Soul Doubt

Get it soul doubt, like sold out. LOL.


Okay serious time now.

I sure that most of you know that I sometimes draw, I also sometimes upload that to DA. I always hear people say, market your stuff. Do this and you'll get more viewer or watches. Put it out where people can see it. This is where I have a problem, a guy I watch, decent artist. His picture, last time I check had maybe 300 views it's now at 1,138. He made this 4 days after my Trixie picture. I have 188 views on that picture. Which I''m darn proud of. The biggest difference between the 2 pictures is the groups. I have mine in 2 groups. His is in 33 groups. I can't assume that all of those groups asked him for that picture in their gallery. I had one group ask me for it and the other I submitted myself.

Now we get to the sell out type thing. I guess I can't really call it selling out, but if I want views I'd have to submit to a ton of groups. This is something I won't do. If I got to every brony group and submit, I might get views, favs and watches, but they'd feel fake. I'm kinda torn, I much prefer when groups ask me for my picture, it makes me feel good. Last time a group asked me was about 6 months ago. So to me submitting to every group available is like selling out, but it's really not. My brain won't let me submit my stuff to random groups. It just feels wrong, like I'm begging for attention if I do this. I want my pictures to blow up viva word of mouth. Person A see's it and send it to forum A. Forum A enjoys it and blah blah blah. I'll feel like I actually did something, then just having it sit in a group.
