Artists have an immeasurable number of new opportunities in the digital content world of the internet. In order to capitalize on them, thinking inside the old Hollywood box of television and film must be abandoned. By choosing to think outside the box, artists gain the ability to create astounding, high quality, entertainment content.
If you have a craft business, and depend on craft shows as a way to make money, then you have to get organized at the right time of year.
If Christmas crafts are your bread and butter, then July and August are the best time to get a head start on them. Spend July figuring out what you are going to create, and then get the supplies. In the summer, many people come away from crafts because of holidays etc, and this is a good time to get the deals.
