Magicians: Make More Money
No Stone Left Unturned . . . it’s all about assuming you have a marketable show. Let’s say that’s true. Then what. That is the question I attempt to answer every month with this column. We cover everything from how to manage your bookkeeping to how to close deals, how/where to advertise, how to upsell, overcome objections, how to get more gigs and repeat customers, etc. I’m by no means the ultimate authority on such a vast subject. However I have at my disposal, things I’ve tried that have worked and failed. I have my close magic friends who have also gained and lost gigs with their experiences. I’ve also published ideas that I’ve never tested, but felt had potential. Further, there are other experts out there who have had a lot of experience as well. On occasion, I’ll bring one of them in and let them write an article.
This month, at the risk of seeming to cop out, I’m going to recommend a book for you. Further, I’m going to send you off to my affiliate link to it. So if you happen to it, I’ll get a small commission. Hopefully, however, by now I’ve earned your trust. I don’t promote a product unless I feel it’s of real value. I call a spade a spade, and I’m not afraid to say that a product sucks regardless of the author. I’m also not afraid to say that a product is valuable regardless of the author.
The book recommended below is a book that I personally bought and have found valuable. I’ve not completed it yet. However, I’ve already found several ideas and tips and suggestions and strategies that are very much worth the price.
Granted, it has a lot of hype and maybe even some “fluff.” However, it also has a ton of valuable information. Do I think you’ll become a millionaire after reading it? Nope. Do I think you’ll earn more money as a magician after your read it than before you read it? Yep . . . a lot more. So look beyond the hype you’re gonna see when you link off to his site, and take my recommendation. Anyone looking to grow his/her magic business, get more gigs and make more money as a magician should read this book.
