PSA to artists that make YCHs
5 years ago
General
Dont post sale reminders every day, or worse multiple times a day.
I will unwatch you, and im sure others would too.
If a YCH isnt selling do something to promote it better, try a different website, tweet about it, make a journals. If its really struggling to sell maybe rethink or add to the pose, or adjust the pricing, people just arent interested?
Don't just spam your watchers inbox.
thanks.
PS i love yall <3

It’s not a rant or anything, just if you think about it and try to put yourself in the perspective of the one selling the YCH, that kinda makes sense why people do this x) You may disagree and that’s totally okay :D
Just if you think about why this happens x)
I want to watch and support these artists, even jump on a YCH or sale when a good YCH comes along. Or these are artists ive bought from in the past already, and want to support them further. But its a burden onto me to do so.
There is a submission/search category for YCHs but its a mess of actual sales, reminders and finished projects, as you sorta alluded to.
There are so many ways the could improve the website
As a returning customer ive already gotten the "sitting pretty" pose for all my characters, im looking for something /interesting/ from a YCH
They post all their reminders to a different account. That way, the reminders hit the front page and can grab a new audience, but don't annoy all their followers.
I like that approach.
Oddly enough, I had an artist who inboxed me about a week ago “Suggesting to look” at their art. I was not even watching this artist or were they watching me. The SB was $250 and no one bid on it. It was an instant block for me.
