Hello to all my sometimes readers,
I know I haven’t written in a while but this is going to be a whiny, ranting post so this is a fair warning - do not read on if you do not want to.
Two weeks ago I finally found a job after looking for one for a VERY LONG TIME - tech support for Microsoft. I'm currently in the course to teach me the basic tech skills needed to do tech support ( Read more... )
I wish I knew how to help you, but in the world of freelance business, if you don't push yourself (sometimes obnoxiously) onto opportunities, your work won't even be looked at or evaluated.
I know you tried the apprentice thing once before, but maybe you can look for another arrangement like that, while you do the bleh job? In the visual arts, being associated with a studio or a pre-established artist often does you good, I've been told...
Other than that, you can go viral... Think up a concept you want to advertise or something (Real non-model women being beautiful? Drugs being bad? A zombie apocalypse is upon us?), make lots of posters with different images and styles that support this concept and catch the eye well, and hang them all over Tel-Aviv. Put your website address on them. You can add a forum or a guest book or something to your site, so that people will have something to do when they get there. Do polls there, offer a contest whose winner will be a model in the next set of posters about another concept or something... This will be expensive, but will get your name and your site out there into people's minds, and will form a community of fans maybe.
Unfortunately, there's no "sedate" way to become a successful freelance artist. Either you know a guy, or you're the kind of guy guys who know guys want to get to know...
