But you've been reluctant. No matter how much you try, it feels spammy or not authentic. Or you haven't been able to stick with a consistent schedule of sharing your creativity online.

The Charles Dickens Method of Artistic Expression

Mon, 17 Jun 2019 19:56:25 +0000

If you take the traditional approach to creativity, you think in terms of working toward a completed package. You hole up in a studio or cabin for months or years as you work on a new project in seclusion.

Eventually, a collection of your best work is released as a full-length music album, novel, nonfiction book, art or photo exhibit, fashion line, film, stage play, etc. That model was the norm for many years.

Here's another option ...

The Louise Hay Guide to Serving and Growing an Audience

Wed, 15 May 2019 19:42:22 +0000

The late Louise Hay was an amazing woman. She was a pioneer in the self-help and personal development movement. She emphasized the power of mindset and the Law of Attraction long before The Secret came out.

I've listened to many Louise Hay audio recordings over the years.
Something she said in one interview especially struck me. So much so, I had to stop the recording and write it down to make sure I got it right.

She pointed out that people essentially crave advice on five topics. And if she stayed focused on addressing those core topics, she remained successful. I cover those topics in this episode.

Stop Waiting to Be Picked!

Tue, 30 Apr 2019 23:21:31 +0000

Want a Global Fan Base? Do This! (S3E23)

Sun, 19 Aug 2018 22:58:41 +0000

Sometimes, when I ask artists what their goals are, they say, "WORLD DOMINATION!" That's an admirable goal, but unless you're already a super star, it can lead to lots of frustration.

In this short episode (pulled from a video I recently posted) I offer the best way to build a strong, loyal fan base. My advice is probably not what you think. This is also great news for introverts.

YANNY vs LAUREL Song (S3E18)

Sat, 26 May 2018 02:43:30 +0000

In this short episode I share an original song I wrote last week about the raging debate over YANNY vs LAUREL. Which is it? In this humorous tune I put my foot down and choose a side.

I know, I should have pronounced Yanny like "granny" or "nanny," instead of like the musician Yanni. But you get the point :)

Want to know how to be your own boss as a musician, writer, visual artist, or performer? Great! But, if you really want to earn a full-time living in the arts, don't get stuck in this common trap.

Show Your Work in 2018: The Power of Consistent Sharing (S3E14)

Mon, 25 Dec 2017 04:03:57 +0000

This episode is all about the surprising benefits of consistently sharing your creative work. I examine two case studies: Jonathan Coulton and Emily Hope Price.

Bottom line: When you commit to regularly sharing your music, art, words, talents, etc ... you create opportunities to get exposure, attract fans, and make more of an impact with your art.

I feel so strongly about this I decided to launch the 30-Day Build Your Fan Base Challenge to help you (and me) share our work on a consistent basis.

This four-week program starts January 3, 2018.

Your #1 Asset as an Artist in 2018 (S3E13)

Wed, 13 Dec 2017 19:58:23 +0000

The new year is right around the corner. How will you define "success" as an artist in 2018? For the purposes of this video, I define success as "making an impact" with your music, words, art, performance, etc.

In other words, it's the level at which you touch people and bring value to their lives through your art. To reach that point you must expose your creative work and connect with people.

Listen to this episode for my best advice on how to do that in 2018.

I feel so strongly about this I decided to launch the 30-Day Build Your Fan Base Challenge to help you (and me) share our work on a consistent basis.

This four-week program starts January 3, 2018.

Las Vegas: How to Respond to Tragedy as an Artist (S3E8)

Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:09:34 +0000

When tragedies and senseless acts of violence take place (as they did recently in Las Vegas), how should we respond as creative people? What can we do about it?

As a musician, writer, artist, poet or performer with a fan base to speak to, what can YOU do about it? What should you say? You may feel helpless. Should you do anything at all?

Wanna learn how to vlog like a boss? Not sure what that even means? Have no fear. You'll learn all about it on this episode.

Amy Schmittauer started a YouTube channel in 2009 to vlog (video blog) her life. She discovered she was good at video, and people started asking her how to use video and social media for business purposes.

That inspired Amy to launch her Savvy Sexy Social channel in 2011. Soon after, she quit her corporate day job to become a full-time vlogger and social media consultant. Her channel currently has 54,000+ subscribers and nearly 4 million channel views.

On this episode, she shares her story and offers some great advice on expanding your presence and personal brand online.

Jamey Stegmaier may be one of the most successful people I've interviewed. He took a childhood interest and turned it into a thriving, multi-million dollar business. That makes him a guy worth listening to.

His company creates board games for niche audiences. He used Kickstarter to raise a total of $3.2 million over several campaigns for different games, each one raising more money than the previous campaign.

Jamey's business philosophy is based on engagement, interaction and delivering value to his community. His attitude is infectious. You don't have to be a board game creator to benefit immensely from his wisdom. So listen up!

Here's the audio to my most popular YouTube video in recent months. It racking up more than a thousand views in a week. In this short clip I offer an alternative view of celebrity deaths and the widespread notion that "2016 sucked!"

I must have struck a nerve, because the view count keeps rising.

I recorded this the day after George Michael died. After that Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds passed away. Add them to a long list of icons that includes David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Muhammad Ali, George Martin, Alan Rickman, Gene Wilder, Garry Shandling, John Glenn, Florence Henderson, Glenn Frey, and more.

There are many ways to respond to all that happened in 2016. Take a few minutes to listen to this for a different perspective

I think of him as the punk rock entrepreneur. Jon Nastor took the DIY punk music ethic of his teens and twenties and ended up applying it to his business life.

Today he hosts the wildly successful "Hack the Entrepreneur" podcast, even though he hates the sound of his voice.

His first time out of the gate as an author resulted in several thousand copies sold of his Hack the Entrepreneur book, even though he never considered himself to be a great writer.

Listen to this high-energy interview as Jon lays out his amazing story in detail. You'll learn:

How he wrote and published his first book in three months
What his young daughter taught him about the power of birthdays
Why he loves and embraces "maniacs" and encourages you to do the same
How Dr. Seuss changed his life
Why all entrepreneurs should be willing to suck

It's been said that your "net worth" is directly related to your "network." So ... How well connected do you feel you are to people in your creative field?

On this episode I give my best advice on how to expand your circle of influence. How to increase the number of people you know ... and, more important, the number of people who know you!

Apparently, I'm considered to be a master networker - but I never think of myself that way. So if you don't like the whole concept of "networking," you'll get a lot out of this discussion.

030 - Shana Merlin, the Improv Comedy Queen of Austin

Sun, 25 May 2014 16:44:30 +0000

Have you ever watched Whose Line Is It Anyway? or seen an improvisational comedy troupe and wondered, "How do they do that?"

Well, my guest on this episode has been performing improv for decades and now runs a thriving business that teaches people how do it.

Shana Merlin, in my view, is the improv comedy queen of Austin, TX. She took a passion and skill that most people only do part-time for fun and turned it into Merlin Works, a school that shows adults how to have fun and think on their feet.

In this fun, in-depth interview Shana talks about:

How the improv principle of "Yes, and ..." was key to her business success
Why she embraces the idea of the "lean startup"
The unique challenges that moms face when building a business
Her alternate view of Michael Gerber's E-Myth strategy (and I totally agree with her)
The book she discovered in Fourth Grade that changed her life

Watch the video version of the interview and see the show notes here
