Have you ever thought about teaching what you know? If you make a living singing, creating music or speaking, your financial situation is on roller skates. It's wise to develop alternative streams of income, and teaching your skills to others could be a win-win stream of good. For this episode, I interviewed artist mentors Bree Noble and Katie Zaccardi about their upcoming event to help artists do just that. First, they offer a quiz to help you narrow down what kind of skills you could best teach. Then they will hold a free workshop/challenge for launching your new income stream. Here are the links:
