[...] Take advantage of the Warhol Economy. Andy Warhol created a movement that revived New York City. City planners took advantage of the burgeoning art scene to create incentives that attracted more businesses to the parts of New York that were dying. There are cities all over the country that are desperately trying to attract artist communities to their cities. You can read more about it in Elizabeth Currid’s PhD dissertation turned book, The Warhol Economy (which, by the way, is a great example of how to turn your god-given talents in to money). [...]

This is exactly what I did. I work for a television station producing commercials, promos, etc. When the folks at corporate decided I didn’t need a promotion for the loads of new work I was taking on, I decided it was time to start earning money on the side doing exactly the same type of production work. I made sure that the work I did was in different markets, as to not be a conflict of interest for my full-time job. But with just word of mouth, I’ve brought in an extra $1000 each year. That’s just doing two or three projects a year.

I’ve noticed the tricky part is really taking that freelance business and pushing it to people you don’t know. I’ve seen a lot of interest but no commitments yet.

I don’t care where they live, I just want it good quality at a good price. My goal is not to provide a job to a specific region of the USA, it’s to get my work done.

Here’s a thought Ramit. Why not invest in those rural areas of america, we are not as socially connected yet we have an immense amount of knowledge. Essentially, seek out those who live in lower cost of living areas, we will charge probably 75% less to do the same thing as those living in, let’s say NY. For example, Northeast Iowa has a sense of responsibility to family, so those who go away for college generally return to families with an education, experience so on and so forth. So, for someone in your position looking for someone to do your PowerPoint presentation, my advice is to seek the rural communities talents.

@Kris Koon – great story, and so true. Made me chuckle, even if not in a good way! “Experiences” like a cruise are so important to many of us, but getting there requires daily discipline and often some sacrifice. Eventually I bet your friend will reach a time in his life when his priorities change!
