Everyday VOpreneur® with Marc Scott

It's not an exaggeration to say I'd be lost without my CRM. Since I started using it, it's become one of the most important tools in my day to day basis operations... period. I don't think I'd ever be able to manage my direct voice over marketing efforts without it.

In this episode, I dive a little deeper in what CRM is, and I provide 10 different aspects of my CRM that I couldn't live without. My CRM of choice, by the way, is Nimble.

Whether it's creating graphics for social media, eBooks and PDF's for free downloads and resources, visuals for YouTube livestreams or even the slides for the courses I teach and presentations I give, graphic design tools are a huge part of my voice over business.

There are a few resources and websites that have become invaluable to me, and I know they can be a great asset for you as well. Particularly if you're currently a content creator, or an aspiring content creator.

We continue on with the Tools Series. I'm doing episodes highlighting the tools, apps, services and resources I use on a daily basis to run my voice over business. This week I'm digging into some time management and scheduling tools that I'd be lost without.

I'm often asked about all the different resources, services, tools and apps I'm using to run my business on a day to day basis. All the things that keep me productive and help me get so much done. Over the next few episodes, I'm going to highlight many of those tools in my toolbox.

This week, I'm starting off with payment methods. I offer my voice over clients a number of different ways to pay their invoices. I figure the more options available, the easier it becomes to get paid. So far, that theory has paid off.

I've often said Accountability is the secret sauce for a successful business. When you have all the other tools and resources you need, the voice over demos, the home studio, great coaching and a stellar website, accountability can be the missing ingredient that helps push you to the next level.

You need a system in your business to make sure you #DoTheThing.

Jennifer Antkowiak is currently part of three different accountability groups, and has participated in others in the past. She's been a leader and a member. She's got plenty of great advice to offer on how to build accountability into your work routines.

We all have dreams of our voice over website landing on page one of Google. But is it just that... a dream? Or is it possible for a VOpreneur to put in the effort to actually build their on page SEO and truly land on page one of the results?

If you want more voice over income, you need more voice over work. If you want more work, you need more voice over auditions. If you want more auditions, you need more voice over leads.

Nadia Marshall is going to help you with that. In this interview we cover all the bases of lead generation. Both doing it yourself, and outsourcing it to someone else. You'll get plenty of tips and tricks you'll be able to start using to help your own lead generation efforts.

A big part of the job of a voice actor is auditioning. In fact, some might say auditioning is the job. Submit great auditions... submit more auditions... book more voice over work... earn more money. It's a fairly simple formula.

The question then becomes, "how do I submit better voice over auditions?" Well, I'm glad you asked, because my guest this week has some great advice to help you do just that.

Brad Hyland is a very successful voice actor who also happens to be crushing it on casting sites. In this interview he offers up tips specifically for submitting better auditions on voice over pay to play sites, as well as for auditioning in general.

What does success look like for an Everyday VOpreneur? How do you define it? Then, once you've defined it, how do you get there?

Eli Schiff recently shared a little of his journey in the VOpreneur Facebook Group and I was inspired by it. So much so that I immediately reached out to him and asked for an interview.

To often, I think we have a distorted view of success and the success journey, courtesy of social media and a daily barrage of posts from our friends and colleagues whom all appear to be crushing it. 

After you listen to this interview, I hope you'll give yourself a little bit of a break and a little bit of grace.
