Default 1,000 True Fans

I came across a fascinating article called 1,000 True Fans. The article is based on the Street Performers Protocol as a way to make a living as an artist. It has very little to do with actual street performing however.

The basic idea is that an artist can make a living by serving 1,000 True Fans. The article talks a little bit about the Long Tail but you wont need much knowledge about that subject at all to get a great deal out of the article.

I'm giving this 1,000 True Fans theory a chance. After reading the article let me know what you think!
