Today, voiceover businesses look WAY different than they did decades, and even years ago. You have to be able to sell yourself. This is why you need to know how to network.
This method is when you approach a situation specifically for the purpose of raising awareness about your voiceover business so that you can help others with their businesses.
Networking in person is being a connector, helping other without the expectation of being helped in return - this goes a long way here.
This method involves ways that you connect with your "low-hanging fruit"—voiceover events and meetings, contact list, etc.
In this module, you will learn what an email list is, how to use it effectively, and what you need to build one.
You get to choose when, how, and how often you are “coming across” your clients’ and potential clients' minds.
To get TRACTION, having an email list isn’t just the physical list itself. It’s the PROCESS of actually engaging and having meaningful, regular interactions with the people (not the businesses) on it.
In this lesson, Carrie discusses different scenarios and tips on how to reach out and respond to emails.
This lesson helps you to justify your rates and pitches for your professional VO services.

In marketing, you can use phone, voicemail, email, LinkedIn, in-person, and any combination of these things.
Remember that as you go through this lesson and formulate your strategy, you’re always going to be modifying and updating your outreach strategy. And that's expected.
