RE: State of the Art in the Art & Artist Community
Your last sentence resonated with me:
I think we'll have to step back a bit and rethink the things we do and how we do them to keep the community more attractive again.
What "things" do you think need to be reworked, and how should they be done?
@tezzmax, how do you envision the community growing?

Lol.... Sincerely, it's going to be a lot of work but I personally would try my best start it. I would call it "Fishing", it would be more like going throw communities and tags that are ralated to art and artists to make friends and convince them to join the community but the major thing I feel could be an hindrance is power to leverage on because truly people won't want to stay in a community commited for long if they aren't sure of earning in some certain way.
Hi, dear friend.
It's definitely going to be a lot of work, I agree.
"Artist fishing" I like the image 🎣 👍
There are many fishing methods: trawling, net fishing, individual fishing. 🎣
How good are we at fishing?
If there's one image associated with fishing, it's attracting fish with "good bait" 🎣
How can we make fish really want to swim and breed in our pond?
What could be our best "bait" because there are so many types? 🎣
Since you know a lot of fish at the university, what do you suggest to attract them and make them feel committed?
P.S. Thanks for your metaphor, it helped me generate several lines of thought. 🎣
Firstly, I don't know how possible it is, I think it would be nice if every member and those joining later could join a voting trail that would be used strictly to help the community members grow, so even when we visit artists posts that are not a member yet, they could see that as a leverage and could become productive members and if we could also get a whale on the trail that would make the whole process more effective too.
They all can't win a contests but if they could at least get some sort of a community vote every now and then, I believe that could extend a sense of belonging.
As I met you, you didn't earn at WOX, you were ignored and you kept posting. Now you are suddenly more know you earn in WOX how come?
Why don't you reserve a part of your earnings for this community and promote it?
I sure would do if I could, I just had a lot I needed to attend to financially in the past couple of months. And what's your sincere suggestion on a way forward?
You didn't answer my question. Why did you keep posting in WOX, although they never showed any support?
If you did that there, why wouldn't anyone like to post in this community? Since that's what we are talking about.
You posted without being rewarded and kept posting. Would you have received rewards if I had never upvoted you? I doubt it.
So perhaps this community is good for that? Making art and artists visible without asking you to delegate all your SP or to give 10% of you rewards and being with likeminded people.
You better start powering up, The more you have the higher the reward will be and also is the vote you give.
As long love as hive makes me post, it was easier for me to also copy paste on steemit which I do not want to do anymore, so I take my time to create different art content for steemit exclusively.
Hi, @tezzmax,
Thank you for your contribution. Your post has been manually curated.

- Easily create accounts on Steem using JoinSteem
A honest answer, always good. I hope you will have more success now.
Thank you.
With WOX, there was hope for community votes which comes sometimes, I am just one person, incase you didn't know, lots of Artist left not just WOX but steemit when the community vote wasn't circulating anymore.
So, hope is the sales trick. As long as people hope they will stay, the same for the illusion of winning something, although many leave disappointed that they did not win once.
☹️
I hear you but I believe we could make more valuable.
You should really add a few more words since I have no clue what you mean. You said you kept posting with the hope you would receive that upvote sooner or later..well it'was a lot later.
It's a fact that people do a lot for empty promises. Look at loteries, ponzi schemes, contests where you receive 100% from the host who has 0 and there are many more "sales" tricks.
I assume you read the news that the boosting votes no longer will belong to a community? Not that it changes anything for you. Let's see if there will arise more communities with a topic like in the old days.
Goodnight!
