Two strategies to help you maximize revenue, minimize work, and create a sense of stability around your indie filmmaking business.
Today on Filmmaker Freedom, how to approach building an audience for your films, and do it in a way that leads to sustainable revenue with minimal work.
That might sound like a hyperbolic promise, but I guarantee you it's not.
There are two foundational missteps that entrepreneurial filmmakers tend to make when building audiences, and these strategic errors limit how much you can earn from your films, while dramatically increasing the amount of work you have to do.
Basically, if you're not careful, you might end doing more work for less money. And that's no bueno.
So today, you're going to learn a concept that I call the dichotomies of audience building, and come out the other side with a smart, strategic approach that will serve you well in your entrepreneurial filmmaking journey for years to come. Enjoy :)
Each solo episode of Filmmaker Freedom (not the interviews) has a complete written transcript so that you can revisit the ideas quickly and easily.
You can find those transcripts, as well as the full archive of shows, right here:
Every Sunday morning, I send out a handful of stories, carefully picked to help you make films you care about, build a business, and master your psychology. Plus I share a short film I love, and various other bits of inspiration. Get it here:
