Spending Money For The Business
I spend most of my money for this business. In many ways, I do not or barely make enough back that covers all of those expenses. I don’t think people realize the costs of being a performer. It’s not just paying for headshots and resume copies. Using a computer costs money - either you own one or you have to pay for the time to use one. Having a website is becoming the standard along with business cards. … and there are postcards as well - for the common follow-up after an audition or to give an update to a theatre. You have to market yourself to the best of your ability and it costs money. There are many performers who don’t market themselves. That works for them and they do work … but they know they could work even more if they promoted themselves. It’s true. I wanted to quickly blog about this to bring up this particular journey of expenses any performer will undoubtedly experience if they go for their dreams full force.
