# Making Money In Your PJs - A Must Read!

## [Making Money In Your PJs - A Must Read!](https://stevenjaycohen.com/journal/making-money-in-your-pjs-a-must-read)

    14th May 2014   [voiceover](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:voiceover#body-wrapper)  

As a long time reader of [Nethervoice](https://www.nethervoice.com/nethervoice/), Paul Strikwerda’s blog, I could not wait to get my copy of his new book, [Making Money In Your PJs: Freelancing for voice-overs and other solopreneurs](https://amzn.to/1j6tcLF). And, let me tell you right now, the book does not disappoint.

[![Paul Strikwerda](https://stevenjaycohen.com/user/pages/files/2014/05/13952651227_d140f8b555_m.jpg)](https://amzn.to/1j6tcLF)The chapters are the distilled wisdom of a long-time successful [freelancer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freelancer "Freelancer") who happens to work in voice-over. And that is the essential difference between this book and a lot of what is out there being marketed to [voice talent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_acting "Voice acting").

This book is not just for voice actors!

This book is about solo entrepreneurship and everything that entails. It covers subjects ranging from: [should you turn your hobby into a business](https://www.nethervoice.com/2014/03/19/turning-a-hobby-into-a-business/), to handling failure; from [working for free](https://www.nethervoice.com/2012/10/24/work-for-free-for-charity/), to [cold calling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_calling "Cold calling"); from dealing with amateurs, to… Well, you get the idea.

The lessons in these pages are essential for anyone striking out on their own, be they an actor, an artist, a web-app developer, or even a [business consultant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_consulting "Management consulting"). Paul teaches you how to treat your passion as a business without losing that edge that got you hooked on it in the first place.
