How to build a community as an Artist and why it is a MUST?

Web3 is all about the community.

Artists must make a living from their art to have a normal life.

It is a long-term, hard, work-your-ass-off game.

And the only true way to build a community is:

• Tell your personal story, open up, and say to the world: this is me!
• Build a personal brand
• The community will be your reward!

Anything else is just short-term and childish.

Disagree?

Let's talk :)

So don't try to sell too hard; tell a story instead, and sales will magically start happening.

Dear Ivan,

Thank you for starting the new forum topic: Web3 is all about the community.

I couldn't agree more with your points. For artists, making a living from their art is essential for a normal life, and it requires long-term, hard work and dedication.

The only genuine way to build a community is by sharing your personal story, opening up, and presenting your true self to the world. By building a personal brand, the community becomes your reward.

Anything else is just short-term and superficial.

Disagree? Let’s discuss :)

Best,

Hey Ivan, I appreciate your perspective and you make some valid points about the importance of community building in Web3 and the value of artists sharing their personal stories. Building a personal brand and fostering community can indeed be rewarding.

Sharing your journey and building a personal brand can be powerful tools for connecting with others and fostering a supportive community around your art.

Personal ways to achieve success can vary widely. Some artists thrive by engaging deeply with their audience through social media, hosting live events, or collaborating with other creatives. Others may focus on creating impactful art that speaks for itself, letting their work resonate with viewers on a deeper level.

However, I believe there are diverse paths to success in the art world, each with its own merits. It's about finding authentic ways to connect with your audience and staying true to your artistic vision. It is also quite much about finding what works best for each artist's unique journey.

Let's continue this conversation and explore different paths to long-term success in the art world.

I couldn’t agree more—Web3 is inherently about community, and building that community starts with authenticity. Sharing your personal story and creating a genuine connection is the foundation for long-term success in this space.

Why Community Matters:

1️⃣ Human Connection: People don’t just buy art; they invest in the story, the journey, and the person behind it. Opening up and sharing "this is me" makes your art relatable and memorable.

2️⃣ Sustainability: A strong, engaged community provides consistent support and growth, helping artists navigate the ups and downs of their careers.

3️⃣ Collaboration and Support: Communities built on trust foster collaboration, feedback, and opportunities that might not arise otherwise.

The Role of Personal Branding:

• Clarity and Consistency: Your brand communicates who you are and what you stand for. It’s how people remember you and your work.
• Long-Term Investment: Building a brand isn’t about overnight success. It’s about creating something that lasts and evolves with you.

Why Short-Term Gains Don’t Work:

Quick wins might provide temporary excitement, but they rarely build the kind of loyal following that sustains a career. Authentic relationships and storytelling are what keep people invested in the long run.

That said, while hard work and personal storytelling are essential, balancing it with mental health and avoiding burnout is just as critical.

What’s your approach to balancing personal branding and community-building with the demands of creating art? Let’s exchange ideas! 😊
