Comedians - How to Earn Income With Coronavirus Shutting Down Clubs

What's up comedians? You probably have NO idea who I am.

Its ok. I promise this will be worth a read.

I grew up in a small logging town and had a really bad family. I failed out of high school and then college twice.

From 30-36, I gave up everything to get my Doctorate in Education.

Know what got me through?

YOU.

Opie and Anthony

Joe Derosa

Boner City with Andrew Dewitt

Patton Oswalt

Steve Simeone

Patrice O Neil (RIP)

Anytime I was stressed as shit, I would listen to you guys and Id realize things are going to be ok. I finished my program and became a business strategist and magazine owner in San Diego.

Cue Scarface joke

Now with Coronavirus, I know a lot of you are impacted. Clubs are closed. Gigs are gone.

But its not the end. In fact, you can turn this into "The Comedy Renaissance"

People need you more than ever. Here is how you are going to turn this into a HUGE win.

1. Leverage your assets - Most of you know some really famous people but are scared to ask them for help. Stop being scared. I started a magazine from nothing. Literally had 5 people MAYBE reading a month, yet I got to interview SEAL Team 6 members, Delta Force, NYT best selling authors, etc. Reach out, set up a video call and TAKE CHARGE. Stop being scared of the Joe Rogans and Howard Sterns of the world and GET A CALL with them.

Stop telling yourself "Oh they are rich and famous, they wouldn't want to talk with me" Bullshit.
We create our own destinies. Believe in yourself enough to create value for them. They will respond favorably.

What can you offer?

*Promotion
*Interviews
*Your audience
*Intros to other famous people in your network

2. Create an online event - Get 6 of your best comedian friends and use Zoom for an online comedy festival. Sell tickets with 3 pricing tiers (offer 1:1s for higher cost tickets) and make a cool graphic. If you guys got me the chance to talk to Joe Derosa or Steve Simeone, Id HAPPILY pay!

3. Release albums again. Remember Adam Sandler? ALL he did on his early albums were goofy skits with his friends and he had one of the top selling albums EVER. Use your creativity. Release some material, some monologues and skits. I promise you, if your stuff is good, your fans will buy.

4. Online roasts are STILL hot. If you are really good at roasting people, you can sell "roast my friend" for a set price. Some of you have a gift for this stuff. Use it.

5. Custom services - Johnny Brennan of the Jerky Boys is STILL selling calls for $150 and is making a killing. There is NO reason you cant do online pranks for sale or if you have good voicework being able to prank people for a fee.

6. Create a show on Youtube. Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn was one of the greatest comedy shows in history. You can get rotating comedy stars and start a subscription based show that talks about current events. Sell tshirts or shoutouts


There are a TON of opportunities for you all. Dont let this beat you. You guys are my inspiration and I LOVE that you get up everyday to make people laugh.

If you are a comedian and need help working on any of these ideas, reach out to me. I wont charge you. I want to see you win. - Rob the Warrior Strategist

Adapting Your Business to Coronavirus.....

The last few weeks have been wild.

Seeing people panic shopping. Events closing. Sports being cancelled.

I've been monitoring world events, governmental response and the intrinsic nature of human actions.

Here are a few things that are occurring and how you can act to adjust your business.

1. Massive events are going to be suspended or cancelled. Online events will surge. If you haven't upgraded your webcam and group broadcasting software, now is the time to do it. Graphic artists will see a resurgence in orders as event graphics will be in high demand.

2. The fitness industry will see a SEVERE drop in attendance at gyms but live online training will spike. Gyms will downsize and the wise owner will invest in video rooms where instructors can train global audiences live.

3. It is VITAL to create passive income streams to augment firings, economic downturn, and reduced staffing and employment. Digital courses, Ebooks, online events are a great way to keep the cash flowing through your company. (If you ever have any questions, I have a complete program teaching 12+ income streams The Destiny Project Link)

4. Teleworking will be an option used by many employers. Learning new on demand skills like coding, design, and chatbot creation will keep you in demand as a potential tele-employee.

Its a weird time. Headlines are intimidating. Don't let it get in your head. Keep being you, helping others, and things will improve over time.

Here is a GREAT Youtube video that can help you start your first online course.
