Best way to do commissions? 2020-03-27 22:19:15


Hey, there! I've recently opened commissions and I'm just wondering how I can promote it as best as I can? What do you guys do?


I'm not good enough to do those yet, but plenty of people will make an image or two demonstrating their menu of services/prices, and post those on all their social medias. Throw in some relevant hashtags to get attention. Make a News Post on your NG account here. If you follow these kinds of artists (Instagram, Twitter), look at how they do it.


This is my signature. It is a nice signature.

Post good art often. If you're on Twitter you can pin your Tweet and there might be commission art share threads so keep a look out. Some artists like to do 'Your character here' auctions to get sales. Doing some fanart or following a current trend might help promote your work.

That's a great idea! I did the pin tweet part. Whats a 'your character here' auction?

Ask ask ask ask ask ask and ask


really ask


don't forget that you need some art samples so that prospecting commissionners know what you can do

your current gallery is pretty much empty to people do not know what you can do


also, if you have alternate places where you post art, you can link to them in your newgrounds account
