This YouTube video (Lennon Bone) argues that the primary reason artists fail at selling work online is not talent, algorithm, pricing, or followers but a failure to move from learning to action. The speaker identifies perfectionism as fear disguised as standards and issues a 2026-focused call-to-action encouraging artists to publicly commit to taking action.
The real reason that most artists fail when it comes to selling their work online isn't what you think. It's not talent. It's not the algorithm, it's not your pricing, it's not your lack of quality, it's not your lack of followers. It's this. When you have to go from learning how to do business to doing the thing you stop. The artist that will succeed will see that this is a pattern that they have and they will break it. In 2026, if you find yourself saying, I need to figure out my tech first, I need to get my website ready first, I've left things for so long, I don't know how to start. I. I don't know what makes me interesting. And you might even call yourself a perfectionist. But the truth is, perfectionism is just fear dressed up as standards. I am flipping jazzed for 2026 because my whole word for artists is action. Because I know on the other side of action is real results. If you're ready to take action in 2026, comment action below. Not because you'll get something from it, but because you have an opportunity to make a commitment to yourself publicly.
