Description
Let's face it.
Freelancing can be tough. Especially when you are just starting out.
On top of everything else you have to figure out:
What systems and processes should you have in place?
What should you include in your written agreements as a bare minimum?
How do you write proposals and handle sales calls?
In fact, how do you get clients in the first place?
And just as importantly...
How do you manage them once you've got them?
Not to mention the thorny issue of what and how you should be charging. And let's not start on the clients who ghost you or the non-payers.
On top of all that there’s another harsh truth that no one wants to talk about...
And it's this:
Getting clients has little to do with how good you are at your craft!
Seriously.
It doesn't matter if you are a phenomenal photographer, a great graphic designer or a marvellous marketing pro...
No matter how talented you are it’s NEVER going to guarantee clients.
Or that you are going to make the money you think you deserve.
And why not, you may well ask?
Because being good at what you do is simply not enough to cut it as a successful freelancer.
You also need to know how to build, market and manage a business.
Fortunately, this course has been specifically designed to walk you through the steps you need to know to become a successful freelancer.
If you are just starting out on your freelance journey or are struggling with your freelance business, this course is for you.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner freelancers
- Freelancers just starting out
- Freelancers who want to work from home
- Freelancers struggling in the feast or famine cycle
