Sharing your social media isn’t just self-promotion.
It’s connection. It’s storytelling. It’s community-building. And science backs it up.
Psychology shows that familiarity breeds trust. The more often people see your work, the more likely they are to support it. This is called the mere exposure effect, and it works especially well in creative communities, where personal connection is often the bridge between browsing and buying.
Marketing research also shows that most buyers need to see something seven or more times before they make a purchase or follow. If you’re only posting in one space or hiding your handle like it’s a secret, you’re missing out on opportunities to grow.
Cross pollinating local communities, and sharing your art profiles in spaces where creative people already gather creates more visibility for everyone. It can turn your feed into a gallery, and your presence into inspiration.
One new local follower could be your next collaborator, or collector. You don’t have to be a marketing bro to get your work out there. You just have to show up.
