I’m writing this from a panel discussion for Twin Cities artists on building out a music career. An hour and 15 minutes into it, a question from the audience started out:

“We haven’t talked a lot about making records…”

I chuckled.

Aside from the bits about making sure you’ve correctly setup a small business – the rest of the conversation seemed very backwards-looking. I don’t see a difference between trying to make a living podcasting and make a living as a musician, same for writers/journalists/reporters and bloggers, video too.

I don’t see it. I’ve said that before.

So, what’s a budding creative mind to do? Get a day job?

What’s a “day job”?
