Is Your Artist-Esteem Low?
Posted by admin on 25 Feb 2011 | Tagged as: Tips for Artists
An artist reached out to me today and told me that “it feels a bit like begging” when he asks fans to host concerts for him. Ouch.
It’s always been a challenge for artists to maintain their self-esteem in light of the constant rejection (or worse, no response) that our work involves. Certainly, there is always room to improve our art.
But today, I submit that we can also improve our timing, our tenacity, our emails, and…
our perspective.
What if, instead of asking for a favor, you were offering a special, exclusive opportunity for your fans to enjoy you and your music in a truly remarkable way. Isn’t that what you are doing when you email them about house concerts?
What you do is valuable. But no one will believe that if you don’t.
