Struggling to Monetize at Conventions

Summary

Independent artists face significant challenges in monetizing their work at conventions despite improving their skills and setups. Many artists report making less money over time, feeling pressured to invest in more products without the assurance of sales. This leads to frustration and a sense of failure, as they struggle to compete with peers who have more diverse product offerings. The lack of clear strategies for success at these events exacerbates their financial stress and emotional well-being.
