Surviving Creativity

Surviving Creativity, a podcast launched in November 2013, provides a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of building a career in online content creation. Hosted by Scott Kurtz, a cartoonist with over two decades of experience self-publishing his work, the podcast delves into the often-unseen aspects of the digital creative world. Kurtz utilizes his extensive network, interviewing fellow creators about their journeys, offering practical advice, and sharing personal insights. While the podcast boasts a dedicated community of 210 members, with 8 currently supporting the content financially, generating an estimated $24-$80 monthly income, its value lies in its candid and relatable discussions. Unlike many podcasts focused solely on technical tips, Surviving Creativity offers a human element, exploring the emotional and strategic considerations involved in building a sustainable creative career. This intimacy and focus on community interaction have helped to establish Surviving Creativity as a valuable resource for creators at all levels.
