How to use #GetWatchers to increase your audience and get more exposure on your art



Lately I have received comments from users who believe that GetWatchers doesn't work. The thing is if you follow the instructions GetWatchers works perfectly for everyone, not only popular or advanced artists. To make it easier to understand HOW this tool works I created a little visual walkthrough. I hope it's helpful for some of you!


Instructions

  • Visit getwatchers.deviantart.com
  • Follow the link provided on the GetWatchers group main page.
  • Submit your Artwork and click on "continue".
  • Open the Artworks Viewer.
  • Before you start go to your settings and add more artworks from your gallery that you want to be seen. Click on "Submit Artwork".
  • Save your settings and click "Open Artworks Viewer"
  • Now start hitting the green button to view an artwork and repeat that step!!!

  • Every time you clicked on the button your credits counter will go up by 0.7 points. You can view a new artwork every 5 seconds. If you have faved a work or added someone to your watch you can click on the red heart button underneath the green button right after that and you will receive extra gift credits ranging from 3 to 10 points.

    When you have collected a nice amount of credits just relax and wait! Within a short time period other GW members will be directed to your art. If you use the Artworks Viewer a lot you will receive notably more views, favs and comments on your art than before. So don‘t hesitate to get your GetWatchers account and try it out!

    FAQ
    What is GetWatchers ?

    GetWatchers is a tool based on the give and get principle that helps you to get more attention on your art and find new favourite artists. The tool makes it possible to get almost as much views on your art as you have given before on other people‘s art. For 10 views that you have given you will receive 7 views in return. If you have faved a work or added someone to your watch you can click on the red heart button and you even will receive extra gift credits ranging from 3 to 10 points.

    Please Note: it‘s not necessary to become a member of the DeviantART group of the same name!

    Isn't that cheating if you seek for attention that way?

    Every artwork needs a bit of advertising, even the very good ones. How will you get out your art to the community if you just sit and wait and don't do anything for it? If your visitors don't like your art they won't fav or comment anyway and go away. But if they do they will be happy to have found you via this awesome tool.

    What are the criteria for submissions?

    • Only finished artwork
    • Only high quality work
    • NO Pornographic Content
    • NO Extreme Violence & Horror

    How can I use the credits under "Total Credits Remaining (Not Used)"?

    The credits you have available will be attributed automatically by the system. If you have a large number of unused credits it's probably because you've seen a lot of artworks. Simply give it time, then, during the week, the credits will be used to give you views. Also, if you don't receive your views please check your url twice by clicking "Verify artwork" button.

    Are you allowed to 'give credits' to artists/friends? I think it would be a good thing to introduce.

    Moosplauze In reply to Lilyas [2011-12-27 13:23:39 +0000 UTC]

    I don't know, maybe I did something wrong...I only started using this tool today. In the GetWatchers Window I am not logged into my DA account. Is that normal? I tried logging in, didn't work (I changed my password right after...I am paranoid...). The workaround I found was to open the picture in a different tab and then commenting and faving it. Not sure if that is the way it is supposed to be or not. I am using Firefox, pretty sure I have the latest software updates.

    Lilyas In reply to Moosplauze [2011-12-27 15:10:13 +0000 UTC]

    Both sites are connected and to be able to comment and fav someones work while you are using GetWatchers you must be logged into DA.

    Moosplauze In reply to Lilyas [2011-12-27 15:40:38 +0000 UTC]

    Yeah, I did that, but I still won't be logged into DA on the getwatchers site.

    And when I'll see them?
