Business for the Right-Brained, Funding in Progress!

[haikujaguar.livejournal.com]

I've started a project on IndieGoGo to get my business book for creative types into print! This book is based on my "Three Micahs" columns of business advice, which I launched here on livejournal in monthly installments illustrated with the cartoon jaguars Artist, Business Manager and Marketer. Here's the current table of contents (which may expand if we go over our goal!):

1. Introduction
2. Many Roles
3. Products
4. Know Thyself (and Have a Plan)
5. The Day Job
6. Metrics, Part 1: Tracking
7. Metrics, Part 2: Trending
8. What I Wish Someone Had Told Me When I Graduated College
9. Enlisting the Aid of Your Inner Customer
10. Time Management
11. Unslimy Marketing
12. Pricing (or, the 99 Cent E-Book)
13. Communication
14. Brand
15. Afterword

It's day 6 of 40, and we're already at $1475 of our $3000 goal. Prizes include electronic and print versions of the book, original art, and even yourself cartooned into a crowd scene in the back. If you're in the market for a humorous book on running a creative business, come check it out!

Three Micahs is my most-recommended nonfiction resource for crowdfunding, aside from some stuff I've written myself. It's really useful and precise about creative business issues. I may not be able to scrape up a donation but I've been boosting the signal for this project. I really hope it reaches the goal!
