How many live art shows should I do to get good at them?

You should aim for hundreds, even a thousand shows. Think of it like training to do 100 pushups in one sitting—you can’t do it immediately, but with consistent practice you build the capacity. Getting truly good at live shows requires extensive reps and sets. The good news is it costs nothing to practice and your minimum viable audience is just one person, so there’s no reason not to practice constantly. Since this is likely the future of online selling across many industries, investing the time to master it now makes tremendous sense. Do a show, get some results, then keep going—practice until excellence becomes natural.
