Hi,
As the title suggests, I've been doing art for a long time. Illustration, graphic design, product design, painting, and so on. I've had other careers, but art has always stuck with me in some form, even as something to fall back on.
I'm a very private person as I have a serious case of social anxiety which has been with me for many years now. It makes marketing my services very difficult. I want people to know about my business, but the idea of having a personal online presence is horrifying to me. For that reason I have never used social media, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Obviously this limits my ability to feed myself, and well - do anything really. I've flirted with the idea though, perhaps under a pseudonym. I found this forum searching for how to market online, as I'm in need of good ideas for promoting a portrait painting service. I'm aware of influencer marketing, referral/commissions, but applying this to my niche as an artist with no name is... challenging.
Combine that with no resources to invest in advertising etc. I'm currently living on a diet of oatmeal and rice. I'm hoping to learn and grow with this community, as I prefer the more personal feel of forums over public networking based websites.
