What people are saying about CreateBiz
-
If you are a writer, musician, or other artist and you don't have a digital presence... you should. CreateBiz will walk you through creating your online brand from A to Z. You'll learn how to connect with your customers, audience, or fans to make a difference. And possibly – a future thriving business!
Ginger Bisek, Professional Writer

I've seen SO many "start your own business" schemes over the years. CreateBiz is different. No glowing pie in the sky here – just a good recipe, by people who really understand the problems creatives face. Others often will give you ingredients but not process, or vice versa. CreateBiz is a true cookbook.
Robert Palomo, Folk Musician and Songwriter

CreateBiz puts the process into context in a direct and attainable manner so even a newbie can understand the elements and actions required to forge a future in the music biz online. It's obvious that Dave and Michael have a wealth of experience and it offers a very clear picture of what to do. Very happy to be part of the group!

I learned how to create an effective website, how to write my blog and grow my fan base, and how to effectively email my fans without a hard-sell.

Why you need CreateBiz
If you’re struggling to get people to recognize you, it can feel like it’s you against the world.
You want to make a positive impact with your writing, music or art, to be recognized as good artist, and to be acknowledged by your peers. You want success, and above all, you want connect with people on an emotional level.
But there are thousands of creatives out there competing for the spotlight and sometimes just getting anyone to pay attention to you can seem impossible.
If you’ve struggled with finding a big enough audience that loves and respects you... it pretty much boils down to one single reason – and that’s what you’re doing to get your message out there.
Instead of shouting louder to get over the noise, or buying ads – you want to use what you create to get in front of the right people – the people who will appreciate and support what you do.
It may seem counterintuitive, but you don't want everyone as a fan. Not at first, at least. That's because you really need the early adopters to feel connected to you – like they are a part of what you do. They should feel like they almost own what you do.
Remember that band you liked before anyone else? You felt special, right? Like you were in the know before any of your friends. You want to make people feel like that.
Here's why this is the case… You want your fans to create more fans for you. There's no other way to scale without it. When others are advocating for you on your behalf, creating new fans for you – that's when your creative business takes off.
The only thing standing between you the recognition and attention you desire is building your audience. What can set you apart from all the rest is your audience. Once you establish yourself in the marketplace and start to develop a following, you will find that your audience helps you attract the industry attention that you seek.
When you have an audience, you have the power. Everything starts to shift in your favor. Your audience is an unlimited source of power to help you build traction, attract attention, and create revenue and opportunities that you can only dream of right now.
But you need to have a system and method to build your audience. And it won't happen on its own...
That’s why we developed CreateBiz.
Because we were sick and tired of seeing extremely talented people struggle and never getting to live the creative life that they had the potential for. They give up on their dreams and keep grinding away at their day jobs because they are focused on the wrong thing.
Develop a following of your own and before too long the recognition and attention you receive will provide the motivation to propel you to new heights. Just imagine what it will feel like when people are clamoring for your work or to get to talk with you…
You’re here today because you care about your future. You want that future to involve doing what you love – not just working a job and fitting your passion in on the side. It’s hard to strike a balance between work and your creative pursuits, and we get that.
Get a proven system for building an audience. Sign up now and get the course, the community and the custom guidebooks ($1100 value) for only $497.
