- self-employment vs employment
- starting up a business
- funding and sponsorship

- self promotion
- legal issues and creative crime
- negotiation tactics and contracts
- records, taxes and basic bookkeeping
- trading via the internet, innovation and future trends.
All in all, this is a thorough guide for all artists who want to be better informed about the practical aspects of their career or who are interested in starting up their own business.
