Creative Plus Business Workshop – Diversify Your Creative Income

Tue 8 Apr

Diversify Your Creative Income is a workshop to help creative professionals think laterally and collaboratively about the best ways to diversify income and make more money from their skills. 

Surviving and thriving financially as a creative practitioner usually means doing more than one thing to make a living – but where to start, and what to do?  

Creatives are usually adept at a range of skills, and with a little brainstorming and guidance those various talents can be turned into diversified revenue. Becoming less reliant on a single source of income, whether that’s a job or government funding, can also open up abundant creative and commercial opportunities for savvy creatives and arts organisations. Diversify Your Creative Income is an interactive workshop that discusses the various ways that creatives can make money and includes practical exercises to help inspire and shape some new ideas.  

Participants will learn all the following, with a focus on arts practice and creative industries: 

  • Where to start? The breakdown of a revenue model that works for a range of activities.
  • Defining your core, complementary and supplementary offerings.
  • Using a skills audit to help inspire new ideas and ways of thinking about making money.
  • The ‘cheat sheet’ – a collection of tried-and-true ideas including online sales, passive income, productifying a service, selling experiences, education, mentoring and more.
  • The Testing Process, and how to identify whether or not these ideas are actually “good”.

This workshop has been designed by creatives for creatives and includes practical activities.  

What do I get? All participants of this workshop also receive:

  • Lifetime access to a Dropbox folder jam-packed with additional resources and helpful links
  • A Marketing Plan Template and Action Plane Template to assist with future marketing
  • Access to additional free webinars to supplement the material covered in the workshop
  • The possibility of further one-to-one business advice, mentoring and support from one of our creative industries business specialist advisors. We have a whole team ready to help!
