Exploring Alternate Revenue Streams with Dustin Lee

Alternate Income Streams. Using your gifts on different platforms. Finding revenue streams through relationships and friendships. Get connected to many designers and illustrators. Passive Income for designers. Trying your hand with patreon. Launching courses through Patreon, a subscription based model. Getting connected within an industry. Episode 270. Aired September 26, 2018. This week I am excited to have my good friend Dustin Lee back on the show. Dustin and I have been friends for years and I have seen his business grow and change. I think it is due to his always trying to improve and his connectivity within the industry. He spends a lot of virtual time with other people and listening to what they need, then creates products to fill those needs. He also is on the popular weekly podcast, The Honest Designers Show, and talks to other entrepreneurs in the industry. I love this podcast! @honestdesigners One of those projects was a course he launched a few years ago called Passive Income for designers. He was asked by LinkedIn Learning (previously Lynda.com) to do a version of that course for them. When we met recently, we got to chatting about Patreon, so this episode is going to talk about alternate areas you can tap to spread out your income sources, which is always a good idea.
