I know “success” can be defined broadly and can vary by field… but I would like to hear your story, how you utilize it if you utilize social media and your results with either case.
I deleted my instagram a while back and don’t like to use Facebook… however I made a new IG and (I know it’s not a place for photography anymore) I’m realizing I still don’t care for it. I enjoyed Flickr a while back but I tried logging in and it is becoming a hassle (I’ll have to make a new email and profile for some reason).
I would rather have a personal website and use IRL interactions for business. I’m happy with Posting on the website itself for showcase and make prints for personal enjoyment… I wouldn’t mind exploring another option if one comes up that is decent.
Anyways, how has your art and business evolved for you online?
95% of my jobs have come from referrals. People I used to work with went on to other companies and they need my services. Those are usually the clients with budget. There are the one off brands that do a shoot here and there but like any business it’s who you know.
It pays to be personal and provide good service! Thanks for chiming in.
