Is Artistry Worth It?
from The Travel DJ Blend with DJ Brian B · host Brian B
I had a "triple event" weekend which was both a sobering reminder and an encouragement to pursuing artistry. When I was starting out in this industry, my whole sales process and value proposition was wrapped into what I could do "at" their event. The problem with that is you can't guarantee a lot of those things because so much of it is out of your control. A few years ago I shifted to selling the things I could control. While that may add a few more layers to my process (that I actually do enjoy), there still is the "day of event" pay-off that you hope for as a creative. What happens when the pay-off doesn't occur? I cover that and more in this episode. My Patreon Shop is live! Grab documents and music listings a la carte. I'm on YOUTUBE! Please subscribe and share.
