Thank you so much for submitting this question on Jenna Webb art.com/podcast. You inspired this episode. So here's what Lori said when she wrote into the show. My biggest challenge at the moment is how to gain followers on Instagram. It feels as if the right people, ideal clients are following and commenting and reacting to my Instagram post. Yet the amount of people has not gone up in quantity very much in the last year. Of the few artists I follow myself that appear to be selling a lot successfully on Instagram. Those artists all have over 10,000 followers. I have 380 followers. My few Instagram followers have not purchased anything in over a year. So I'm interested in gaining new followers, but how?"

Lori. I really appreciate this question because I have heard this story from a lot of you. Almost all of you. You feel like your social media growth has plateaued. And you feel like in order to beat the algorithm, you have to be at its Beck and call. The algorithm is not your boss. That is a totally demoralizing concept. I started creating art and the living from it for the freedom. Not to be at the Beck and call of anyone and certainly not the algorithm. None of us want to be on our phones. We are influencers. We are artists. Less social media and more studio, please. Before recording the podcast today, I was looking through my camera roll to see what I could use for real content. And I have some great B roll from the concert I went to this weekend. Oh my God. And I almost didn't go because I had a terrible. Terrible. F-ing migraine. I was laying in bed and we got lawn passes to the outdoor amphitheater for the whole summer. So we get to see every show and it was a first show of the summer. I really wanted to see this band Hozier and I was planning on not going on, even told my good friend that I was like, Hey, count me out. I'm not going, I have a migraine, I'm dead to the world in bed. Um, but. 20 minutes before we actually decided to leave. I got a new spring in my step and I had listened to a few of their songs and I was like, you know what, I'm effing going. So I'm really glad that I got to go. Hosers. voice is oh, amazing. They're the band that sings take me to church. And oh, they rock out so good. It's like listening to the black keys for me. I love music, so that was definitely the highlight of my weekend. Like pushing through overcoming a battle and I live for music. So that was really fun. So I'm going to use some of that content, on silent for B roll. four reels and then, I even filmed some of what I'm doing for the podcast today. in a time lapse and, real time mode for Reel content as well. So that was really fun if you're following me on TikTok and Instagram and Jenna Webb art, you'll see some concert footage. So let's dive in to your two steps to selling on social media right now. Here's what's got to change. Step one. It's not sad, but it does start with a breakup. Breakup with your current social media strategy. If you do the same thing, then you'll get what you've always got. If you want new results, it's time for a change. It's time to break up. You can't use that same old social media strategy that you used last year. When the algorithm changes, you have to learn how to adapt to. You have to understand how to feed the algorithm, what it wants so that the art buyers that you worked so damn hard to cultivate will actually see the content you're creating. Post and pray does not work. You can't just toss out, offers cold and expect to reel in the cash. That's like tossing out seeds on top of soil without first fertilizing it and nurturing the soil and learning. Expert tips from the farmer down the road. You have to nurture your audience, feed the algorithm and learn how to do both consistently. I promise it gets way easier when you follow a proven content plan. I'd love to help you get off the social media treadmill. After spending countless hours, creating social content and not seeing the results to match my efforts. I got fed the F up. With my chronic migraines, marginalizing the hours, I can actually function each day. I have been forced to create efficient systems to survive this art preneur journey. The results from these challenges have been marvelous. And I am so grateful that I get to share them with you now. That's how the Sell Art on social system was born. And wow, it's a game changer.
