DAY 5 RECAP of The TheaterMakers Challenge: Amber Iman, Tony Howell, Me and a SURPRISE GUEST!
Day 5 is in the books and boy did we jam the (not so) final day of the challenge with stuff! (If you missed yesterday’s announcement, there WILL Be an extra day added to the challenge! We’ll meet tomorrow at noon to recap the week . . . and give someone an iPad.)
Today we had . . .
- Broadway Actor, Activist, and Award Winning Filmmaker, Amber Iman, giver her five steps on how to start ANY project, including something you have never done before. She did it with her movie that she wrote, directed, and starred in. And she knows you can do it too.
- Branding Guru to the Broadway Stars (including a certain Blogger/Producer you know), Tony Howell taught us the difference between push and pull marketing and how putting tons of content in the world isn’t the only way to build fans, followers, or an audience.
- Our surprise guest, the man behind the Ratatouille viral revolution, TikToker Daniel Mertzlufft, talked about the importance of putting as much care into creating social media content as you’d put into creating a musical or play.
- And I talked about the #1 excuse I hear from most people on why they don’t reach their goals . . . “time.” So I showed everyone my process for finding more time in my day. It’s guaranteed to find you at LEAST one hour a day.
If you missed any of the first five days of The Challenge, you can still sign up here and watch the replays in the Facebook group, which are available right now.
And if you want to skip the challenges and get the EXPRESS version, then sign up here to watch the BONUS DAY tomorrow, Saturday, January 23rd at noon, to hear me recap the tips from ALL 10+ speakers. It’ll be like the Cliff Notes version!
And I’ll do a general Q&A as well.
See you tomorrow at 12 pm EST!
