I have over 900 followers but they seem dormant and not engaged. How do I wake them up?

You need to give your followers something to engage with and clear actions to take. Post authentic, behind-the-scenes content showing your process, your face, your workspace, and your inspiration—not just catalog images. Video content (reels) posted consistently (3-4 times per week) is essential because it’s the most engaging format. Include calls-to-action: ask them to comment, share with friends, visit your website (link in bio), or tell you which piece they like best. People scroll quickly, so if you don’t tell them what to do next, they’ll just move on to the next post. Wake dormant followers by showing personality and giving them reasons to interact. Share stories about where your inspiration comes from, show works in progress, explain your techniques. Make them feel connected to you as a person and creator, not just a source of pretty pictures. Engagement comes from relationships, not just visibility.
