What artists NEED to do is work on their craft, build a body of work, and show that work to people. And there are better options for showing your work than social media. Having a website is a good start. Doing PR and having an email list is even better.

You know, tools, methods, and systems - they’re all a reflection of your thinking. So without understanding the underlying principles, without understanding why things work, they won’t save you.

The template is a simple Notion doc that you can duplicate and customize.  I estimate that it will take you between 10 and 20 minutes to complete:  https://erwanderlyn.notion.site/Go-to-market-strategy-template-922cd48b7d8e4ff8bbd37711d9fea71d 

I left pretty much all tracking websites (last.fm, goodreads, letterboxd) and let me tell you, it feels great to not carry a big list of numbers around with me, I’m like a tiny fluffy cloud of indifference floating through existence, broadcasting nothing and just taking it the view.

So let’s generalize this and say that retirement without doing what excites you is not a good retirement. What we actually need to understand here is the different perceptions of retirement: To some retirement means sitting in Florida and staring at a wall, to others it’s hang gliding in Tahiti, and to some it simply means not having to work.
