159: Calligraphy Biz Quick Start. Will this really work for me?


Listen Later

Lots of my students have become successful Pro Calligraphers, but WILL IT REALLY WORK FOR YOU?

I got some very good questions recently from a busy mom who wanted a reality check and asked me:

  • What’s a realistic first-year income for a 5-10hr/week side hustle?
  • Can a busy working mom really make this work?
  • How can new calligraphers stand out and get clients?
  • Should a new business start with local services or online?

My informal answers in this episode and a surprising result? 

My answer to questions two, three and four are the SAME ANSWER and it’s the key to you moving quickly & efficiently with the time you have, so you can start making money instead of spinning your wheels.
