I started Obramaestra on Jan 17, 2025.
but then I slept on it and didn’t really continue after I lost interest.
1 year and 7 months later, I relaunched OM again on Aug 21, 2206.
This time with more energy and commitment.
the main task of course is to acquire users, specifically artists, to address the supply side.
i’m doing this through cold DMs on facebook and instagram.
sending DMs is easy but the main challenge is conversion.
out of 20 people I send DMs everyday, how many of them signs up and posts artworks?
it’s less than 1 month since I launched and I got 5 artists, 0 collectors.
I know. it’s not that easy to convert artists to sign up and post their artworks.
some of them are too busy.
some don’t even trust the platform.
and some would rather post their artworks on facebook and have it auctioned.
it pains to see them do this when Obramaestra is arguably better.
but my motivation is that maybe someday (just maybe), they’ll realize that Obramaestra is the better option for them to get discovered and promote their artworks.
