- How to become a famous painter & how to sell art for high prices can all be achieved through one technique. The technique of harvesting the power of connectors. By understanding the principles behind social art epidemics you can use them in order to create a micro epidemic around your own art. The truth is that no matter how hard you try you will never be able to create an epidemic around your art if you don't find a way to connect with market mavens, sneezers and connectors.
In this video we explain the power of connectors and how they can influence your career in the positive as well as how and where to find those connectors. Selling art will never be easier when connectors are spreading the word around your art because word-of-mouth is still the number one marketing tactic in the visual arts.

* I always say you cannot make chicken salad out of chicken crap. You need great materials and resources to make great art. All links are affiliated which means you will have the best materials/resources one click away :)
Very informative and well made video... I like that theory... everyone’s connected to everyone - 5 steps away. You read a lot don’t you? :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts xx
Full watch from me, intriguing xx
You're welcome. Haha, Yes. I make sure I read at least an hour of non fiction on a daily basis (mostly art books or business books) I'm glad you notice. That motivates.
Thanks a lot. Enjoy your Sunday.
@@driesketels and you my dear xx
Ever thought about creating a social epidemic around your art?
Ps: For more in debt info around how you can create a social epidemic around your art I would suggest reading the tipping point of Malcolm Gladwell. You'll find a link in the description.
Yes. It's a treasure of a read. Totally enjoying your approach and communication style... very artistic 😉
Great points Dries. You have to always be aware on everything around you, and use any means necessary....!
Use any means necessary... Totally agree Sandy. Have a great start of the week.
You are correct and a lot of people don't want to believe this concept. No matter how great you think your art is, without knowing someone in the" know" so to speak, your art will only hang on your walls. It's also true more back in my day than now, you had to go to the places where artists were made. Like New York, L.A. Paris and places like these. You couldn't be in middle of nowhere hoping to get discovered. Now, we have the internet which make the world smaller, but you still need as you would say a connector. This is very true. Even after finding a connector, it still comes down to is your art good or different enough to be accepted. Great video.
I am constantly surprised of how much connections play a role in this world... it's insane. Well said William.
Hi Dries! Very excellent advice about selling art through connectors. Yes, the Malcolm Gladwell book is awesome!! We are all connected and networking is so key.
You've read the tipping point yourself Dena? That's awesome, loved it.
@@driesketels Yes, I have read it- I also recommend "Primal Branding" by Patrick Hanlon- an older book, but highly relevant. Has some overlap and also introduces some great themes and things to try
Yes, we are all connected 😊 thank you for sharing 😃🙏🏻
You're welcome Katherine. :)
I think you are talking about the theory based on “Six Degrees of Separation”, which absolutely fascinates me! Thanks for another terrific video! So sorry to hear about your pets. I have several pets from parrots to an English bulldog, which I highly recommend as a best friend. As always, Much Love and Respect from North Carolina, Stacy
Yep Stacey, that's the theory indeed. Parrots, that sounds super cool. One of my neighbors walks around with a parrot on her shoulder on the streets. I always think she looks so cool with her parrot on her shoulder.
That's so true, not just as an artist but for all other careers - having those powerful connectors/advocates are so important, I learned a similar concept when I took an interpersonal skills course recently. Very thoughtful concept.
Totally agree Evellial. And the interpersonal skills course sounds very cool. Something a lot of artists could benefit from. Have a nice day.
I begin to see the world anew. Thank you. Time to reach out to the social connectors I know.
To see the world anew... we're always adjusting our believes and opinions, that's how we grow as artists. Enjoy your weekend Jawara
Dries Ketels as with you brother.
great video and theory
Omg that hair … iam officially jealous 😢😅
Thank you
Thank you for the chat bro. It really feels like you're talking to me.
👍nice video
Thank you
Finally someone speaking concrete facts, not like this generic advice like "I just went viral" or "imporove enough and then people will buy your art" or "just put it on Instagram and wait". None of these works by the way. This was an informative video.
Soooo helpful thank you!!!
You're welcome.
