And beware of “helpful experts” who tell you to do certain things to sell your work that your gut tells you isn’t going to work. Far too many of these people are really in the business of making money off of hopeful naive artists who are desperate for advice. It’s no harm to them if the artists who pay them fail from the advice and coaching they sell. They either don’t know that their advice doesn’t work because they’ve never practiced what they preach and/or don’t care. Similarly, there is no shortage of peers who urgently “help” with tactics that are specifically meant to fail and you will fall flat- just from the desire to eliminate their competition or the lust for schadenfreude.
