How do I choose the right niches and hashtags for my specific artwork?

Think creatively beyond obvious category labels. Each piece of artwork can belong to multiple niches. For example, a collage might relate to pop art, graffiti art, 70s art, 80s art, or even specific objects within it like vintage cars. Landscape photography could be searched by location (Arizona, Colorado), natural elements (trees, cactuses, flowers, sand), or mood. Avoid only searching broad terms like ‘landscape’ because you’ll just find other landscape photographers. Instead, think about what specific interests, aesthetics, or subjects your work appeals to, and search those hashtags to find genuinely interested potential collectors rather than just other artists in your category.
