How often should I pivot or try new things?

There’s no fixed rule like ‘once per month.’ The question is: how quickly can you create? If you can produce new work every 8 hours, you should be testing as many different subject matters as possible. Think of it as building a portfolio of 50-100 different content types to test what resonates. The faster you can get prototypes to market and gather feedback, the faster you’ll discover what works and can go deeper on those winners. This isn’t about changing your painting or photography style—it’s about testing different subject matters within your existing technique to find what your audience responds to most.
