Yikes, you guys…. today’s vid ain’t a pretty one, but it is necessary because I would hate to see you lovely folks get scammed when you’re trying to grow your Instagram with me during this series.

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of art sharing pages on IG that try to encourage you to use their hashtag or pay to have your artwork shown on their page to their hundreds of thousands of followers which can be a very effective marketing tool if they are legitimate. However, many of them are not and will be more than happy to take your money to show your art to basically no one.

Tune in today to learn how to tell the legitimate pages from the scammers, and make sure to subscribe on my YouTube because I’ve got two more vids coming out in this Instagram series that you would hate to miss!

Like I Promised…

Here are some pages I am sure are scams that you should steer clear of. This is by no means a comprehensive list and I wholeheartedly encourage you to do your own objective research before giving any art share pages your money or even wasting any of your precious 30 hashtags on them.
