I use social media for information only. I do have links to my Art work, and my Music Productions. I use my profile as a card. I add links, and what I do. Afterwards I just read posts, and answer them. I'm busy. I follow what I want to see. I also search for what I want to see. I don't have notifications on, because I want to read when I want to. I'm in control.

Biggest concern for artists using social media is THEFT and plagiarism. We've known a few gifted people who naively shared their work in order to generate interest and buyers. Only to see their ideas being copied all over social media. The takeaway is to first establish yourself away from social media. Then gradually use social media to advertise and nothing more. Thank you for this very honest and helpful flow.

Social Media was made to make you create a distorted image of yourself in your mind, wich you end up believing exist. It's fucking psychological terrorism!

2:11 yup setting this dumb phone down now to go play with my dog and chill instead of looking for motivation on RUclips. Good on you for making this cheers.

Complaining about social media, while being on social media.

I always dreamed of working with animals when i was younger but i am bad at the chemistry stuff so i applied for art school instead and got in. So now i am a graphic designer and artist which i of course also love. But my interest in animals never faded. I just draw them now instead of operating on them 😂

I work at tech. But still create art and trying to do it on a daily basis. 😊

Thanks for the video! Very useful in these times!

Your content is amazing erin keep it coming 💪💪❤️ you are absolutely awesome 🌹🌹

EPIC! Keep killing it

This video found me and it resonated with me. I started to challenge my overthinking and it’s so freeing!

I wish my creativity/recording room was even half as well put together as yours. mine has "i took the doors off my closet so i could fit an old organ i got for free in it, even though i rent" type energy. also i dig the spiders. i dont keep any of my own, but i am heavily emotionally invested in the lives of the spiders that live in my mailbox and windows.

Looks like a great place Erin, with a wonderful view (as far as I can tell, but I am guessing you can see some plants from your window?). I live in the city and really miss the trees they removed around my house a couple of years ago. Thanks for sharing. It's inspiring me to get rid of some stuff in my own art studio.

Inktrash, how can anybody ruin their body like that, tattoo´s are so off putting 🤢🤮

ciao! I really enjoyed the video, I'm watching several on this topic these days. since ig started changing (few years ago) I've had even more difficulty keeping up with my mental health. I was also convinced that I had to become a content creator but the reality is that I HATE Instagram and have no interest in sharing my whole life there… I will try to use the app only to share new works to keep the profile as a portfolio. although every time I publish, seeing that there is no engagement makes me sad and I would prefer not to have to use it anymore. I'm torn :/

When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

so nice of youtube to reco me this gem in a time where I am so lost as a creative

Holy shit that looks sick, you paint so nicely :0

Well communicated Erin. Our tribe 'find us' (if we want to connect) when we are truly ourselves (warts & wonder). If we are trying to be something other than 'what we are', we end up attracting like for like and become unhappy and overburdened. You are on the right track my friend. Enjoy your authenticity and the love that she brings x

I've thought about this a lot too! We only have the time we have so why not have fun? Thank you for the video💜😁

Thank you so much for posting this! This is something that I've been struggling with. I've delayed posting a lot my abstract photography and allowing fear to prevent myself from making videos. Hearing this from others makes me feel a lot better about posting what I want and allowing myself more freedom to be who I am and expressing that through my art on social media. Thank you so much Erin!

cool tkskskskskkssss !!

RUclips just threw this video my way in the home feed, so happy they did :) Great video, subbed and looking forward to more :)

Great point. Subscribed and glad to see where the journey takes you.

I think RUclips as a platform is unique (compared to 'fast-food' social platforms) in that its community wants to get to know the person behind the content. I think it's important not to get caught up with SOCIAL MEDIA TIPS AND TRICKS and stuff, and just create human content for humans! Keep it up Erin :D

you can uncheck a box when you upload to have your videos not shown to your regular viewers first. "Publish to subscriptions feed and notify subscribers". It can possibly broaden the video's scope if it's not like your regular stuff. It can also make things not get pushed at all. I agree that long-term the trick is to have the audience want to relate to the creator (brand). Weird to think about all the time, makes me feel less authentic ;)

the "proper" name for the thing you hit in badminton is a shuttlecock. i accidentally learned this a few years ago and now all of you are cursed with this knowledge.

It is important to be expansive in your interests as well as brave to share your happiness with the world. 🎉

One of your earlier posts on YT about this kinda stuff is why I now follow you on instagram. As an artist who has struggled with”being a niche of 1” since high school it’s really demoralizing to see what becomes popular on social media. I am too neurodivergent to ever hope to achieve mainstream acceptance - which in a way makes it easier, other times it’s demoralizing. We have made this so much worse with the onset of influencer and toxic productivity / side-hustle culture. But I’ve also noticed there’s been an uptick in demand for wholesome, genuine and authentic human - types of content since COVID, and you are part of that movement in a better direction. The online artist “niche” is now so over saturated and overpopulated, it’s almost like the old fashioned way of very slowly building connection 1 person at a time is all that remains, because its actual work with no formulas or viral shortcuts to be had. At the end of the day art is about finding and connecting with your tribe, your “Others from another mother” and some of those tribes are small, but very healthy and rewarding in other ways. 🩶

I think I'm always being my authentic self in my videos. I chose to be an artist as an occupation when I was 7 years old. Now that I know how to edit videos, I'm working on improving the quality of my videos. I think they are getting better as I upgrade my equipment. I like your videos too. I think you produce good quality videos and they are edited well. I don't follow many artists, but there is something very special about you. Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see what you post next. (?) -Atlanta, Georgia USA

Most of the problem for artists are yeah exactly what you said, catching up algorithm and stuff, but i cant blame them,,, but at the same time, its important to work on something that is authentic, that represent just you and be yourself. But the down side, is prolly less commission and traction, you know the drill

"Building an audience" Is the best way to fail in my opinion... open your own studio in your city and you will see the difference between IRL business and "drop-of-water-in-the-ocean internet superstar" path... With AI, "Content creation" on the internet is probably the last thing I'd work on as an artist (I'm one too) It's the modern scam... "Build your audience! Social media! Spend 90% of your time wasting it on different platforms and only 10% actually painting and you will succeed! And if you don't, it's your fault!" Really, I think people should realize it's not them the problem... but all of these "promises" on platforms... Their goal is to make -you- spend the most time possible on the platforms, pushing the hope to help you grow your business. Their goal isn't to help you grow your business. Pretty sure you can do it better from your skills than trusting the platforms to do it for you!

Great!

Breath work is key for sure. If you’re truly focused on the rising and falling of it, you really can’t think of anything else!

Meditation is my saving grace! Great post & Congrats of 2 yrs. :) !!

What a wise woman at such a young age. Thank you❤

Watching this after my instagram took down a lewd anime drawing I worked on

Interesting! I work in data analytics and very much enjoy my work but I really love to produce music and write. I often feel like I should choose between them but am becoming more comfortable integrating both.

I'd love to hear what you do!

I created a 30-Day Mindful Mornings challenge for you to download for free 🥰 This is a great way to get into a more mindful morning routine! www.erinisabella.co/shop-digital-products/p/30-day-mindful-mornings-challenge

Thank you VERY much for this.
