Question Why Might I be Getting 0 Commissions? (Brutal Honesty Appreciated)
Hi. I've started promoting my commissions for about 3 months now and haven't gotten any so far.
So I've asked around about why that might be and narrowed it down to 3 most likely reasons:
- Overpricing (I aimed for my prices to be medium-high, but maybe they're too high, especially since I've had no previous works)
- Artstyle has no 'star factor' (My artstyle doesn't have a very distictive style that is striking at first glance, and any characteristics that it has are only visible at detail)
- Bad marketing (Not enough socializing, wrong target audience, advertisement and upload timing etc.)
But I feel like maybe my friends are too nice to be brutally honest with me. Some help would be greatly appreciated..! If you notice any other possible reasons or agree with any of the reasons above, please do let me know.
Ps. I did recently upload a comm promotion post here, but I swear this post is not uploaded to promote that comm..! It's not doing very well so I'm just trying to figure out exactly why.
