Probably the biggest quandary for anyone in the entertainment industry, whether you be an actor, musician, filmmaker, comedian or sword juggler is how to make money, while you are waiting for that big break?
It's a terrible dilemma most up and coming entertainers face as they try to keep a flexible schedule and still make the money they need to pay the bills.
As an actor/comedian for 11 years I always had this grinding fear about actually booking a job or even getting an audition because I was so worried about how it was going to upset the delicate balance of my survival level income. I mean seriously, if I actually booked a film shoot that meant going on location I was going to be completely messed up as far as getting those ever mounting credit cards paid. Let's face it, if you get a decent craft services on an indie movie set you're doing great, let alone a paycheck.
Most entertainers pursue their crafts because they have a genuine love and need to do it and since only a small percentage of these people actually make a living off it, let alone roll in the big cash, half the battle is finding a way to make the money to keep going. That's why flexible, at home online businesses can be a real boon to entertainers. The trick is you have to find one that has a fail proof system so you're not wasting a lot of time on another roll of the dice experience.
Red flags you should look out for are sites that offer huge returns with NO WORK. An online business is still a business that you have to work at to make money but you have the bonuses of being able to schedule yourself when you want to and be able to work where ever you are, however much you want. And if you do book a movie, you can come back to it and pick up right where you left off. A good program is structured in the right way, so as time goes on you'll need to do less and less work as the system kicks in.
Plus a system that is created properly will also give you great ideas about how you can really increase your own web exposure AND promote your own products, articles and branding. The IPC System (getmoneyflowingin dot com) is one I recommend. Plus they offer a $5000 "Reward" for anyone who can prove the system doesn't work to make you money.
After finding the right system I was able to put that catering uniform away forever and as I really began to make money I could also put more and more time and effort into my own creative projects. And isn't that what it's all about. Making the money so you can live the life you dream of.
