Hi Artist,

Thank you, I think in this time of uncertainty, that it's more important than ever to pool our experiences, for as independents, working outside the old box, when one of succeeds, we all succeed.

Good point, I think Networking, in all aspects, is a key player in a good marketing and promotion plan. It's also something few of us are real good at...lol. I believe one of the key issues you pointed out was consistency. Very important in any marketing plan or promotion.

I liked your Tila example, makes a good point about the need to think outside the box sometimes, and how creating an image, or a brand, can play an important part in the success factor of some people.

Thanks again for your input.
