How to Be a Financially Successful Creative: Practical Advice & Problem Solving

Hollywood Insider Help by Nancy Fulton

Writers, actors, filmmakers, artists, designers, and other creatives are taught young that choosing to be a creative professional is risky business. It doesn't have to be.

In this workshop you'll learn:

• Why earning a living as a creative looks like luck or magic from the outside.
• Why it is not the tight-rope walk you've been told it is since you were born.
• How to understand exactly what you need to do to build a creative business so you can swiftly do it.
• How to find fans and turn them into paying customers.
• Why taking big risks, and making big investments usually doesn't pay off, but running lots of inexpensive experiments almost always does.
• How having money to invest into your creative business can be a blessing or a curse.
• How to figure out what you might have been doing wrong.
• How to determine what "works" and what doesn't when it comes to the products and services you sell.
• Practical examples of how most creatives go off the rails in trying to create a sustainable way to get paid for their work.

This is a very practical, brass-tacks, rational workshop that helps you understand, intuitively, what you need to so so you can do it. Furthermore, you'll understand why what you've been doing previously hasn't been working wonderfully well even though you've got a lot of skill, talent, and commitment.
