Note: This is Day 26 in the “Recharge Your Creative Batteries in 31 Days” Challenge. For the rest of July, we’ll be posting different ways for you to get yourself on the path to living in a creative flow and reaching your writing goals. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any.
There are thousands of creative people out there trying to make a living doing what they love. I know you are too.
You have dreams. You have creative goals you want to reach.
And the way you reach them is through having an audience that supports you and what you do.
Being a creative entrepreneur is a gift. You’re offering your creative work to the world and they’re embracing it and supporting you so you can continue to do your work.
That’s why it’s important to support each other, support the work we’re all doing as creative entrepreneurs in the world.
How To Support Another Creative
When you give your support to creative people whose work you enjoy, you’re telling the Universe that you want people to support you and your work. When you give, you receive, that’s how life works.
So here are some suggestions for how you can support your favorite writers, artists, musicians, coaches, etc.:
- Buy their book/artwork/music/program—the easiest, most direct way to support your favorite creative people is to buy the work they do, which allows them to do more of that work
- Tweet a message about how great they are and then link to their website
- Share some of their posts on your Facebook timeline/page
- Join the free programs, calls or webinars they’re hosting—and share a link so others can join too
- Attend a local talk/presentation they’re giving, if you live in their area
- Go to a concert and cheer them on—who doesn’t love live music? Go see your favorite local artist play live next time she has a show
- Comment on their blogs
- Share the articles they post on their blogs

I could not agree more with this post! If you love someone’s work, support it however you’re able to, whether it’s buying what they have to offer or simply sharing the good word about their talent, business or product. I purchased your book “Butt In Chair” not only because I thought it would be a big help to me (and it is!), but because I enjoy your work on this site and want to see it experience even more success. I have recently been fortunate to have my first short film (“Anniversary”) produced. It was funded via the Kickstarter platform, and I was amazed and humbled by the generous support of people who believed in me and my producing partner (I wrote, he directed). So, in light of that, even though I’ve always supported my fellow creatives, my goal going forward is to do even more.
That’s amazing Mary! It’s great to hear you support other creatives. And I know I said this to you before, but congrats again on the film.
