Thank you for the posting Debra!
I will be reading for 12 days now, 1 at a time for absorption's sake...
"Don't stay out of harm's way, be IN IT" " ...I like that...

1. Release it to the market.

2. Promote the heck out if it.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until money flows in.

This series has something to offer everyone, whether performing or not.

But who is your market? And how do you let them know you exist? Just shouting it from the rooftops (or your twitter feed) will be more likely to get you arrested or blocked (respectively). I know you were likely being at least slightly facetious, but I think this leaves out so MANY steps and represents what so MANY artists actually think works (and doesn't)....
