❤️🖤🤍➡️ We want Instagram back.

REPOST-REPOST-REPOST

The new format and algorithms are not working, and we have had enough. The old Instagram worked, that’s why we used it. It fuelled business and allowed us to connect with friends, family, and colleagues from all over the world, regardless of nation, race, gender, or wealth. It allowed us to speak openly about things that mattered and things that didn’t. It was our choice, and we enjoyed and prospered from this freedom. 

What we want

* Equal status for photos and reels (let us decide what we want to post and see).
* Give us back the old algorithms. The new ones DO NOT accurately connect us to our audience.
* Remove the suggested reels. They have made IG unusable and stopped our followers from making meaningful connections.
* Remove the black background and text overlays. They're ugly and confusing.

Join our campaign to make Instagram not just listen but hear our plea. Repost this post, design your own, repost someone else's. Tell your story. Just fill Instagram with a clear message: we are not happy and we want to see change.

Please sign the petition and use the tags below.

from As nice as it would be to let your art speak for itself, it doesn’t quite work like that.
Sooner or later, people are going to have questions about your work, and they’ll look to your artist statement for answers. Your artist statement will either entice them to dig deeper into your art business or it will scare the sale right out of them.
In order to nail this introduction and make your art business unforgettable, answer these five questions for potential buyers in your artist statement:

from ❤️❤️❤️ At ASP, we often get asked how often you should post.

This may surprise you, but if you wish to increase reach and followers, you should post 14–20 times per week (not including reels).

If you want more engagement, then you can post a little less. 

For reels, the best results come from 4–7 times per week. 

Yes, I know that’s a lot of content to create. Clearly, that may be too much for some (including me), so be kind to yourself and be realistic about what you think you can do. And if you do not achieve that, don’t panic. It’s only social media.

Creating a weekly plan can make this easier, allowing you to curate your account, and attract IG’s algorithms. The new algorithms like patterns of behaviour with engaging content that is in focus and clear. It also likes posts that have a call to action and engage your viewers to make comments.

Give each post a purpose, i.e., how do you want your viewers to respond? Click on a link, comment, message or buy art.

Be flexible. Things come up, new work is made, inspiration comes, so don’t be afraid to change things when necessary. 

Hot Tip: if you're posting twice per day, try 6 am and 10 pm It helps to prepare your post the day before. Then post it when you get up. Worst times to post are 9 am - 10 am and 2 pm - 8 pm.

❤️❤️❤️➡️ See this post for a quick guide to buying artwork through the Artist Support Pledge.

ASP is intended to connect artists/makers directly with buyers. It is a simple and effective way to support artists and buy art. Do post your purchases and tell your friends and followers how to take part.

•••••••

We must learn to see and to see generously. Even artists struggle to ‘see’. 

One of the pleasures of buying art is learning this. We often talk about people with "refined taste". Perhaps a better understanding of seeing is ‘A Generous Eye’. Like everything else, it takes practice, so here are a few pointers to help. 

1. Look with curiosity and awareness.
2. Enjoy it and expect to be surprised.
3. Be patient and look slowly.
4. Don’t judge things to be good or bad, just let them spark your mind and see where they take you.
5. Remember that art is a gift, not an acquisition. We merely pay for the artist to have enough freedom to create more gifts.
6. An artist needs food, materials to make and the hope that what they do matters. Your support is always greater than the value paid.

Thank you, buyers, for your support and generosity. We live in uncertain times, but with a generous eye, all things are possible. 

Repost and tell your friends, colleagues and collectors. For a users guide please see the HOW TO page on the website (link in bio).

from Tidy up - giving your account a spring makeover is an easy and effective way of attracting supporters and buyers. Spend a little time each week editing and learning about how to present yourself and your work. Try the following tips to get started.

Make sure your name is on the account and your bio gives clear information about who you are and what you do. 

If you have a gallery or website, put a link in the bio. ASP can increase awareness of your work and connect you to collectors, curators, and galleries. 

Edit the first twelve images so they look good together, perhaps archive those that don’t. Most people will only look at the first twelve images.

Learn from your peers, keep an eye on how other artists and makers are using their accounts and keep their supporters and buyers updated.  

If you don't know how to use functions on Instagram such as stories, highlights, or reels, see the help centre in the settings on your account or google your question. 

Remember that ASP is a dynamic community and economy that needs attention and generosity to work. 

••••••••••••••

Repost and tell your friends, colleagues and collectors. For a users guide please see the HOW TO page on the website (link in bio).

Strategy tips from 🐙➡️ Pre-launch marketing occurs before the official launch of your product or service and the goal of it is to raise awareness and build excitement for your brand. 🙌 It’s also a prime time to test different messages, marketing channels and tactics so you know what works.

Pre launches can be anywhere from a few weeks to a few months but at the end of the pre-launch, you should have:
⭐️ An excited audience who wants to buy from you
⭐️ Social media followers and email subscribers
⭐️ A clear understanding of the types of marketing that works for your audience and your business

To help you out we have put together a guide on creating your first pre-launch strategy, check out the blog post now 🤗- https://ed.gr/dez8p
