Are you waiting on someone to freelance for you?

Hi



I want to share something with you that changed the way I approached my freelance work.

When I first started, I would check job boards maybe twice a week. I would see good jobs snapped up and feel like my chances were slipping by. That’s when I decided to stop sitting back and waiting for someone to build my freelance career for me — after all, freelancing isn’t just graphic design, or writing, or academic research. It’s also marketing and paying attention to what people are willing to pay freelancers to do.

I decided to…

  • Check job boards daily (for higher-paying jobs in my niche only)
  • Update my profile regularly with language I saw on job postings I liked
  • Look into quick, cheap courses and newsletters for my skillset and niche

None of that takes a lot of time, but all of them can completely revolutionize your freelance career. Try them out and as always, shoot me any questions you have. Talk to you soon!
