How To Become A Successful Indie Artist

By Edward Harris


Most often, individuals involved in arts and entertainment have an agent or manager. While this is the case, there are also others whom are self-promoting artists. In many cases, an individual doing so is considered an indie artist. As this is the case, the individual is also responsible for events listings in local calendars, sharing information on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, hanging event posters and passing out handbills.

In many cases, these individuals work from the bottom up. While this is the case, those whom are most successful eventually get to the point of becoming self-supporting artists whom can live on the income the art provides. As such, rather than instant stardom, these individuals often have to work long and hard to reach this level of success.

Most independent artists are individuals whom can focus on a project from beginning through completion. In doing so, these individuals can often move forward and become well known artists over time. While this is the case, it should be noted that independent artists create, produce and promote whatever art form one is working in at the moment.

In most cases, these individuals rarely have a full or part-time job, and live on a limited income of proceeds from piece work and art projects. While this is the case, most are more than happy to do so. For, being independent includes having the freedom to work on projects as desired.

When it comes poets, there are many whom attend National or International Poetry festivals each year. In doing so, the individuals often has a chance perform in front of other poets and spoken word fans as a feature. Whereas, there are often poetry slams at which individuals can perform in hopes of winning money. For those not comfortable with competition, there are often areas in which poets can also sell a number of poetry related products such as books and CDs.

The best artists practice a craft or crafts on a daily basis. Acquiring feedback from trusted critics and other individuals is extremely important to these individuals. For, the information provided can work to help improve future projects. As such, feedback, whether positive or negative often has an impact on these individuals.

In most areas, there are classes and workshops in different areas of arts and entertainment. For, while a degree is not required to become an independent artist, it can often pay to gain knowledge, insight and experience from others in the art world. In some cases, just attending a one-day class in a particular discipline can benefit individuals desiring to become successful independent artists.

Whatever the case, a true independent artist creates a way to succeed without the help of others. For, as the term indicates, independent means getting things done with the talents and materials with which one has to do so. Once having completed a project or piece of work, an independent artist then goes out and shares the creation with the world at large.
