Mike Provenzano is making $167,000 a year creating content from his home in Florida. He started during COVID as a side hustle and now considers traditional acting his "side gig."
What you'll discover in this episode:
- The accidental goldmine: How one casual "yes" turned into $15K in six months, then exploded to $20K per month
- Equipment that pays for itself: Why Mike's investment in professional cameras, lighting, and teleprompters wasn't an expense—it was a profit multiplier (and how cheap gear was costing him thousands)
- Business like a boss: Mike reveals his invoicing system, how he tracks $30K in receivables, and why he's forming an S-Corp to hit $250K next year
- Your secret weapon: Actors already know framing, lighting, and performance—giving you an unfair advantage over everyday content creators
- Perfectly imperfect wins: UGC clients don't want polished perfection. They want real, relatable humans. Your "ums" and stutters? They're actually selling points.
- Living the dream: Mike ditched Jersey winters for Florida sunshine, works poolside, golfs weekly, and still chases his Hallmark Channel goals
Mike doesn't hold back—he shares the truth about nightmare clients, payment chasing, and learning to fire the wrong people. But more importantly, he reveals how to build real wealth while maintaining creative freedom and choosing only the projects you actually want.
This is THE episode to fuel your 2026 goals.
