If you have product, or can custom produce it, there are many markets, locally, regionally, nationally, globally. If you have product.

Trying to be the next big thing is ambitious, perhaps overly ambitious if you don't have the cosmetic appearance the 'big thing' demands, or the product for it.

But you may have a perfectly reasonable shot at lots of smaller markets, advertising, film, tv, and maybe even your own regional fame as an artist.

And there can be an income stream in merchandising too, hats, t-shirts, pictures, buttons, sew-on patches, etc.

Venues for live performance may be more plentiful than you think. Colleges, universities, high schools, grad schools, corporate events, libraries, chamber of commerce events, festivals, house concerts, parades.

The 'outside-the-box' cliche is appropriate in finding markets for what you have to sell.

There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com
