If your an "artist", be it, musician, composer, singer, chef, baker, fine artist, painter, writer, or graphic designer, and you can't get people to pay you, then your either not good or playing to the wrong audience.

The Washington Post conduct an experiment with, Joshua Bell ( google him), a world renowned violinist. He sells out concert halls all over the world that commands over $50 a ticket to see him play. In January, during the morning rush, at a metro station in Washington DC, Joshua plays his violin. During his 40 minutes of playing he received $59 (not bad). A little over 1000 people passed by him. Only 7 people stayed to listen for a little while and only one person recognized him. Three days before the experiment was conducted, he performed at Bostons Symphony Hall where seats sold for $100 each. That's a big contrast!

So for all you artist out there don't be discouraged keep finding your audience. You can be the best at what you do but if you are playing to the wrong audience then you will not receive what you are worth.

In the full article Joshua explains a little bit of how he felt during his performance in the subway. They also have feed back on the listeners. Interesting to say
the least! Let me know your thoughts. View the performance below. Its only 2 and half minutes long.

Please comment below.
