Profit. #1, go please yourself. #2, it's a business and like any business, you have to have a demand and a supply, you can create a demand, (marketing) or you can fill a existing demand. Then you have to be able to preform. I have seem a few people here on TC create a demand and then for many reason, not preform, almost worse than no demand. My point is if you want to make money doing anything, it takes business skills first. Best of luck and be true to your art.
