ARTIST QUESTIONS
People do not like being sold to, but they like stories and seeing how things are made. Talk about the work first; the link comes naturally after.
Show the making
A sketch, a studio photo, a sound being built, a page being drawn. The process interests people and makes the final creation more precious.
Tell one story per creation
Where the idea came from, what it means to you, a detail people would miss. Two or three sentences are enough.
Post often, sell rarely
Most of your posts should share the work, a few should say « it's available ». On HYK, Jungle Raiddog posts news between his creations, and his originals find buyers from €25 to €215.
Then give the link, simply
When you say where to buy, say it once, clearly, with the price and how many copies exist.
Next step: Publish your first news on HYK at app.hyk.media. Then read the Storytelling and News guides.
