This is some life-changing stuff people!
For the past year I have been studying creative business marketing and all the convoluted crap that circulates the web on the subject. I took courses, read books & countless articles, subscribed to newsletters. It felt like I was floating under the sea of "how-to" & "7 secrets of" marketing & the ever-elusive "content creation;" I was completely lost in a state of WTF and wondering why all this "knowledge" was doing fuck all for my creative work.
Turning the last page of Amanda's book feels like coming up to the surface and taking in a fresh breath of Authenticity. I Get It now! It has all become clear to me! It is laughably obvious and simple.
So here is my conclusion after so long of wading in the dark:
All you need is Brené Brown's Daring Greatly, Seth Godin's Tribes, Austin Kleon's Show Your Work and Amanda Palmer's Art of Asking. Mix with some common sense, authenticity and vulnerability and you will see clues of what you need to do poking out in front of you. It's amazing. It's life-changing stuff.
And now if you'll excuse me I have to go and try putting what I've just learned into practice!
