EP130: Creating Products for Your Creative Services Business
Are you a photographer, designer of any kind, writer or other creative services provider? This week Melissa and Heather are talking about how you can create products to sell alongside your creative services and open up new revenue streams - great for your slow season, to have earning income while you continue to serve clients or to help you break through the income ceiling a lot of us hit when doing client facing work.
Not a creative services provider? Don't worry - a lot of these ideas will work for any type of creative business: maker, artisan, musician. Don't rely on one chicken to fill all your baskets. Have multiple chickens and multiple baskets!
