How often should I post reels on social media to grow my art business?

Aim for 3-4 reels per week at minimum. Consistency is crucial because you’re competing for attention among millions of artists and accounts. Video content (reels, short-form video) is the most engaging format and drives the best results on social platforms. Think of it like repetitive advertising—when you see the same billboard on your commute every day for years, you eventually learn the brand name and it becomes familiar. The same principle applies to your social media presence. Regular posting keeps you visible, helps the algorithm understand and promote your content, and builds familiarity and trust with your audience. Gaps of more than a few days between posts cause momentum loss. Combine this frequency with authentic personality, behind-the-scenes content, and clear calls-to-action for maximum impact.
