Whether you work in music, theatre, literature, film, television, radio, journalism, new media or video games, a self-employed career in entertainment or media can be fast-paced, exciting and highly fulfilling. However, the competitive nature of these fields can often mean having to go the extra mile to build relationships and secure jobs, and it’s not uncommon for individuals in some roles to find themselves out of work for periods of time. Whether you’re enjoying a thriving and lucrative entertainment or media career or you’re just getting by, it’s important to be smart when it comes to your finances in order to make your money go further.
Self-employment comes with its own unique challenges. It can be difficult to stay on top of your day-to-day accounting and planning your finances so that you’re covered for sickness, holidays and times when work dries up. This is especially true if you lack the necessary money-management skills. In any case, your time is probably better spent building your portfolio, auditioning for roles, networking and the like. So, how do you make it all work?
