I am crazy. That is the main reason why you should buy me. Am I already doing this sales thing wrong? Probably. can't promise that I will do better in the future but I will try to explain myself. I think that crazy and brave at times goes hand in hand. To seek an artist or a blogger career one has to be either brave or crazy. I am seeking both of those goals at the same time so I guess my craziness is double the norm. I have been creating paintings and writing blogs since 2017. That is about seven years. And after those years I have little to show for it. Sure I created about sixty paintings during that time. I gifted many of them away and sold a few. Far too little for my liking. One woman once said that my works are better than Picasso but that doesn't translate to sales of my paintings. I doubt that I even got back money I spend on materials by selling my art. My blog has grown a bit. I now have nearly 9k Hive stake. That at first seems like a lot. But once I consider the amount of time I spent on Hive it seems very little. At this point you may just consider me a failure. And in a way you would be right. If basically no one is buying my art and my grow on Hive is so slow it means that I have failed in some ways. I should have done more. I should have been better at what I do. So why would you buy me even if I am a failure? I think that this shows that I have the will to keep on struggling even in a desperate, losing battle. And that will should be worth something. Let's say five dollars? I think that is a reasonable price for buying me. If my will to fight is not enough reason to make this purchase you might also consider a few more positive qualities of me. Despite everything I told so far I still look into future with hope. Also while I might not be the best person to talk to I think that I can listen quite well.
you selling yourself for 5 dollars? O.O thats too cheap bro why u putting your value down like that
Drugs...gotta buy more drugsI recently saw a video were artist sold his painting for 4 dollars. I am worth as much as my art because art is expression of me. So I decided to be greedy and ask for more than that artist got for his painting.
maybe u can use your skills. do nft art and sell that o.o. since u in the crypto space might as well build on that. should be easier to sell online wtih crypto than the real life stuff?
I also found a place called Fiverr. But I think that it is more for digital artists.
fiverr ya prob more towards digital. but with your skills i think u could pick up digital
I only sold 1 nft so I don't think that it is easier.
Recently I discovered art auctions.
https://www.sothebys.com/en/
https://www.mutualart.com/
I may try my luck there. But normal people can't list art for sale there. Only galleries can. So I might ask my gallery to list some of my works in the future.
u will sell more. I think u can do it. i mean like u can do those collections. get someon to hire u to do those nft projects not sure if its still hot anymore or people just get ai to do it
I hate the AI.
o.o ya its ruining artists
I tried selling nft for as little as this:
https://nftshowroom.com/gallery/fieryfootprints_fieryfootprints_a-couple
https://nftshowroom.com/gallery/fieryfootprints_fieryfootprints_earth-elemental
and people still were not interested. So I think that nft are no longer popular.
it depends u need to have some hype. better if u have utility. hard to find people that purely buy for art. most people want to flip
I read with great interest and appreciate your honesty in expressing your feelings and thoughts. I understand that you are frustrated with your artwork sales and blog growth. However, let's look at it from a different perspective. Although you feel that the sales of your paintings are not satisfactory and the growth in Hive is still slow, success cannot always be measured only by numbers or material results. Every step forward, however small, is an achievement to be proud of. The madness and courage you mentioned are important traits in pursuing a career as an artist or blogger. Having the courage to pursue your passion and involve yourself in the world of art and writing is a great step. Keep fighting and keep moving forward on this journey.
yes you are right. I believe that a small possibility means that is not zero. So the only path left is forward. thank you.
you're welcome
This is the life of the artist, where we spend more on materials than what we receive in return 😅 However, we must continue to strive every day.
P.S. I think 5$ is very little.
I agree giving up is not an option. Thank you very much.
These two videos really hits home:
