How Soon Will You Open for Business?
Hello Entrepreneurship for Creatives graduates! I hope everyone is having an exciting summer so far, complete with planning and preparation for opening your new small business sometime very soon.
I wanted to check in with everyone and see how you were progressing. I know several of you have already met with the folks over at SCORE - great job.
How many of you have decided to put a business plan together? Who has done some research on feasibility or began to put together information on your target audience and marketing materials?
Please share your progress with the group. It only takes a few minutes to post a comment here on this blog - and the information you share could be extremely beneficial and helpful to someone who may be struggling. OR, you're post just might be the encouragement and support that makes all the difference.
Let us know how you are doing!

New website for artists, musicians, fashion designers, and filmmakers.
Check out a new website for artists, musicians, fashion designers, and filmmakers: www.PutItOn.com. Basically, the site allows artists from all over the world to connect, display their portfolios, and sell their work (with NO commission taken!). The site gives artists a FREE gigabyte of space to showcase their portfolios, allows you to stream audio and video works, lets you create live personal broadcasts, and translates any writing into ten different languages. I think E4Cs will especially appreciate the Artist's Submission Agreement.
