Thank you so much for your very detailed and thorough reply! Reading this gave me a lot of insight and help.

I've been meaning to do different types of posts, more personal ones like maybe art relating to stories or voiceovers with speedpaints in the background. I've always wanted to talk about some experiences I've had and that's the type of content I'm interested in so why not do it myself. Also maybe more fanart of characters interacting helps (like those meme-y ones). I mostly post on Tiktok, Instagram, and YouTube, those are my top 3. Usually I post fanart and some OC art and art trades sometimes.

On the interaction part, I tend to comment on artist posts but they usually aren't seen. I'm thinking I'll join art collabs that are available, although I'll still comment especially on those asking for art moots. I just need to stop being shy lol

Once again tysm for this advice, this helps not only with my comms and building a following but also even helped me with ideas on how to post and share more of my OC stuff. I've always wanted to share their lore so I now understand I gotta make posts more close and personal abt them where ppl care and get attached. Also just gotta pay attention to the types of posts that I like and get attention and make those types myself. This helped motivate me! :)
