Licensing Characters for Profit: Brad Gosse Interview

Licensing characters for profit is a surprisingly straightforward business to get into. If you're an artist, or know an artist, you can create and protect content which you can then license to niche businesses to help them market their companies.

I speak with Brad Gosse in this quick interview at a networking event about the success he's had with licensing characters such as Brushy Bear in the oral care and dental niches. You can learn from it and apply the ideas to your own niche.

We've been working on this project for about a year, and I have written two Brushy Bear comic book, a song, and other content for Brad's characters. One of the key things we discovered in licensing characters was—as usual—the pain points we thought would be important to the target market were not what the business owners were truly concerned about: "We can get you more new customers" was far less critical than "We can help you reduce patient anxiety so they'll book another appointment and come back," for example.

Setting your cartoon characters up as more "Smokey The Bear" rather than "Mister Clean" is a key takeaway. You want your content to be valid for use across multiple businesses and even niches, rather than being trapped into licensing characters representing and permanently being associated with a single organization.

Make sure you copyright your content: it's inexpensive to do and the protection granted is solid.

Brad Gosse Interview – Entrepreneurial Mindset

Brad Gosse Interview on Entrepreneurial Mindset

I haven't done interviews for awhile. Three people have been on my radar lately to talk with, and fellow business owner Brad Gosse is one of them.

As a business owner and entrepreneur, I've experienced my share of ups and downs, and know how easy it is to fall out of the entrepreneurial mindset.

We can all too quickly fall into the perception of personal weakness, lack of resources, and most importantly--in my opinion--loss of the sense of play.

If you aren't playing and having fun in your business, my guess is you aren't trying new things.

And entrepreneurship is all about trying new things.
