GUIDE TO NEWBIE DEVIANTS: HOW TO GET POPOULAR FAST

=Akikorossella:iconAkikorossella: reports, July 5
GUIDE TO NEWBIE DEVIANTS: HOW TO GET POPOULAR FAST

Hello everyone, I’m writing this guide for people who aren’t expert of DA and need some help to increase their popoularity here.
1) First of all. READ THE RULES. You have to know carefully the guidelines of this site, so that you won’t be banned or similar. There you’ll find also all the informations about avatars, icons, emoticons, moods, links, html, css, journals, subscription,polls, prints, etc…This way you won’t bother other deviants with stupid questions (though I’m glad to answer to those questions).
2) BE POLITE. Always answer to people who comment your stuff, even if it’s a simple “thank you”.
3) Watch back everyone who watches you, so that you’ll creat a relationship with them. This will help also to get more comment and favs and to enlarge your watchers list.
4) Do not bother famous deviants, THEY WON’T REPLY BACK. They’re too busy. They won’t even read your comments, so don’t expect an answer and don’t get mad at them. They won’t comment back, or teach you how to draw/color, or do your tags.They won’t accept requests. They won’t become your friend, you will never have their msn. Don’t stalk them. For “famous” I mean over 100,000-500,000 pageviews.
5) Fav EVERYTHING that you like, even if you have to fave a billion of deviations. This will increase your pageviews.
6) Write always in ENGLISH, even in your own journal, especially in your deviation description: everyone will understand. It’s unpolite to write in a public journal in a language only 2 people will understand! Force yourself to learn english.
7) COMMENT a lot, everyday, the most you can. Comment also the work of non-famous artists, and ALWAYS your watchers’ stuff.
8) Comment also on forums, journals,news, chat.
9) Welcome warmly the new deviants, that you find in the “Today” page. They will be glad of this and you’ll find new awsome friends^^
10) Give constuctive critics. Do not say only a mere “beautiful” “kawaii” etc,but try to describe your emotions and impressions while looking at the work. If you don’t like it, don’t offend saying “I don’t like it” or “it’s ugly”, comment and say what you think it can be improved.
11) Always read other people journal.
12) Join every contest you can handle, and make your own contest.
13) Always use the tutorials you find searching on DA, they’re very helpful to improve quickly. Also look deeply to the deviations you like the most, you will learn the tecnique.
14) Log in everyday.
15) Browse often the different categories, even the ones you are not interested in: you will always discover new things.
16) Do art trades, collaborations, free sketches, requests, and draw gifts for friends and artists you like. Colour the other deviants’ linearts (with proper credits).
17) NEVER post images you didn’t draw by yourself unless written acceptance, most of all if found on internet or DA.
18) Draw fanart, especially popoular characters.
19) Join a lot of clubs and partecipate to their activity.
20) Watch everyone you find nice, most of the time they’ll watch you back.
21) Get a subscription: this will make things easier.
22) ALWAYS go to the people who faved or watched your main page and thank for it, until they become too much to thank individually :D
23) Use the “search art” botton to search for topics you like, you’ll find a lot of people with your same interests.
24) Organize well your gallery, feauturing only good works. Use also your scraps.
25) Make your main page look pretty, using the webcam, desktop, main deviation and the newest journal space.
26) Update often your gallery and journal, but not too much or you’ll spam your watchers’message box.
27) Choose a beautiful avatar: you can find a lot of free pixel art made by great artist like angelishi [link]
28) Use an attractive signature.
29) Remember: this site is a community. Unless you are a super-talented artist, to get famous you have to interact with other people. This means also that you can’t only receive, you have to give too to others. For exemple, saying happy birthday, concerning about illness, losses or sad moments, helping with problems, giving advices, being kind and polite, making favours…
30) But most of all, DO NOT CARE ABOUT PAGEVIEWS. You are an artist, this has to be enough to make you happy. *hug*

I'm kinda confused. On minute you're telling people how to get popular, the next you say it doesn't matter? I mean, there's some good newbie tips in here, but what is the point of this article?

I'm talking to people who want to get famous. If they read it's because they want more pageviews. But I want also them to know that if they don't succed, it's not the end of the world, they have still their art.
