I hope this post becomes the first in a series of presenting successful business models for artists and those pursuing otherwise creative careers. In my experience, artists think far less about business and financial matters than they should, making the already-competitive world of the arts even more difficult to navigate successfully.

I love this idea and in fact, wished there was something like this for myself and my students years ago. There is nothing more discouraging than having students walk into my studio with oodles of talent, ideas, and finished original music with few outlets for it besides the local music scene and relying on the off-chance some producer, somewhere will discover them at a show or open a demo they sent without an introduction from someone in the business. Furthermore, until now, it seems most online submission sites have had costly fees and dubious results.
