What is up guys and welcome back to the John and Hugh channel before we start this video guys Would you please like this video? It would help me in the algorithm of YouTube to get this video out there and it would just help me out of time Because you guys follow me. We're almost at 800,000 subscribers. I can't get to a million and at the end of this year Potentially maybe I think we could get there I think we can get there. I didn't know if I was gonna make this video But I felt like I should because a lot of people have been commenting on What I do on YouTube also if you don't know what I do I'm Johnny, Q. I make videos and primarily so far I've been doing a lot of spin art videos for right now That's primarily what I do but there was one comment that caught me off guard and honestly is probably a good Topic to talk about and a good discussion to have I'm gonna read you this comment And I want you guys to maybe think about it and and see what you guys think let me know down below in the comments Outrespect for his attitude and perseverance towards negative comments like that I can tell how this is a form of art But as an artist myself I will say this it is beyond frustrating that the art I do Consisting of pet portraits are acrylic and watercolor and graphite and line pieces Take so much longer than this yet continues to be hard to sell it for the price It's worth part of me saying that is complete and utter jealousy of my side because I know that at the end of the day He's a really smart guy because he's doing something he loves while adopting while adapting and creating art that people Want to buy it just sucks for us traditional artists who don't have the means to do digital art and don't want to do this kind of stuff That comment was on my video haters tell me to stop making spinner I wasn't mad about that comments and I wasn't Upset or offended that don't think the point of that comment was to offend me or upset me But he's kind of the thing that I Have thoughts about what people see is Johnny Q make spin art and he sends pieces out to people that buy Said spinner now what people don't see is a ton of work I have put behind the spin art business not the making of spin art because that's the easy part It's the entire process after making that spin art and after selling even pre it's a lot of work to try to sell these pieces And it's a lot of work to prep these pieces and ship them out to people all over the world in that Common section of that initial comment there are a lot of good points a lot of people saying that what I do is trash And what I do is child art that's totally fine and valid that's their opinion There's other people on the other side of that comment section saying that what I've done is I Branded myself in a positive way where people want to buy stuff from me because of the video experience I give them and to the traditional artists may not like that because they pour hours into their craft But when I do something that takes several minutes and I can sell it for X amount of dollars that might be deemed as not as creative and not as Traditional art or not even art itself and not even art at all But here's the thing when it comes to creating something whatever it may be But it really depends on how you market your stuff Maybe I'll do a separate video on just marketing and branding But what I do think I do well is branding and marketing of what I do onto the internet and that's why I can sell Thousands of pieces a year it may not be the most ideal for other artists Maybe you're really bad at branding, but you're really good at being an artist. That's totally fine You need to find your own way your own medium of trying to sell these pieces the pieces that you make the art that you create I could seriously talk about this for hours and hours because I have so many thoughts about branding and marketing products that you make But that's for a separate video, but overall I think that comment section is on point even people don't like what I do Even if people are saying what I do is childish it all comes down to how you present yourself and what you create I think because my marketing and branding skills and the way that I presented myself on TikTok Instagram and YouTube People have been wanting to buy my pieces. So Shion this video isn't really to Dog on your comments or what you do I would just say focus on how you can present yourself a lot better on social media And at the end of the day if I'm happy with what I'm doing I don't care with that and if people don't like it That's totally fine if people do like it. That's totally fine To be creative find a way to market yourself and what you do so that people take interest and buy into you Not really your art pieces. You may be talented, but people want to buy into you That's good advice. Maybe I'll make another video on all of that I do want to hear from you guys. Let me know what you guys think in the comments below I can't wait to read them all to Dicea. Thanks for stopping by. Love you all. Adios
