I saw your stuff on IG. Hive and cryptosocial media is another territory to navigate. It's both a social media but not quite like the usual place where you can just post as much as you want as a like here can be synonymous to upvote and that equates to monetary value in crypto.

It's difficult to get noticed early as you're new but the fastest way is just connecting with other people that share similar interest. For now, it's not ideal to watch other people's payouts, that's the most solid advice I could give as rewards on a post don't mean the quality is justified.

I like surreal art. I think @phage93 would love to put you under his curation radar too. We got a lot of curation communities dedicated to promoting other users.

Another helpful tip is not to post too often, I think thrice is already the max socially acceptable rule of thumb because it comes off as spammy and less people aren't going to upvote the same person even all the time. So post once or twice a day and spend more time engaging with other users is the best way to manage your time.

I recommend having a discord account and getting in touch with communities here. I run an art community called ArtBees, it's not an upvote community but a place to just share your art and chill with other members if you can, it's just a small knit community. There are a lot of art communities here too but some are inactive/unmoderated and users just end up unnoticed.

He replied to my IG account inquiry. He's legit and thank you for the supporting him too :>

yes i read the whole conversation before!
this is the spirit i like to see on hive!

Thank you so much...I really do appreciate the helpful advice, I cant wait to fall into a like minded community of artists and art lovers. This space already seems way more friendly than other social media sites....I signed up discord yesterday, still learning. I may be 42 years old but I've actively ignored technology until this year. I quit my job as a dental technician and decided to go full time into my artwork, I started painting again on January 15th and so far I've made 98 paintings since then...I feel very motivated to make art my career and hopefully I can gain some traction with NFT art...just started that too. Again thank you for sharing my work and offering kind advice.

It's several layers of adjustment and you'll get used to it. I still don't get some of the crypto stuff going on. That's a bold move, quitting your job for crypto art. I personally wouldn't dare to do that and would just try to do art for a hobby but it's your gamble and I hope it pays off. There's @nftshowroom for minting your works on the blockchain, plenty of other sites that also do this but self marketing is what makes or breaks the artist any platform.

Just chat me up if you need some help with anything. :>
