What type of content should I post on social media as an artist? I feel like I need special reasons to post.

You don’t need special reasons or events to post—simply living and existing is reason enough. Look at anyone’s social media: people find ways to post about anything. Having your morning coffee? Take a photo of your hand holding the cup with a nice view in the background—that’s cozy content many people relate to. Got a new greenhouse? Film yourself working with plants—botanical content is hugely popular right now because people are seeking connection with nature (there’s even a trending phrase ‘touch grass’ meaning to relax and reconnect). Show your studio, your process, your day. The key is consistency and authenticity, not waiting for momentous occasions. Behind-the-scenes glimpses of ordinary creative life resonate strongly with audiences.
