IMHO there are several paths to take once you have brought a problem down to "I am not good at [skill X]": * find One Weird Trick to work around your lack of X * get advice/training from someone who is good at X and do X yourself * find someone who is good at X and pay them to do X * decide that even thinking about this problem is painful and go back to doing the stuff you're already good at In general the first two are gonna cost less money than the third, but will probably cost orders of magnitude more time. The fourth path is obviously not going to change anything but to be quite honest it's mostly the one I take with regards to marketing my own art.
