Vibes-based business is the way! Thank you Colleen for your clarity and keeping what can be a disheartening and nerve-wracking process chill. Also thank you Peaches for the cuteness🧡🍑
She says thanks!
I remember i used to work for a signs company and they had an idea of taking pictures of business trucks on the freeway and redesigning them in photoshop and mailing them the results in hope of getting them to come in and wrap their car, turns out people found it extraordinarily creepy and asked to stop. So be mindful of your marketing ideas
That is creepy!
"we're just vibin" - precisely why I started freelancing 🤣 thanks for the content as always!
You're welcome!
Love your content! Could you make a video on how you handle collecting payment? Do you send an invoice? How do you write invoices? Do you use contracts? How can you ensure that a client is actually going to pay?
Yes please, especially the contract!
That is an important topic
This is all in The Freelance Writer's Guide to the Galaxy! thefreelancewritersguide.thinkific.com/
Thank you so much Coleen. Your videos are super helpful and you're such a cool person. And Peaches sooooo cute!
We both say thank you!
Thanks!!!
You bet!
Much thanks
You're welcs!
Well said
Thanks!
Thanks for this amazing and helpful video and ur doggo is sooo cute🧡🍑.
Thank you!! 😊 You are so kind
I'm still pretty new to freelancing but I'd be stoked to have some more recurring clients! I only have had 2 and i think I just scared off one and I just struggle with finding people to cold pitch to
What do you mean you scared them off? What's you're niche?
How do you add blogs to my portfolio on square space for example I have wrote several blogs on medium and would like to display it on my website
Create a new page for each blog post and display those on the portfolio page
I ❤ your 🐕
She says she loves you too!
Peaches! 🥰🥰🥰
She says hi :)
I chose to write about health and fitness niche and I decided I want to pitch to companies or magazines that focus fitness copywriting instead of a specific brand
So you want to be a sub-contractor for health and fitness copywriters?
@@colleenwelsch_ what is a sub-contractor ?
@@colleenwelsch_ yeah I can do that I’m new to the freelance but I been pitching to fitness publications and magazines
@@colleenwelsch_ yes I do
First comment! 🥳
