Ben Eblen is a software developer turned artist. He transitioned from programming as a day job to making a full time living as an artist and art teacher. He spent most of his 20's working in tech doing art on the side and building an instagram following. Over two years, Ben's following rocketed to 200k+ on instagram using a lot of the same strategies he was learning working in tech to building an audience. Things like using time on post as a marker for the instagram algorithm, and capitalizing on that by making his images of lost of text on them so people stay and read and as a result boosting the "engagement" on the backend of instagram.
