If you’re tired of your soul-sucking job or you have your own entrepreneurial venture but need to make more money now (because you’re tired of stealing your neighbors car and living off of Ramen Noodles), this webinar was built for you. During this jam-packed 90 minute teaching, you’ll learn how to find paid speaking, teaching, and writing opportunities that you didn’t even know existed. The best part is, you can start finding them right away and making more bankroll almost immediately.
These opportunities not only bring in more money for you, they allow you to live your life on your terms and your timeline so that you can focus on building your career as a writer, actor, director, producer, fill in the creative blank.
The fun doesn’t end there. If you sell a product or service, but find people are constantly trying to undercut you or get you to do it for mere pennies, we’re going to talk about what you can say and do to turn that around. You’re done giving yourself away. You deserve to be paid what you’re worth.
Aside from my time on the streets of Syracuse chasing criminals and crooked politicians (as a reporter, people, mind out of the gutter), I’ve had the pleasure of speaking on stages, hosting masterminds and workshops, and putting up live events for the past fifteen years.
As a writer, I ghostwrite blog posts, books, and other content marketing pieces for other Creatives. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to find these kinds of opportunities, too. The best part? You don’t need prior writing experience.
I’ve discovered that these multiple streams of income are the answer to creating a lifestyle that affords me the time and space I need to write my own scripts and take off for auditions or roles I’ve been cast in.
If you’re tired of the crap job, you want to watch this.
If you’re struggling to get your own small business off the ground, you want to watch this.
But most of all, if you want to learn what it takes to create multiple steams of income that give you the time, money, and space you need to stay true to your talents, you really, really want to watch this.

As the Vice President of Three Point Capital, Viviana Zarragoitia is one of the most prolific financiers who routinely lend on tax incentives, both domestically and internationally, on independent films. She is aware of the rules and regulations of tax incentives in many jurisdictions, and have spoken on numerous panels about tax credits. In this exclusive webinar, Viviana will be teaching what producers should be aware of when working with tax incentives. Although there are minor details that change within each state/country, there are some overall issues that come up in each jurisdiction that producers should be aware of when taking advantage of tax incentives for their film/TV project. These include, but are not limited to, things such as: corporate structure of the company applying for the tax incentive, making sure that costs in-state are qualified spend, working with tax incentive offices during pre-production, production and post-production, submitting final costs in a timely fashion, working with production accountants/CPAs on tracking qualified spend, working with lenders and filing tax returns to claim the incentives.
