I understood that Dribbble works best for you in terms of client work. Can you expand on this subject a bit? How do you get successful on Dribbble, any hidden tips besides being consistent about sharing your work?
I’ve been an active member since 2012 and I am always posting new works almost weekly since then. It was a big opportunity since not all designers got access to this site due to the need of ‘invites’. Over the years I had created a proper amount of followers and that only kept growing over time. I think the main important thing is to know why you are posting on this platform.
To me, it always was helpful since I kept on asking for feedback on each and every publication. I actually dislike designers who just put their works out there and expect only positive responses. You need to know that this is a learning platform too, so interaction is crucial. It also helps to know what timing for a post works best for you (think of the type of followers, where they are from, get to know the time they may be active or not). Also it works to explain your concepts and create interesting and informational shots so they may stand out a little more.
I don’t know real secrets on how to use Dribbble better than I do already but it always depends on how the people like your work.
Be kind to people and open yourself up for critiques. Don’t use this platform to fill up your portfolio, instead try giving context and strive to actually interact so you can benefit from posting these works too. Over time you will grow, and will soon receive possibly client work.
