RE: State of the Art in the Art & Artist Community
Firstly, I would love thank you for taking your time to put this together, in as much as we want this community to grow, we also do not want it to grow into lawlessness, I know some people would come for a while and leave after sometime but I'm sure the right people would come and would eventually stay.
I want to say a very big thank you to @wakeupkitty, she has done so well and she's currently doing fantastic at keeping the community alive and personally I really do appreciate that.
I think we'll just have to step back a bit and make a reformation on things to do and how to do them in order to keep the community more engaging again. I'm sure we'll grow!
Your last sentence resonated with me:
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.
- Delegate to @ecosynthesizer and vote @symbionts as a witness to support us.
- Explore Steem using our Steem Blockchain Explorer
- 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.

What is the step back about?
I continue the way I do and I am happy @almaguer joins. Your two friends disappeared and one made clear he can't handle the stress. I am not going to beg to post in this community. Same counts for my Tales & Stories and SCB Monkey Business. They all stand for a topic and if those who suggested it and were enthusiastic and active only at the start, so be it.
If no one posts the community isn't visible and Steem Curators don't care about art in average or all upvote in the same (home) communities. This is a fact. With you I agree that this community isn't started to simply accept every post and make it look like any other.
BTW I did notice that many artists do post on the same day.
Post on the same day in our community or generally on steemit?
I don't know about entire Steemit, it's hard to tell but I noticed it happens here if I upvote. So it can be that if not much time is left, or one feels down, it's in general half way or at the end of the week people all post which I don't find abnormal.
Well, I'm sure it's a coincidence.
