This is why Ive always been a hobby artist that sells online with no deadlines...been selling on eBay and Etsy for years and have made good side $$ stress free
@@Diarrheagod hey primarily originals and will charge more $$ obviously depending on the size..hours spent materials etc ive had people from overseas Canada Bahamas buy some of my stuff..usually because they connected with the subject matter in some way...I really need to get prints done been really lazy about this for years unfortunately because I could've had alot more in passive income..my main problem is motivation which has really prevented me from being a FT artist
@@psalmsurfer1 yeah but Atleast you’re out there selling your work! The fact that you made something and someone else wanted it and paid you for it, is pretty awesome in itself!
I agree and you should stick to your price. NEVER reduce because it insults your current collectors to reduce their investment in your art. It should INCREASE. What say you, my art friend?
You said it. Over time and an increase in recognition. As you increase your brand. Every existing collector likes to see the support in your development@@driesketels
You just gained a new sub. I've worked in many industries, even the military, but I've always dreamed of selling my art online (and publishing my novels). I recently had to leave a job due to terrible management and it just had me thinking about how I need to start taking my art more seriously. Not just as a means to get out of working for someone else but because I enjoy making and sharing art! It's a massive passion of mine and should stop sleeping on it. I'm 32 years old and don't plan on giving up despite the few setbacks I've had. Your video is beneficial and I love your energy. Thank you for what you do, in videos and your art. :)
Also speaking as an known art collector who has a massive collection. When I looking to add a work I have a price I'm willing to pay. If the artist price would is that or less if more I may pass on the work. Currently building a collection of world class drawings which are less than painting. But when an artist quotes painting price for their drawings I'm out. Artist are attempting a cash grab these artist won't be around long enough to make a career in art. But most correct info the problem will be the artist who hears this in Utah and not London they will only hear half of what you said and will have missed the other important detail.
First of all it's an honor to still have you around. I remember you where one of the very first subscribers over 3 years ago. Thanks a lot for sharing your interesting perspectives. And yes I do agree that it's to easy for human begins to see the things they want to see. People from Bangladesh might very well listen to the $5000 part and conveniently get distracted during the rest of the video.
Hey Dries, you are great, despite all that hair. LOL. Great energy and presentation. Thank you for sharing your experiences and discussing strategies and lessons learned to help us out. Much appreciated. Castor Fernandez
As for the doctors method, It is unclear if the doctors method mean to just put your painting without asking? Like Keith did? You need to put some neils on the wall, and what if the doctors will decide to just take the painting away? Please elaborate, on how to get the paintings out there on the wall Amazing tip, thank you so much my friend
Hello Dries. Thank you for all the information in your channel, it helps me a lot, sometimes saves me too. I have a dilemma about the pricing. I understand your point, and that it partially reflects about being mindful of the place/country you sell. Last year I experienced, first time in reality pricing and selling in person. According to one place I gave a piece one price. Then in another place according to the place a gave the same piece a different price. Online I gave it a different price again... Truthfully, it does not feel right, it actually makes me feel unprofessional (Yeah, I know I'm in training...) and speculative. And so, after figuring out a price, this "mind the place (situation) in which you sell" makes me crumble again. What to do?
A very interesting point my art friend. I have investigated this dilemma. Position, Connections. & Performance can play a very important part in the PLAY. I report on this as Dries Knows.
My husband keep to say to do low price, no way. I don't ask to much high but I don't want less. I am starting my artistic business, I do sacred geometry: mandala.
DRIES - SERIOUS my Art Friend. I am going to save and visit you to have a fun ART weekend in your home. We can both video and learn. If you are up for the Journey mate, Only a new 2024 expedition of art investigation.
14:20 or even four likes. Not forty likes. And no comments. That with the same few people coming back with hardly anybody new. Those few people don't watch the entire reel but will give you a few seconds watch time and no one else will get to see it because of no watch time. And then the fake accounts and the scam accounts and bot accounts come over. Those will come but others will not.
I'm Brazilian, if I could sell 50,00 dollars a month, I could have something around 250,00 - 300, 00 reais, that is something good for a teenager who doesn't have a job

This comment is to create controversy. Many female artists of their time were prolific and didn't need advication for achievement by a sad little "Wannabe Artist" Grow up and show respect for those who outsurpass you.
Your reply shows your intellect. Tapping into the Confused title is so predictable and pathetic. Constructive comments would be better. You lose. Sun Tzu - Goodbye@@kascade9145

Thanks Hollie. You're very welcome!
You are brilliant. Thank you for the help,

That’s awesome! This is my dream! I’m still working on building my library before I take the leap! Do you sell prints or the originals?

Your price should ideally increase over time indeed.

Thanks for your perspective.
If your first piece sold for much more than what you expected why did you not raise all the other prices?
Hey Dries, you are great, despite all that hair. LOL. Great energy and presentation. Thank you for sharing your experiences and discussing strategies and lessons learned to help us out. Much appreciated. Castor Fernandez
Your video was so informative and honest. I love your style of being! Thank you so much. All the best to you.
I LOLed when you said, "I know nothing about pricing" I often get buys (AFTER they purchase) tell me, "You are not charging enough."
As for the doctors method, It is unclear if the doctors method mean to just put your painting without asking? Like Keith did?

@@journeyofaconfusedartist thank you, I will look it up.
I enjoyed the video, but the title paints a different picture than the actual content. Subscribed anyway. 👍
Very informative video 👍
Brother, I love your vibe!💪
Does this happen only in London? I mean can I do this in America? Which shows?
My husband keep to say to do low price, no way. I don't ask to much high but I don't want less. I am starting my artistic business, I do sacred geometry: mandala.
@@alidalavezzari4103 that’s a difficult art style it’s fair to ask for more
Thank you!
Fabulous 🎉
Do a hair tutorial!

I don't feel comfortable inviting people I haven't met in real life to my home David, I'm sure you'll understand that.
Sorry mate. I did NOT mean your home, but HOME TOWN. I would be in a hotel, obviously. Just meet and explore art in your home area.

I know how it feels. I've been there before. Don't get discouraged, it becomes better over time. The beginning is the hardest part.
Well done Dries for helping him over come FEAR of rejection and others opinions.@@driesketels

In another video you explained literally the strategy to lower your prices in order to get more sales....
Lower your prices in a city like London? Which video did I say that? Are you sure that wasn't a different TH-camr?
WHAT IS THIS PSYCHO-BABLE??? This artist will contribute to YOUR STARVATION!!
yuo basically said nothing
I’ll be happy with 40 likes 😂 I get 4-6 😂
You'll get there for sure! And after that you'll get towards 400 and 4000 and beyond. You got this
The only people making money out of art are the shops selling art supplies to wannabe artists.
Artists can make a living from their art, it's never been a better time to be an artist then today!
@@driesketels . No they cant .
Merchandise delivered to your door
❤ arists are dime a dozen.
It's definitely saturated for sure
It’s called tax evasion lol

So many women these days think they are artists . Painting complete rubbish.
This comment is to create controversy. Many female artists of their time were prolific and didn't need advication for achievement by a sad little "Wannabe Artist" Grow up and show respect for those who outsurpass you.
