Many of us have to go out and “kill what we eat” so to speak. With the advent of coronavirus threatening to make things difficult for freelancers, consultants, contractors and other denizens of what’s now being called the “gig economy”, I am thinking alot about those of us who make a living as self-employed creatives -

writers

artists

speakers

designers

musicians

and more who make a living in the arts.

As a Digital Action Committee project, I would love to compile practical strategies, not-generic meditations and ideas on what some of you are going to do for what appears to be some rocky roads ahead for the next few months. Whether it’s how you will adjust your marketing and lead generation, your rates, streamline your creative process or how you might reprioritize. I’d like to compile and start sharing this stuff in the next few days. If you include your identity or social handle, I will make sure you get credit for what you share. If you would prefer to stay anonymous, please let me know.

I’ll email out and share through my socials asap and we can take it from there. See the form below.
