>>5156222Buying followers comes with a risk, i believe.
If people keep doing this, we might fuck up the game even more in the long run once actual people catch on to this.
It might be "good for you" but it will be bad for your image.
You show that your work isn't good by artificially inflating it and customers won't trust you.
>investing cash into promotion is goodDepends. If you're a beg, you should focus on getting to high int, then worry about getting relevant.
Even then, if you market yourself, you should have already thought of remaking that money you invested.
Promoting your art for "commissions" or "likes and follows", is the stupidest thing one can do.
If you have a product however, let's say you sell prints of your art or t-shirts with your art on it, it might be not be such a bad idea, but as i said, there are risks.
>>5156510Because it doesn't need to.
With nsfw, your followers will do all the marketing for you.
Nsfw work gets passed around like candy.
Just go on any of the adult boards, and see for yourself how many works from known nsfw artists you'll find.
Lurking threads, you're sure to find
>Sakimi>CuteSexyRobuttspretty regularly.
And other anons who post here, too.
If you're struggling to reach an audience as a pornfag, just post your work in the appropriate threads on those boards.
Don't do the whole
>"hiiiii gaise artist here just posting this unfinished sketch tell me if you like it teehe exdee">"blog? sauce?"Because they don't give a shit. They just want to expand their collection and jerk off and they can look for sauce themselves.
Don't forget to have your watermark/links on your work.
The rest depends on the quality of your work.
