Kevin Kelly, who wrote one of the best books I have ever read, also wrote an influential article for bloggers and artists called “1000 True Fans.” It said a lot of things, but the one that resonated most for me: if you can cultivate 1000 true fans, they’ll spend $100 dollars on your art every [...]
