What is the most fundamental problem preventing my art business from growing?

The attention problem is the most fundamental issue every artist and photographer faces. Without attention, you can’t have a website problem, a pricing problem, or any other business problem because no one will ever see your work. Attention is the currency of the modern age—with it you can do anything, without it no one will see or buy what you create. It’s not a one-time fix; it requires daily, consistent effort, just like feeding yourself. You must work on getting more attention every single day before you can effectively address any other aspect of your business.
