In This Episode:
When we asked about the biggest challenges in your writing business, many of you said that finding clients was your #1 struggle.
Only second to that was figuring out what to charge and how to get paid.
So today we’re talking all about how to find and price new writing projects.
We’ll deep-dive into how we generate a constant flow of leads, how we figure out what to charge, and how both of these things evolve as our businesses change over time.
Since both of us have very different types of writing businesses, this is a great opportunity to take what we’ve learned individually, and apply it in a way that works best for you.
