your Instagram Art page. You can gain 50–100 followers easily through this method.
