Advertising Yourself If you want an audience the responsibility for finding it is squarely on you.
Until you reach a certain level of notoriety you shouldn't expect your excellence
alone to draw people. There are, for example, great shower singers in the world,
but no one knows of them: and that's all they'll ever do.
On the one hand I suppose some really don't care- at a certain level people do things solely for themselves. Great art and artistry, though, should be shared, and most everyone in one way or another does seek some external validation of his work.
So what is an artist to do? How does he show potential audiences that he is worthy
of their attention? 
 Who's the "better" violinist, Jascha Heifetz or Joshua Bell?
Who's the "better" singer, Luciano Pavarotti or Franco Corelli? Who's the "better" artist, Pablo Picasso or Vincent van Gogh? Who is the "greater" composer, Mozart or Bach? The questions are almost nonsensical, for while there are certain objectives that each of these strives toward, what makes each of these an "artist" is his individuality- his uniqueness- as well as the sensibilities of the audience. It's a very interesting discussion to compare their different qualities, but pretty much pointless to say that one is "better" than another. In the business world, though, all that matters is the "bottom line." Athletes, too, are evaluated objectively: a .300 batting average is better than .260, a birdie is better than a bogey, and if you score fifteen touchdowns in a season it's better than scoring only four. Of course, an athlete's worth is predicated on more than just statistics, but they nevertheless play a large part. You want a doctor who saves a large percentage of his patients, an airline pilot who's never had a crash, a bank that pays more interest on your savings. These are all measurable facts and subject to inevitable, and often justifiable, comparisons. Now, I suppose we can often come to a general consensus that a given artist is good or bad too, but even then it is difficult to explain exactly why. They certainly don't use the tool of objective comparison in highlighting their strengths. A singer doesn't say, "I crack a smaller percentage of my high Cs than 90% of all working tenors," and a cellist doesn't say "My tone is 55% fuller than 98% of all working cellists today." Even if these statistics were somehow available and accurate it probably wouldn't even matter: we don't value our art and artists this way. Artists are really at the mercy of the subjectivity of their own endeavors. What this means is that, as an artist, you can't rely on your ability alone to carry you out to the world: you have to advertise yourself in as many positive ways as possible.
