Calling All Creative Entrepreneurs [my first ever video!]

.

Creative Entrepreneur

When in my final high school years people started asking me what I was gonna do for a living, I never knew what to answer. None of the available options (that I knew of) sounded attractive to me. So I opted for going to college because it was the choice with the most freedom involved…or so I thought.  My college years ended with me dropping out and my parents having nightmares about my now surely somber future. I can’t blame them, I actually had the same nightmares but started concentrating on my art because that was what I really wanted to do.

In 2007 I set up Kabai33 (now Creative Web Biz) using WordPress. I wanted to sell my art online.  A year later I attended  a WordPress meet-up here in Berlin, Germany.  @photomatt" href="http://twitter.com/photomatt" target="_blank">Matt Mullenweg, the founder and developer of WordPress was there as well as @Janerri" href="http://twitter.com/Janerri" target="_blank">Janetti Chon of Web 2.0 Expo and @tinythoughts" href="http://twitter.com/tinythoughts" target="_blank">Jody Church, the then community manager of Lifestream.fm as well as lots of other people.  For me it was the first time meeting people who made a living through and with  the internet, blogging and social media.  At the end of the night we set with maybe 7 people on a tiny balcony in Friedrichshain and discovered that almost all of us were college drop-outs. I looked around at all those bright, inspiring people and I knew I was in good company and I never thought leaving college was a bad idea anymore.

Helping Others

Back then I decided to do more than just sell my art online. I wanted to  teach other artists how to use wordpress, how to blog and how to eventually make money with it. So I started writing some blog posts for fellow artists and other creative souls:  blogs to follow if you want to sell art online, how to create a Facebook fan page and some other stuff I had learned while building my own blog. These posts got a lot of attention because there seems to be a real need for this kind of information.

Creative Web Biz Kit

So I decided to take it a step further and actually help creative people set up a blog and start their own online biz and set up  the Creative Web Biz Kit for Artists and other Creative Entrepreneurs. It includes instructions on how to get a web host + the actual site set-up (by me) + 10 preinstalled themes (all designed with artists in mind)  + 10 preinstalled plugins which extend the functionality of your blog so you can sell your creations directly from your site and do other cool stuff. And because I really want you to succeed you will also get a 3 week email course that will teach you how to start and grow your own creative web biz! Sounds good right? Head on over and check it out!
