People will call you a sellout when you start charging for your art. I call it making a living. If being a sellout means knowing my value and respecting my art enough to not give it away as if it had no value, then I'm the biggest sellout you'll ever meet. The truth is, a sellout is someone who doesn't stay true to themselves; someone who does things that they do not want to do for money because they hold no value in themselves and their art. The true sellout is one that doesn't know the value of their true selves and their pure art. There comes a point in time where your art becomes your career and is no longer a hobby. There is no much time to be fooling around, not taking yourself seriously by giving yourself away like a handout slave and spoonfeeding your art. If you don't give value to your art then who will? When people want quality, they will start to pay professionals. When people want cheap freebies, you will be known as the cheap freebie guy. You will forever stay stuck in that zone. This is something that is going to one day be your main reliance for food and shelter. Treat it like a hobby and it will pay like a hobby. Not Hollywood; just business. Whether you're a rapper/singer, painter, musician, photographer, Marketer, Freelancer etc, you should watch and spread this video. This is for you.
