i feel like Instagram or any other platform doesn't help as much for recognition, are there any other ways to get recognized

  • I think the physical world can be the best place to get noticed. When you're physically in front of someone (or your work is) then it's difficult to ignore. Is there a way to share something more tangible with potential collaborators, commissioners, employers etc.?
  • Recognition on any platform will be rooted in engaging content.

    On some platforms posts seem to come and go very quickly.

    Whereas elsewhere they stay visible for a lot longer.

    Working in the visual world, I thought Instagram would be a good place to post.

    However, I found it to be so beautifully curated that there was no real problem to solve.

    A business networking platform may appear a bit dry, but may be the perfect opportunity to get recognition for doing something different.

    Alternatively, The Dots?
