Zero views on my ArtStation profile despite having a Pro subscription—any advice?

tanea

Hey everyone! I previously used ArtStation without a subscription and typically received over 100 views on my posts. I decided to try the Pro subscription for a month to see if it would enhance my visibility, but now my recent posts are getting zero to fewer than 10 views.

I haven’t posted in a few months—could that be affecting my visibility? I’m feeling a bit disappointed, as I expected the Pro subscription to provide better engagement. Any advice on what steps I can take to improve my visibility would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

any advice?

Advice: If one has the means, make their own "popular art site" do that boot all the nft people the a.i. scripts/bots and promoters.

reprimand your mods or anyone with powers to abuse users who frequent and actually apply themselves to the community at large that is dwindling. (as in check them for stalker like vibes against one individual.)

Here is a link on someones blog post that speaks about a similar situation perhaps collab. and discuss between each-other on a non modded locations where you can speak freely without someone else's bias as a form for communication control.

This is actual advice the only way to get what we want is to take out ("never make them mods/never prop them up") these kinds of people^ they are ruining sites and damn near everything with their own b.s.

All the best with it. on topic/ lil'more people have been saying this is to make a.i. stuff more "popular/seen", to get the kids into it so that the people who are thieves can come in and make money for doing absolutely nothing.  yes i consider anyone using any kind of a.i. a thief.

? I can't understand your post.

Anyhow. If you want engagement, then engage. Engage by posting content frequently, preferably with quality content. Engage with your content peers, give them quality feedback. Do this with intent and focus, and engagement will follow.

@tanea you can also try posting your work to other social media websites too (if you aren't already). A few months is a fairly long time to not post anything, not sure if even a pro status would help you there

Thank you all for the advice! I’ll start engaging more with others on the platform, and I’ll also share my work on other social media platforms to broaden my reach. I appreciate the tips and encouragement—looking forward to seeing how things improve!

Place a link to your Artstation page using the bottom of your post. We all have them. You can also get feedback on your work.

Hey there! First of all, don't be discouraged—you're absolutely not alone in feeling this way. It's great that you're taking the step to experiment with a Pro subscription and see how it affects your visibility but I don''t think its needed, it is however great for the tutorials and other features.

While it can be frustrating when things don't seem to improve right away, it's important to remember that growth and engagement on platforms like ArtStation can be built over time. Think of ArtStation as an end platform that all your vectors of dissemination point to. 

For example you post on Linkedin, Polycount, Discord, Unreal Forum, Twitter and so on, then mention if you would like to see more go check out this link    that's a natural way of build up views.

Also don't worry about views and likes. It's what's in your ArtStation when you apply for a job is what matters, no one is going to care about your view count or how many people like your artwork, they just want to see good work that is built in the correct way.

If you're looking for work there is definitely more benefit in posting on linkedin and highlighting an artstation portfolio among your connections than hoping for artists on artstation to come across your profile and add a like or comment.

In that sense it does help to have a more focused supporter base relevant to work opportunities around your art that can help in branding and that is far easier to acquire on linkedin over artstation. 

Personally I didn't find artstation pro to be all that useful, and with artstations approach to AI there's far too much rubbish on the site to make me feel as relevant as a human artist.
Still better than the cesspool that is x/twitter.
