Discover how Mark and his cofounder built Gigsalad from a side business to a $1M company with 10 employees before leaving their other projects. And hear how an ingenious business model with a two-fold revenue stream keeps them bootstrapped, with their talent and customers highly satisfied.

Mark Steiner is the co-founder and CEO of GigSalad. As chief visionary, he leads the company’s business and marketing strategy, focusing on building a strong customer-centric team and connecting with strategic partners. His career in the entertainment industry has spanned more than thirty years, including a decades-long stint booking high-level talent for performing arts centers, festivals, concerts, and corporate events through the agency he founded. Mark is the recipient of the Goodwill Games Peace Prize for a product he created to teach racial equality to children.

Many creatives may reach a point where they realize they want to try something different, that's outside of their current creative career education and experience, but are not sure how to make the leap. In this episode we talk to Mark Steiner founder of the successful startup, GigSalad, an online market place for entertainers of all types to land gigs for various types of events. Mark started off being an Actor, then a Talent Agent, until one day he realized he wanted to combine his talent to form a startup. Mark tells us his story of his Creative career pivot, and how he got to where he is today. Visit GigSalad: https://www.gigsalad.com/ Visit our Blog: www.creativehoney.org.

In the 16 years I've worked with for profit and nonprofit businesses, particularly in radio, media, and the entertainment industry. There are a few key things that make for thriving organizations.I knew from the first conversation I had with Mark Steiner at GigSalad that he had cracked the code too. In this podcast episode we both share our perspectives on what makes growth work for entrepreneurs, small businesses, artists & musicians. We find common ground and a lot of perspective that helps to put the art of Growth Farming to work.Mark Steiner On The DIY Artist Route PodcastPart of what put me on Mark's radar is the platform he created and owns that is a marketplace for both musicians, entertainers, and speakers to land better gigs. Every musician I talk with struggles to figure out how to get booked at better venues and how to make their tour schedules work. GigSalad is one method that musicians, artists, entertainers, and motivational speakers can use to land more gigs. Building your reputation in the process is also what drives growth and success here.I wanted to talk with Mark Steiner because of GigSalad but also because he's an entrepreneur who has illustrated very specific key points to the Growth Farming method. One particular point he's lived out is illustrated about 35 minutes into the podcast where we discuss the difference between being selfish and loving yourself:“If you truly love yourself in the purest sense of the word, that you’re patient with yourself, you’re kind, not rude, you have compassion and love. Then the absolute natural, the absolute natural manifestation of that is love that you give to others. It just oozes out of you. So if you have people who are not expressing love then they’re not loving themselves.”Throughout our conversation you hear a man who has come to terms with life itself, battled his own sense of identity and made some amazing discoveries in the process. We also talk about the idea of the Heart Garden, which is core to Growth Farming as a means of success.Inside each and every one of us is a garden. The fruits that come forth out of our lives (our words, actions and attitudes) come from what we plant inside of us. Mark's success in his business as an artist and entrepreneur illustrate his growth in building the right kind of garden.One of the past DIY Artist Route Podcast guests, Steve Palfreyman, shares a similar ethos. There's a lot here that pertains to emotional intelligence, which is a key point to success for any entrepreneur, business, or organization. It's very much what Mark says here:“I know my strengths and what I’m good at and I follow what comes natural to me, which is emotional intelligence. I’m comfortable there. I can talk about my feelings and other people’s feelings and relationships. I think those are the driving forces to any successful business.”There's a lot of joy that is gleaned from this podcast experience. There's also a lot of wisdom. What does it take for you to really build success over time, cultivate strong relationships with people to open new doors, and see real fruits come forth? Adopt the method and advice that Mark Steiner illustrates in this conversation.More On GigSalad & Growth OpportunitiesOn a side note, I've been using GigSalad as a way to get my name out for more opportunities and the system is well setup. Their support team is a group of fantastic people who are easy to work with and will help you along the way. I really believe in this marketplace, and I'm not being paid to say that.You can get more info on Mark and get signed up for free to use GigSalad here.

John Kenney – From Disney to Dueling Pianos John is an Entrepreneur. John quoted Jeremy Frandsen, from the Internet Business Mastery Podcast, the longest running internet business show. Jeremy advises “the only way to FAIL is to quit”. John started his first business “Dueling Piano School”. He created a podcast and a membership academy to teach the basic of duelling pianos. The academy provided video courses on jazz piano lessons. He found that the niche was not large enough. It was not validated. Another venture was as a lifestyle coach and as a writer. Jeremy Frandsen wanted to visit DisneyWorld. John was working at Disney and he created a programme – how to negotiate Disneyworld. Avoiding the queues. For example, after the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom, the park stays open a couple more hours – when the queues are low. John created Cast Member Secrets. John's offer was a $17 ebook called “Cast Member Guides to Walt DisneyWorld” a list of should and shouldn't do to get the most out of your trip to Disneyland in Florida. John did not overly plan his business, after a few attempts at blogging, he attended New Media Expo and came back with an idea for the 5 day a week podcast 10-15 minutes in length. Soon he had 50-100,000 downloads per month. That was AMAZING! It was very challenging for John. What went wrong. John couldn't see a way to scale it. The information he was getting lagged actual changes at Disneyland. This made previous podcasts and ebooks going out of date. John attracted a lot of haters. They were being very judgmental. Pat Flynn, another top podcaster says that just means you are doing something right. After trying to sell the ebook for several months he'd netted $200 in 3 months and decided to call that business done. At the same time, his passion for dueling pianos came up. Even with lots of encouragement, John was cautious. He didn't want to continually in bars, where dueling pianos are chiefly heard. Somebody asked them to do a wedding. John branched out into weddings and conferences. He played and got paid a month's salary in one night. Slowly overtime he and his partner got gig and gig. He hired a business coach and help from Jason Van Orden and in the 100 days leading up to John quitting his job he now knows: What he is doing with his leads He knows exactly where they are coming from He knows how much they cost him He knows what kind of systems to have in place so when they come in he can easily convert them John is going all-in on this business. He plans to hire a virtual assistant. Leads are coming in more rapidly. He comments about his website (does yours do the same thing?) People are finding him and loving what they do His website makes sense to whoever is coming to it It gets them excited about hiring duelling pianos Where price is not so much a barrier to hiring him because they are seeing the value he is able to give his customers The first step in his sales process is getting people to love duelling pianos: Especially for a wedding My fiancé and I met at a duelling piano bar It starts with the guys in bars creating love for duelling pianos. And that might not be John himself, he is leveraging the work of others! Most of his leads come from Google Plus Gigmaster.com and GigSalad.com – where people are looking for events Some from Facebook – he promotes his page by promoting with articles. He promotes every 3 months. If he pops up every 3 months, as opposed continuously (which didn't work as well) Google ads land on his website The first thing most visitors do is WATCH A CLEAR VIDEO ABOUT HIS SERVICES – people want to see him in action Based on that video they can request a client He has testimonials He is getting organic searches from Google because he is No 1 in the Orlando area. How else does John attract business? He performs live. He nurtures introducers – photographers,
