Optimizing Your Profile for Maximum Visibility

Tips to Boost Your Profile and Reach More Collectors

Lets focus on how to optimize your profile on Peggy to increase visibility and reach as many collectors as possible. Peggy does its part in showcasing artworks to collectors, but artist engagement plays a significant role too. Here are some key tips to help you make the most of your Peggy profile:

1. Link Your Peggy Profile to Social Media
One of the best ways to drive visibility for your work is to connect your Peggy artist profile to your social media channels, such as your personal website, Instagram, or LinkedIn. Linking your profile can introduce a wider audience to your art on Peggy, where they can explore your portfolio in full.

To link your Peggy profile, follow these steps:

  • Open the Peggy app.
  • Go to your profile.
  • Click the three dots menu in the upper right corner.
  • Select “Copy Link” or share it directly with your network.  

Each shared link includes your unique artist invite code, which helps build your following on Peggy by automatically adding new followers when they join Peggy through your link. Each new follower will receive future notifications whenever there is activity on your profile, such as when you publish a new piece or when an artwork receives a bid. This keeps your audience updated and engaged with your work, increasing their chances of becoming collectors.

2. Spread Out Artwork Publishing
Instead of publishing multiple artworks at once, consider spacing out your posts over time. For example, rather than posting five pieces in a single day, publish one and keep the remaining four in draft mode, releasing them gradually throughout the week. This keeps your profile active and your artwork visible to collectors over time, increasing your exposure with each release.

3. Organize Your Work with Pegboards
The Pegboard feature, similar to a Pinterest board, allows you to group your artwork by theme, exhibition, or medium. For example, if you're preparing for an art fair, you can create a Pegboard specifically for the pieces you’ll be showcasing. Pegboards are great for sharing curated sets of your work, and each Pegboard has its own link, making it easy to share with collectors or on social media.

Look for the bookmark icon to pegboard artworks

4. Update Artwork Asking Prices
If you publish artwork but haven’t set an asking price, you can set it later to re-surface your artwork at the top of the activity feed. This feature helps keep your work visible and provides collectors an opportunity to view pieces they may have missed.

By actively engaging with these features, you’re making it easier for collectors to discover your art and deepen their connection to your story. Try out these tips and see how they can enhance your Peggy experience and expand your reach!
