I started the process of writing an ebook for my opt-in gift and began to work on the website. It is going to take way longer than expected; I can already tell. At this point, I wish I had started a month ago when I made the announcement the website and ebook would be done by October 31st.
Another big issue I’m having is that my freelance and performance gigs aren’t coming in as I had hoped (or have in the past). I have one good size client interested, but he is waiting for someone else to be able to book me as a video producer. Normally I get a minimum of one performance gig a week during Halloween, but I have the feeling a few new performers have entered the market and they are undercharging those of us who have been around for a long time.
My goal is to get out of performing magic as my main source of income, but at the moment the wallet is going to be getting pretty tight for the rest of the year.
Accomplished Last Week:
- Worked out a way to keep my contracted gig.
I have been contracted to teach video production at a local high school afterschool program. I did it last year as well and this year I just can’t seem to find anyone students interested. I marketed with posters, announcements over the PA, and going into a few classrooms to promote it. I have about 11 kids on the text message list who say they are interested, but they don’t show up to the meetings.
Good news is I am connecting with the theater teacher (who helped me get this gig) to have some of her students join as part of the theater. We still need to work out the details. - Setup website first draft
I have a WordPress site up, but I still need to write copy, create a few articles, add images, choose a theme, and basically everything else needed for a website. I was hoping to be further along, but I was struggling with getting the theme to look how I wanted it to. - Started the Opt-in E-book
I have the themed picked out, but writing is taking a lot longer than I expected it would take.
This Weeks’ Goals:
- Get contract gig figured out with the theater.
I’m trying to solidify the details to keep my after-school video production program going (mentioned above). We are also shooting a Star Wars video with a 360 camera. That is going to be a lot of fun. - First Draft of the ebook completed.
I need to get the first draft of the ebook completed. The focus is just on the text. If I can get that done, I will be very happy and still on target to finish the ebook on time.
