How well do you master the art of asking? In a recent talk at TED, Amanda Palmer (the singer that raised more than a million on Kickstarter) speaks about how connection can be triggered by asking (and not just giving first!). And how by asking her tribe she got everything she needed during her trips.
“By asking people, you connect with them, and by connecting with them, they want to help you“. This redefines the economics of many fields, in particular music and arts in general: you create a connection by asking first; and then you can nurture this connection into a great relationship that is mutually beneficial.
Artists can and should be supported by fans, as broadcast of their art is becoming free. Like Amanda, can we make an art to ask?
From now, how are you going to Ask better?
