The SFNers (Something For Nothing crowd) do this but won’t change as a result of reading this. After all, it’s all about them, isn’t it?
Artists, HTFU and realise this will happen, time and again. Refuse to prostitute yourselves. Convert every disappointment to a resolve to excel at your art so more people will appreciate your art and those with money who appreciate it will pay more for your work.
To non-artists, an artist receives pay in three ways. Cash, admiration and word of mouth. Make sure you don’t short change them on any of the three.
