it’s about what you give. Only by giving something to the online community do you start to get something back. Promoting yourself is fine, but online social networking, at least on Twitter, has an unwritten rule that you are there to help others as well as yourself. When you “friend” other artists, it means that you really are interested in them and in their work. Artists who are only out to get attention and recognition usually don’t last long in that environment. The artists who do survive and thrive, are the ones who want to help others climb up the ladder of success along with them.


As for those fifteen minutes of fame... If that’s what you’re after,there’s nothing wrong with that, as long as you know that that kind of fame is fleeting at best. Long-lasting success for artist entrepreneurs comes from 1) knowing how to position yourself, 2) becoming an expert in your field, and 3) sharing your expertise and knowledge, online and offline, with other artists. If you do these three things on a regular basis, chances are you won’t have to seek out fame and fortune. They will find you!.
