Razor, I wasn't asking for your bank statements, lol. Nor was I trying to get personal info. None of my business. I simply asked what if any methods you've applied, thinking that maybe I could understand your reasoning a bit better if you had come back with some examples of methods you'd tried that haven't worked for you so you've soured towards them and that's influencing your opinion on the subject. Because you seem to think that entrepreneurial online marketing via social media is primarily a waste of time and energy (your words) and isn't an effective strategy for this particular brand of art-related marketing. That's the main part I don't understand. When it's all boiled down Poser content is really no different than marketing any other type of art online. And there are numerous examples - thousands even - of artists of all mediums marketing their work themselves using proven, time-tested strategies that have been highly successful. Of course for every success there are 10 failures but that doesn't mean the strategies don't work. I just can't see how Poser/DS could be so much different and I've been in this 3D content game for well over 10 years now. Even went to school for it, and yes marketing and psychology took up a good chunk of my courses. I can't claim 6 years of it because it wasn't the focus. I also spend a great deal of time listening to podcasts from other successful freelance artists who all basically say what I'm saying, though their work is usually more 2D related, in the end there is not much difference.
