As an artist, you may think that Instagram is the only social media platform worth your time. It’s aesthetically focused, fosters niche communities and offers users a lot of creative inspiration. In a nutshell, it’s an artist’s haven. But Facebook, when used right, can be an effective marketing tool to promote your brand and artwork.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skeptical? Understandable. Facebook is notorious for updating its algorithms, making it harder for small business pages to reach a viable audience.

When people go onto Facebook, they’re usually there to watch a funny dog video, share a few memes and keep up to date with friends and family. That’s why it’s important you remain authentic, showing your personality whilst still being on brand. Ultimately, you want to come across as a familiar, friendly face, not a corporate, faceless entity. Look at how FatCartArt combines her art with humour to engage her audience.
