You can’t always do everything yourself – Hire good people s11ep18
BONUS GUEST EDITION
Building Credibility in the Creative Field
What does it take to go from 0 to 14 million views? It’s not a “lucky break”it’s a series of strategic investments in your own skills.
In this special bonus episode, I talk to Adam Blotner, the comedy writer and music producer behind the new professional jingles you hear on Zulf Talks. Adam has worked with everyone from Google to Universal Studios, and today he pulls back the curtain on how to monetize your creative talents.
Coach’s Highlight: Listen for the moment Adam performs the voice of Barney the Dinosaura gig he landed within 8 hours of moving to Los Angeles!
The Pro Creative Blueprint
Credibility is Currency: On platforms like Fiverr, a 5-star rating is more than a review; it’s the foundation of trust for big corporate clients.
The Power of the Questionnaire: Success in creative work starts with asking the right questions. Adam’s process ensures he hits the “tone” before he ever plays a note.
Monetizing Joy: Don’t just look for a joblook for a way to apply your joy broadly. Love writing? Try everything from songs to food blog descriptions.
