Real Artists Don’t Starve
Some people think it’s “bad” to
mix money and art, and those people are wrong. Why should artists
need to suffer in order to create “real” art? We’re here to
challenge the starving artist stereotype that has stunted our
persistence and creativity as artists.
In
this episode, Leah walks us through her favorite highlights from
Jeff Goin’s book ‘Real Artists Don’t Starve’ and shows us that it
is possible to make both art and money.
Important Things To Remember:
- Everyone deals with imposter syndrome.Successful artists ignore it.
- Art needs an audience. In order to be found, you must be findable.
- Marketing contains a relevant platform,
relevant message, relevant
offer, relevant audience.
- “The thriving artist understands that business
is part of art and
money is something
an artist must
master”
- If you don’t value your work, no one will.
- Digital sales are not limited to music.
