Promote your ArtStation Profile

Share your ArtStation profile on your social media accounts, personal website, or blog. Add a link to your ArtStation profile in your email signature and include it in your online portfolios. This cross-promotion can help drive traffic to your ArtStation page and increase views.

Artworks Analytics

On ArtStation Analytics (projects page) you can find statistics on views, likes and comments of all your artworks.

I suggest you get yourself a separate spreadsheet where you keep separate stats for each job from month to month. This way you will understand which works increase in views, which ones get more comments over time, and which ones everyone forgets about.

Participate in ArtStation challenges

ArtStation frequently hosts challenges on various themes. Participating in these challenges can expose your artwork to a wider audience and potentially increase views. Be sure to tag your artwork appropriately and engage with other artists participating in the challenge.

Share your Artwork on Social Media

Utilize social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook to share your ArtStation artwork. Create visually appealing and engaging posts that feature a snippet of your artwork and provide a link to your ArtStation page. Encourage your followers to visit your ArtStation profile for the full artwork.

Share your process. WIP images can engage viewers who might return to see the final piece.
