Abstract
If you want to be successful as a professional media maker, you have to think of yourself as a ‘business of one’: always managing, promoting, and performing yourself as a brand. This is a truism throughout all media industries. However, such constant self-branding comes at a cost. This chapter discusses the origin of self-branding and offers an alternative way of finding work in media by focusing on craftsmanship.
