What should I do after getting 800+ website visits from unexpected media exposure but having almost no social media presence?

Those visits create awareness, but buying art requires people to know, like, and trust you—which takes time and repeated exposure. Focus immediately on two things: creating reels (aim for one per week to start) and growing your audience using a follow strategy (follow 10 relevant people daily). Make 50% of your content about who you are as a person, and 50% about your art—show works in progress, finished pieces, and the inspiration behind them. The goal is to build a social media presence so when people discover you, they can follow your journey and eventually become collectors.
