Happyboynumber1 here. I want you to succeed. And here is what nobody told me for the last 30 years of my life.
You can be a great craft man, it doesn't mean you will get fame. The fact is most people are usually 3 skill alway from their success.
Here is what I learnt and is trying to reach. If you are a good craft man, you are already 1 step ahead of the herd. Now you need to learn marketing, sales and rhetoric.
1) marketing is essential, your talent and skill don't market themselves. A tree falls in the forest and nobody heard it. Therefor it didnt exist.
2) sell your stuff, your art must have a specific set of values and worth. Once you realize the time, effort, cost and logistics of getting your art to the hands of your customers. You got to convince them to buy it. Sale strategy is paramount. You set your price and never discount.
3) you got to be able to speak properly, within the realms of logic and rationale. It is the most important of the 3. Because it ties them together, marketing requires you to understand a specific keyword and trigger words to use. Sales requires persuasion too.
Lastly, rhetoric is required for all high art. Where you write your artist statement, designed for contemporary or conceptual art.
Email me if you want some of the books I read. Or you want to be part of my art crew.
