Making Money In Your PJs: Freelancing for Voice Actors and other Solopreneurs
Every day, I see aspiring voice-overs treat their new dream job as a hobby and fail miserably. It's not as easy as it seems. People need more than pleasant pipes to make a living as a voice actor. They have to have business acumen in order to succeed. It's the stuff nobody teaches you in voice-over school that can make or break a career. That's precisely the focus of my book.Making Money In Your PJscovers topics such as:- Transforming a hobby into a profession- Successfully promoting a business online and offline- Turning potential customers into clients- Pricing services for profit- Getting paid on time, every time- What to do when business is slow- How to stand out from the competitionThese are topics that not only voice actors need to address. They apply to practically anyone who is self-employed. Although this book is written from the perspective of a voice-over, any solopreneur will benefit from chapters on freelancing, marketing, handling clients, and money management.Making Money In Your PJsis neither a "get-rich-quick by doing voice-overs guide," nor a step-by-step course that will take the reader from voice-over novice to top talent in three days. Rather, it is a practical, personal, and often humorous account of what life is really like behind the mic.
