Amen. Even Social Media Explorer knows how to sell art better than most artists do…

A short article but direct and to the point. I agree, a call to action is necessary and we need to be crystal clear about our intentions. Have a wonderful day. Warmly, Susan

I’m guessing you didn’t actually read the post that starts off by saying he was watching a “promotional video for a friend’s new product “. Sounds like the intent of the video was to persuade you to buy said product.

Great art is offered to you for free … and your reaction is wanting to know how to buy it? Uhm… not sure how to react to that without getting into a the quicksand of ‘what is art’ debate. ART is not a product just as ZEN is not a religion, if you will. Not to say you can’t monetize ZEN or ART, but profit is not their main goal.

Perhaps, instead of asking this rhetorical question, you could post a link to this great work of art, and propose how you would monetize it. Or better, ask others how they would propose to monetize this fantastic creation…

I agree, Jason. Great art can move you emotionally but it takes the right words to make you act.
