“Even if you don’t think you’re good at networking… you can do it in a more genuine way, and that is by really sincerely wanting to help.”

- Shinah

This is the final remix episode of 2021 — and this remix is all about how to land your first clients in your creative business, whether this is your side hustle or your dream career.

If you’re ready to start selling, I recommend you grab a pen!

I’ve been a creative entrepreneur for the last six years, and throughout that time I’ve sold calligraphy products and services to individuals and corporations. I’ve done work for intimate weddings and large business events. I’ve sold online and at pop-up markets.

And the clips in this remix contain insights on how to attract all sorts of customers!

You’re going to have to really put yourself out there. And yes, you’re going to have to get used to rejection (especially at first)! But nothing beats the feeling of growing your own creative business — and I KNOW you’ve got this!

If you’re just tuning into the show this month, this is a great opportunity to catch up on some of the topics that I covered during the first season. If you caught the show every week, these remix episodes will remind you of the tips and tricks that you may have forgotten. Either way, subscribe now to never miss an episode as we head into Season 2!

• How to leverage your network to connect with potential clients  
• The importance of bringing a little *extra* something to your pitch  
• The most important benefit of selling at craft fairs (and it isn’t the revenue)!
