Followers and Likes in the Pigment Gallery
It’s far too simple to view having loads of followers and likes as some sort of popularity competition or akin to levelling up in a game as your numbers increase. The truth is, in the Pigment Gallery, we favour considering the Follower Feature and Like Button as tools for building relationships. This means that how and why you gain followers is more significant than your actual number count.
If you're keen to attract more followers, your top tactic is to simply be your brilliant self—allow individuals to follow and like your posts because they appreciate your art and respect you. This might take longer than requesting everyone to like your posts or to follow you, but rather than pointless numbers, you'll establish quality relationships with people who genuinely admire you and your artwork. We reckon that's worth it!
If people follow you, let it be because they appreciate your work and wish to see more. Let it be because you are amiable, respectful, and supportive and they wish to keep in contact with you. Let it be because you are helpful and share your knowledge or designs. Let it be because you regularly post and interact positively with others. Let it be because the Gallery is better off with your presence.
The core values of the Pigment Gallery are: kindness, creativity, and community. Gaining followers and likes because you radiate these values is how you TRIUMPH at Pigment.
Following Others in the Gallery and Liking Posts
The Follow Feature enables you to keep tabs on your favourite Pigmenteers and lets you know that someone is interested in seeing when you post something new. The Like Button allows people to know that their artwork is admired and is a means to encourage others to continue creating.
Follow individuals and give posts a like because:
- You love their art or designs
- Their work inspires you
- They utilise techniques you admire and want to learn.
- They are new in the Gallery and you want to be supportive.
- They are friendly and encouraging towards you.
- They have similar interests/utilise similar themes in their work
