There's definitely some patterns,

2/ 'successful'' is subjective.
In this case we're being shallow and talking sales $.
Coz let's face it.
Most Artists need to get paid. (Like everyone else).

3/ Story
Artists that do big numbers, have been in the scene for a while.
Whether Crypto or Art in general.
Jose Delbo - 87 yrs old, artist for early DC & Marvel Comics. (Wonder Woman, Transformers, etc.
Trevor Jones - Big sales like 'Picasso's bull's, big collectors, etc.

4/ Marketing.
Some of you are like 'eugh marketing'.
But growing a social presence is essential in these times.
More social followers, has generally seen more/higher sales.
Unless there's a strong 'real world's demand.

5/ Collecting Collectors
Collectors collect Art
Artists collect Collectors.
Seen those that price with the above in mind do well.
First art pieces being 'cheap' or affordable for many collectors.
Then they slowly ride that momentum till there's a TON of collectors watching.

6/ Pricing
Again, seen those that keep prices affordable at the start do well.
Eg, 0.1-.2 ETH seems to be a sweet spot. (First pieces).
If editions of 10.
As they release more drops, they get more collectors and then start releasing bigger drops.

7/ Scarcity
Collecting is a LOT about scarcity.
Nothing beats a 1/1
10/10 is still pretty rare.
The moment there's 1,000 NFT editions, I've seen them hardly sell.
No 'collector' feel.
Those that match collector appetite with scarcity + pricing seem to do well.

8/ Unique Art/Talent.
An obvious one.
Art buying is a subjective matter.
But those that seem to continually perfect their craft, do well.
Mostly, it's apparent which are high effort pieces.
This intersects with building a story.

9/ Luck
Sometimes a big collector fancies a piece.
And boom it sells for something crazy.
Then a lot more collectors pay attention which sells the next drops.
Generally, the harder people work, the luckier they seem to get.

10/ Themes
Crypto art on relevant matters is quite appealing in this part of town.
Not for all, but seen a trend.
I've seen themed art, from known artists do well.
Or sometimes new artists get their art picked up due to the buzz.

11/ Persistence.
No substitute to working your a$$ off.
Most artist that do big sales have been at it for years, decades.
It's the way most things work.
Fail, learn, fail, learn, fail, learn, win.

12/ Disclaimer.
This is just what I've observed.
Not advice, just my take.
Could be way different for other collectors and artists.
So take from it what you will.
