DIYBA at CUE Arts Foundation
This past week I gave a talk for the DIY Business Association about the impact of the internet and digital media on creative industries. Hosted by the CUE Arts Foundation, Amy Schroeder and I talked with artists about how to market their work and begin to view marketing as a creative undertaking at which they are ideally suited to succeed.
I’ll share the video of the event once it’s ready. My main take-away was the importance of putting yourself on the line. I owe a debt of gratitude to a number of very smart people for influencing my thinking and perspective over the past year, but I didn’t realize the depth of that influence until I committed myself to the talk and started writing.
So in this season of gratitude, I extend a big thank you to the following people for their work and words: Seth Godin, Steven Pressfield, Derek Sivers, Bob Lefsetz, Mike Shatzkin, Jason Hirschhorn, Debbie Millman, Carin Goldberg, JA Konrath, Leo Tolstoy, Nick Hornsby, Neal Stephenson, Kevin Kelly, Chris Anderson, Craig Mod, Jeff Jarvis, and to a number of people unnamed who’ve always taken the time to write back to me when I’ve got questions, problems I’m trying to work out, or things I don’t understand.
Your help has made all the difference.
Happy Holidays.
