So many of us are insanely good at making art, but constantly struggle to make ends meet in our businesses. If you’ve been around for a while, you may have heard of Patrick Moreau, from Muse Storytelling.

When John and Nick got started, they learned so much from Patrick, as he was running Stillmotion. His knack for storytelling was insanely good. The only problem is that he wasn’t profitable in his company. That was, until he hired a new CEO to help him become profitable.

In today’s episode, we chat with Patrick, and the CEO of Muse, Rebecca Rapple all about becoming profitable as filmmakers!

At HTFW we talk a lot about the Crockpot Method. The slow and steady drip into your business, letting it simmer and grow over time. This is the hardest, yet best way to build your business. What we don’t talk about a lot is paid ads, and how to grow your business faster.

In this episode, we break down the two types of traffic: the traffic you earn (crockpot), and the traffic you buy (paid ads, etc.). We break down the platforms we think you should be using for your wedding business, the strategies you should take, and much more in this jam packed episode of the How To Film Weddings Podcast.
