I'm trying to expand my business but nothing working?

[RebeccaC]

I'm trying to start my own Business but havnt had any luck for the past year. Over a year I got a total of 3 commissions making 120$ in total. I 3D resin print models and paint them. I would like to publish videos of my painting in speed painting hit I don't have any of the equitment or money to do that. So I use TikTok and Insta to try to share my art. Recently my videos on TikTok have been getting only 0-15 views when at one point would get avg 300 views. My insta is riddled with hundreds of bot account. I just don't know what to do anymore, I really want my own business of this stuff but I have no idea how to do it when all the algorithms are just shutting me out.

TikTok isn't for business... personally I loathe the site anyway like if it's was watch TikTok for a day or cut off a thumb then pass me the cleaver

Instagram can be good, I know plenty use it effectively

My business grosses over 100k a year at 10% profit of which half is mine and I work solely on word of mouth and business cards

Best idea for you is maybe make something popular on scale say 10 units at a time and sell those but advertise the custom stuff and charge a premium case by case

Insta is just full of bots. Every time I make a new profile for my art it gets flooded by bots so I just get stuck. It'd hard to even sell stuff u can mass produce.

Sounds unviable to continue, liquidate any business assets and carry on with working for a living

Business is hard I do 70 hours a week, I've been in hospital because of my heart and I still worked from my bed

Algorithms usually have a pattern, study the algorithm of that site and try to move with it, I'd say start by posting something everyday
