Building A Business In The Online Space – Part II – Artists/Celebrities and Freelancers

In this series of articles, I am introducing new ways on the internet to work when your job will get blown away through the disruption announced.

I, first of all, write about the current mindset most of us carry around with us and the options we think we have to then dive into the new world setup.

 

In this second part, I focus on Artists/Celebrities and Freelancers as independent individuals acting in the free market.

As written in Part I, building a sustainable business is mainly about 2 things:

  1. Good products with good revenue.
  2. A big market interested in the product, where you can attract your niche.

As a third requirement, I add a PLAN to the list.

 

What are the products you could sell? What is your plan?

I start with 2 examples also from experience and focused on the old world setup.

Building A Business In The Online Space – Part I – Introduction

 

I see lots and lots of people in the online space and I doubt most of them have a plan about how to make a business out of posting, engaging and shooting selfies.

 

The common slogan constantly appearing „work smarter not harder“ is easy said but what is smart in the online space.

Many listen to Garyvee these days and he is without a doubt a genius but I think sometimes he gets way over the head of somebody who is just starting and trying to get a business running in the online space.

It is hard to work smart and I still have no exact formula but I want to bring up some ideas about what does not work and what is proven to work.

What is your plan to make it?

How Will We Change The Waste Problem?

Plastic Waste

How will we change the waste problem?

WE HAVE TO MAKE A BUSINESS OUT OF CLEANING OUR PLANET FROM THE WASTE PROBLEM!

Investments have to start flowing into the right directions!

The climate change topic popped up a long time ago. I remember well the initiatives about even worse greenhouse emissions through gases in sprays, being identified for causing the atmospheric ozone leak when I was a kid in the 80s.

Then the waste problem was not getting too much awareness. The world was not global like it is today. Plastic was the driver of our wealth and just becoming the solution to everything in our consumption-driven society.

Waste was still not considered as the big issue it has become over the last 40 years of my life.

Society came out of world war 2 and was starving for wealth. Consumption started to arise through the new possibilities of the 3rd industrial revolution.

The generation of my parents, being born in the time of world war 2 still used mostly natural products when being kids. Electricity was still far away from being mainstream in all households.

Since then, their generation and my generation mainly caused pollution and waste on our planet. We introduced this consumption craze to the next generations, leaving them without a Joyce.

Don’t you feel a responsibility?

Climate Change – A Bigger Picture

Climate Change

 

It is incredible how many people from normal to celebrities still deny climate change but fortunately, awareness is rising.

Some days ago I took the elevator in our building and it was cold outside. There was this couple in the elevator and I just dropped the comment that it is cold outside. Just some small talk. It was the moment when temperatures dropped to -45°C this year in Chicago. I lost the context but the girl said: „Oh everybody is shouting out when it gets a little cold. I grew up in Kanada and changes in the climate have always existed“. What I want to point out, is that it is not just Donald Trump denying climate change. Normal people also defend our behavior to be decoupled from the current climate change we obviously face and the destabilization of our ecosystem.

Global warming is proven now by scientists. I think we should not just worry about global warming but about cumulation of extreme climate situations and coupled effects.

Disrupt With Your Story – Write A Book

Write A Book

I got no Idea why I just started to write a book 2 weeks ago.

For more than a year I tried to figure out, what and how I want to write, what content to produce, but without the intention to specifically write a book.

Is it blog posts and should they be long or short or should I do videos on Youtube or start a podcast. What should it be about?

Maybe you are also at a point, where you think about writing a book or you are a step ahead and have published successfully before.
I would be glad to hear about your experience during the process!
