[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 375297, member: 9240"] FYI, I've gotten more likes, comments and follows from people I have absolutely no connection to on Instagram than anywhere else. If you want to get your stuff [I]seen[/I] then I highly recommend getting on there and hashtagging posts appropriately. Facebook is great for promoting localized businesses, and for getting people to share your stuff, but I've gotten very little traction from it as their recommendation engine seems to rely on you paying them to boost posts. So it feels like I'm whoring my friends to get them to help with it by sharing posts. I'm finding that you get what you put in, and if you're willing to blog and post links to it on FB and Twitter that it helps as well. It's as if you need to be something [I]more[/I] than just a photographer to garner real attention - you need to be a story teller, reviewer and/or teacher. Figure out what plays well that you're comfortable with and go with it. [/QUOTE]
