Ladies Who Launch

We’re dedicating the month of August to the topic of creativity and its many incarnations. One of the main issues surrounding creativity is how to capture and monetize it in a way that keeps you passionate and excited about the process, but also realistic about creativity as a business.
Our goal was to talk to as many creatives as possible and better understand how they are profiting from their creative contributions. This ranges from commercial creatives (like graphic designers or copywriters) to industry-specific creatives (Hollywood screenwriters, producers, or even bloggers). Learning to profit from your creativity is one of the most satisfying accomplishments because you’ve taken your talents and gifts and found a way to make them a livelihood. Is there anything better?

Here at Ladies Who Launch we’re dedicated to providing tools, resources, and new platforms for women to seize this entrepreneurial spirit and use it to move their lives forward. It doesn’t mean that all “art” requires a revenue stream, but sometimes putting the power of the purse behind a creative project creates a new motivation that fuels productivity and inspiration. Art for art’s sake is also good. We celebrate it all. Mostly, though, it’s critical to find a way to express your creative side, in all of the ways that work for you. We just want to help you do it!
