Description
STEP WHATEVER: Be on MANY different sites with THE SAME username.I am not popular. Follow at your own risks. lol
Meant to make this a couple weeks back but too lazy to color. Still am. Hahah
Several of you guys have asked how I gained watchers. I did those things. Minus the fan-arts. I really don't like anything enough at this moment to fan-snail over. It gets people to notice you first then check out the rest of your original gallery.
My thoughts in the beginning were, if it takes a million artworks to reach a million watchers, then that's precisely what I am going to do. (My hand might fall off but that's what feet are for). I'm insecure. I want my watchers to stay because they like my original comics. Not because of the fan-arts.
But that's just me.I like treating each new watchers I get as if they were the first one. The only one who gave me a chance. The interaction keeps them coming back to your site.
Locking them in your basement out of desperation for validation from thousand strangers work too.Β
Lastly, well, this may only work for me, hahah I have extremely bad luck and a good sense of humor. Along came the tablet pen. Some talents. Voila. Comic strips happen.Β
My misery becomes your company.
In the end though, it's simply the joy of drawing what I love. By pure chance, Fate guides the other lost souls my way.

I've always admired how you respond to pretty much EVERYONE's comments on your work! It really gives us watchers a feeling of personal connection with you... and it helps build confidence for artists who wish they could be as dedicated as you (like meh)Β
Keep snailing on, oh mighty Snail Lord! o u o7

Ahaha I totally agree with the end, tbh It's how I feel everytime I finish a drawing, such a failure /sobs.Β
I'm far from being a DA famous or a good "artist" (Don't really like using this word because I'm not even an artist). but itΒ was nice to read, I totally agree with the "comment-back" thing, It's nice to have a comments from someone, or even a fav, they took time to look at what we do so looking back is the least we could do too /I thinkk/. I wish I could comment more too, but I'm an introvert even on the internet so /that's awkward I feel so awkward/.

Oh dear... Poor literature section

(I thought literature do get a lot of views too)

Nope, it just gets thrown to the front page because dA believes it's "fair"
π: 0 β©: 0
I believe I've seen some of your comics on the front page. Well, maybe not at the top, but not too far down. If that doesn't make you popualr, I don't know what does.
Even though I've been aware of most of the parts mentioned here for a good while, I fail to do any of them. And then I wonder why I don't have more watchers.

If you can get your work accepted by the uber-selective and quite frankly, pompous artsy-fartsy critics at Digital Artists, you're probably already popular here.Β Otherwise I'd recommend taking photos of boobs and give them classy titles; drawing ponies, and writing poetry consisting of less than three lines.Β Β Β
π: 0 β©: 1
lol boobs definitely always win the internet...
Naked girls too.
Naked fanarts...of girls....
or of two guys. lol Boy love.
But I'm not into those kind of attention hahah. Too easy. I like a challenge.

Heh, well you do give good tips here though.Β

DUDE...or duded(i am not sure) you haveΒ 89,729 PageviewsΒ 2,389 Watchers...that kinda alot....but tjen i guess its not all that big,but still that seems like alot.However i do like your steps,when you look at the more popular people on DA...these steps make total sence!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah I just noticed on many popular DA artists (Some are with god-like talent,Β
some are ok. However, they always have fan-arts of Death Notes or something popular lol)
One of my fav artists mentioned she gained her million page views by practically uploading
1000 drawings that year. 0_0
π: 0 β©: 1
Well it does make sence ,more uploads means more of your work on the reasently added page,witch means more people seeing you and if you are lucky one of those may be someone with a lot of fans,then they might give you a shout out or at least favΒ some of your work and i think you get how it goes on...
The power of fanart is scary...i bet that there might be someone out there is a little more popular then you...and he has uploaded only pony "OC" or "Fanart"
