The Freelancing Pack (WH Self-Study #4)

The Freelancing Pack includes four full seminars that were originally produced for my Writers' Huddle members-only site, and which are now available on a self-study basis.

The seminars are:

Six Reasons to Get Into Freelance Writing, covering:

• The flexibility of freelancing: you can do a few hours here and there
• How freelancing can support the other writing you do
• Why freelancing will build your confidence (even in the less-than-great moments)
• What sort of rates you can expect to charge as a freelancer

Freelance Copywriting and Editing, with Linda Angér, covering:

• What to focus on when you’re getting started in freelance writing or editing
• The importance of asking for (and accepting!) feedback
• How to edit someone else’s work while preserving their unique voice
• How to develop strong public speaking skills (and why writers need them)

Freelancing and Entrepreneurship, with Thursday Bram, covering:

• Taking your first steps into freelancing − the two crucial things you must do
• The biggest, business-killing mistake freelance writers make
• How to set your prices and how to raise them over time
• How to gently end a relationship with a client you no longer want to work with
• Where to find new clients (and why it’s not all about the online world)

How to Find Clients for Your Freelancing, with Carol Tice, covering:

• Getting started in freelancing without working for nothing
• Marketing methods for locating new leads
• Setting realistic goals and targets for your future work
• Avoiding exploitation by scam clients or content mills

All seminars are audio mp3s. Each seminar comes with a full, nicely edited transcript, plus a downloadable worksheet that includes a summary and suggested further reading.
