The Secret to Creative Longevity: Taste the Remainbow
What do you actually need to get attention? What do you need to keep going? When you don’t get it, how do you keep going? Is it bad to constantly monitor your analytics when no one is picking up what you’re putting down? Do you need to create a gimmick – like mustard Skittles – to get all eyes and curiosity upon you? How do you achieve creative longevity when all the numbers – the analytics, the comments, the likes or lack of them – are telling you to stop?
I’m talking about creative longevity and people, you only need two things for that. Listen and you’ll find out what those two things are.
