1) Favorite a whoooole slew of deviations/artist's galleries: chances are, some people will Watch you out of grattitude or to talk to you about the type of deviations you faved (yay, shared fandom!).
2) Even if you're a mediocre artist, submitting a ton of drawings to a well known (or cult favorite) fandom is a good way to catch the attention of other mediocre fanartists for that fandom.
3) Another option for mediocre artists is to make friends with people in their shared fandoms (usually by commenting on every deviation/artist's page that contains said fandom). Lots of friends.
4) Be a good artist and gather watchers who like your style or the characters you draw.
5) Be a really good artist, and watchers will come naturally.
Extra tips:
- Draw in either a unique style or (for fanart) draw the characters close to exactly as they appear (Bonus: improbable situations not normally seen in canon)
- Try to be original with your ideas (whether for OC's, poses, or backgrounds)
- Specialize in characters that have a severe lack of fanart ("Otherwise Unpopular")
- Join a shipping faction and make alliances with those onboard your ship
