It is clear that in the future there are going to be less and less jobs, and of those who have one, the law of supply and demand will mean most won't receive a fair living wage. As that time approaches, we will all need to find other ways of becoming economically self-sufficient. I have realized this for a long time, and for a long time have felt the pressure to realize economic independence. I also know I am not alone in this. With most who are called to be artists, the question of making a living, at what she or he does best, always looms. I know too well the "struggling artist syndrome". .
As more jobs dwindle, electronic economies are increasing. As I write this, the global economy is experiencing a dynamic shift. In order to survive that shift, we each have to evolve our thinking about how we generate currency in our lives. There isn't going to be a better time to begin participating in this new economy. The market is not ripe: meaning - prepare for a harvest. If you don't know what this new economy is yet it is the economy of electronic commerce. .
Perhaps you"re thinking yes, of course I know about E-Commerce. If you are anything like me, you might not see an opportunity for you to participate in it, thinking perhaps that you had to have a lot of money to set it up, or a team of people working on your behalf, or a lot of skills and equipment. But it simply isn't so. .
If you are an actively producing artist then you can do it too. In fact anyone who has a product can do it. That product can even be an idea. This E-Zine on direct electronic marketing specifically focuses on direct electronic marketing for the artists, but all the principles that I speak about in this publication can be applied to any product.
Seriously, anyone who wants to become financially independent, working for themselves, doing what they love, what they do best, can do it! That is of course, if they are willing to learn how and put it into practice.
