<br />
For the purposes of this video, which I recorded live on Facebook, I define success as "making an impact" with your music, words, art, performance, etc.<br />
<br />
<b>In other words, it's the level at which you touch people and bring value to their lives through your art.</b><br />
<br />
To reach that point you must expose your creative work and connect with people.<br />
<br />
Watch this short video for my advice on the best way to do that ...<br />

<br />
<strong>Here are seven quick, hand-picked links I thought you might find helpful</strong>:<br />
<br />
<strong>1)</strong> Have you been thinking of starting or growing an Etsy business? Alicia Shaffer’s company, ThreeBirdNest, earns nearly $1 million a year on the site, selling handmade leg-warmers, scarves, and headbands.<br />
<br />
<strong><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.fastcodesign.com/3042352/how-one-knitter-makes-almost-1-million-a-year-on-etsy" href="https://www.fastcodesign.com/3042352/how-one-knitter-makes-almost-1-million-a-year-on-etsy">Here’s how she did it …</a></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>2)</strong> Whether you’re just starting a new creative endeavor or have been at it for a while, you owe it to yourself to consider <strong><a data-cke-saved-href="https://medium.com/@MrBuzzFactor/seth-godins-16-questions-for-creative-entrepreneurs-db5242c8d0ee" href="https://medium.com/@MrBuzzFactor/seth-godins-16-questions-for-creative-entrepreneurs-db5242c8d0ee">Seth Godin’s 16 questions for creative entrepreneurs</a></strong>.<br />
<br />
Once you examine your motives and what drives you (as well as what holds you back), your creative pursuit becomes much clearer and easier to navigate.<br />
<br />
<strong>3)</strong> Agnese Aljena believes the world needs art more than ever. The more time artists have to spend on creating, the better. That’s why she outlined these <strong><a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/7-steps-becoming-full-time-artist.html" href="http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/7-steps-becoming-full-time-artist.html">seven steps to becoming a full-time artist</a></strong>.<br />

<br />
<strong>4)</strong> Would you like a simple way to be more productive, optimistic, and empowered? <strong><a data-cke-saved-href="https://youtu.be/yHvHdE4PxQ4" href="https://youtu.be/yHvHdE4PxQ4">This YouTube video</a></strong> delivers a pep talk on the Power of Questions - and how you can apply it to your creative pursuits, personal goals, and your life.<br />
<br />
<strong>5)</strong> Lena Danya is a full-time visual artist with more than 270,000 YouTube subscribers and an impressive online audience. Lucky for us, she shares <strong><a data-cke-saved-href="https://youtu.be/YWi5A5ZEy1I" href="https://youtu.be/YWi5A5ZEy1I">her best advice for artists</a></strong> who want to get their work out there and build a following on social media.<br />
<br />
<strong>6)</strong> You probably have more promotion ideas than you know what to do with. The trick is taking those random concepts and crafting them into a concrete marketing plan - one you can wrap your brain around and actually act on!<br />

<br />
When tragedies and senseless acts of violence take place (as they did recently in Las Vegas), how should we respond as creative people? What can we do about it?<br />
<br />
As a musician, writer, artist, poet or performer with a fan base to speak to, what can YOU do about it? What should you say?<br />
<br />
You may feel helpless. Should you do anything at all?<br />
<br />
Only you can answer that. But in this episode I offer a few important options to consider.<br />
<br />
Here's a link to the written blog post:<br />

You’ve probably set a lot of goals over the years – to write a book, record an album, build your following, etc. But how many of them have you actually reached?<br />
<br />
If you’ve come up short in the past, don’t beat yourself up about it. You’re not alone. <b>There’s a good chance you just made a simple mistake that many creative people make</b>.<br />
<br />
In this new podcast episode I explain what that error is and suggest an easy way to overcome it. It’s the process I’ve used to write and publish fifteen books, release seven albums of original music, and more.<br />
<br />
Is this something you can implement in your creative life?<br />

<br />
If you're like most artists and creative people, you have more promotion ideas than you know what to do with. The trick is taking those random concepts and crafting them into <b>a concrete marketing plan - one you can wrap your brain around and actually act on!</b><br />
<br />
This episode spells out my best advice on creating a marketing plan for your art, music, writing, and more. Use this planning process to craft a solid promotion plan that works for you.<br />

Buckle up your seat belt, because you are in for an inspirational ride. This episode features my interview with Sheri Fink, the author of five best-selling children's books.<br />
<br />
She also produced an inspirational journal, published a romance novel, and her voice and lyrics are featured on music albums - and <b>all of them have achieved impressive levels of success</b>.<br />
<br />
I didn't know what to expect when I first reached out to Sheri to interview her. I had a feeling it would be an interesting story, and boy is it ever!<br />
<br />
In fact, there's so much great stuff here, I'm breaking it up into two episodes. This is part one. Enjoy!<br />

Wanna learn how to vlog like a boss? Not sure what that even means? Have no fear. You'll learn all about it on this episode.<br />
<br />
Amy Schmittauer started a YouTube channel in 2009 to vlog (video blog) her life. She discovered she was good at video, and people started asking her how to use video and social media for business purposes.<br />
<br />
That inspired Amy to launch her Savvy Sexy Social channel in 2011. Soon after, she quit her corporate day job to become a full-time vlogger and social media consultant. Her channel currently has 54,000+ subscribers and nearly 4 million channel views.<br />
<br />

<br />
Jamey Stegmaier may be one of the most successful people I've interviewed. He took a childhood interest and turned it into a thriving, multi-million dollar business. That makes him a guy worth listening to.<br />
<br />
His company creates board games for niche audiences. He used Kickstarter to raise a total of $3.2 million over several campaigns for different games, each one raising more money than the previous campaign.<br />
<br />
Jamey's business philosophy is based on engagement, interaction and delivering value to his community. His attitude is infectious. You don't have to be a board game creator to benefit immensely from his wisdom. So listen up!<br />

Here's the audio to my most popular YouTube video in recent months. It racking up more than a thousand views in a week. In this short clip I offer an alternative view of celebrity deaths and the widespread notion that "2016 sucked!"<br />
<br />
<b>I must have struck a nerve, because the view count keeps rising</b>.<br />
<br />
I recorded this the day after George Michael died. After that Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds passed away. Add them to a long list of icons that includes David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Muhammad Ali, George Martin, Alan Rickman, Gene Wilder, Garry Shandling, John Glenn, Florence Henderson, Glenn Frey, and more.<br />
<br />
There are many ways to respond to all that happened in 2016. Take a few minutes to listen to this for a different perspective<br />

I think of him as the punk rock entrepreneur. <b>Jonny Nastor</b> took the DIY punk music ethic of his teens and twenties and ended up applying it later to his business life.<br />
<br />
Today he hosts the wildly successful "<b>Hack the Entrepreneur</b>" podcast, even though he hates the sound of his voice.<br />
<br />
His first time out of the gate as an author resulted in several thousand copies sold of his <i>Hack the Entrepreneur</i> book, even though he never considered himself to be a great writer.<br />
<br />
Listen to this high-energy interview as Jon lays out his amazing story in detail. You'll learn:<br />
<ul><li><b>How he wrote and published his first book in three months</b></li>
<li>What his young daughter taught him about the power of birthdays</li>
<li><b>Why he loves and embraces "maniacs" and encourages you to do the same</b></li>
<li>How Dr. Seuss changed his life</li>
<li><b>Why all entrepreneurs should be willing to suck</b></li>
</ul>Click Play. <i>You'll be glad you did!</i><br />
