I wanted to try a small experiment on XMRBazaar by putting two of my paintings up for sale.
After almost a month, the results are quite modest: one painting received 14 views, the other 21, and there was only one comment โ from someone who already knew me through Nostr.
Those numbers are significantly lower than what I normally see when I share my paintings on barattolo.store. Even the posts linking to paintings on my own website tend to get more views when I share them on Nostr.
I don't necessarily take this as a judgment on the paintings themselves. Rather, it seems like an interesting indication of how different platforms can have very different abilities to put your work in front of people who are actually interested in it.
In the end, that's what experiments are for: you try something, see what happens, and then decide where it's worth investing your time and energy.
For now, I'd say XMRBazaar didn't work as I had hoped.
But at least now I know. ๐
