The Complete Creative archive
72 business lessons from my podcast, The Complete Creative to help you crush your creative business goals.
If you love lessons from my old The Business of Art podcast, you'll love it even more without commercials or filler. I went through all of my lessons and took out every commercial and filler episode leaving you with just 8.5 hours of actionable goodness.
This course contains:
20 Hard Lessons - the meatier part of the podcast, full of actionable lessons that I learned slogging through the trenches for years.
7 Free Kickstarter Course Episodes - This is my Free Kickstarter Course, showing you exactly how to set up, launch, and fund your campaign in seven episodes. This was the original lead in for my course Crush it On Kickstarter. Even though it says free, it's packed with invaluable information on how to validate an idea, how to find the perfect audience, the best time of year to launch, the most important part of any campaign, and more. While you can get this course for free, this course is the only place you can hear the audio.
10 Episodes on Launching the My Father Didn't Kill Himself Kickstarter Campaign - This was my third campaign and the first since I started the podcast. I gave weekly details on the exact strategies we used to get our campaign 340,000% funded!
4 Ranterludes - These are the rawest episodes that we have available. They are from when I just started the podcast and talk about whether Wannabe Press is profitable, dealing with depression, and more.
31 Kickstarter Tips - These are the 31 best tips for how to set up, market, launch, and fund your campaign. We ran these in conjunction with the Spaceship Broken Needs Repairs Kickstarter and they are packed with actionable content.
In all there are 72 episodes and 8.5 hours of actionable content. No commercials. No filler. Just the best possible advice on how to turn your art career into a business and start making more money today!
