People have odd hobbies, and I’ll tell you about one guy’s before we get into 2 complimentary concepts (10K Work and 10X Growth) that you need to know.
Those concepts will help you ask the 4 most excellent and revealing questions at the end of the essay.
And you'll want to save the questions so you can ask them again later.
Better questions lead to better insights, and better insights bring more breakthroughs.
How do savvy freelancers signal their value?
They create juicy offers.
Chances are, you’re already creating significant value for your clients, but that may be hard for them to see, especially for new clients who will make unfair comparisons between you and someone with half your talent, a tenth of your expertise, and a hundredth of your wit and good taste.
Juicy offers make a dramatic and exciting impact on your earning because strategic changes to your packaging communicate higher value to the client.
That was the case for my coaching clients and for me. Now, it’s your turn.
About Austin L. Church
Hi, I'm Austin L. Church, a writer, marketing consultant, and business coach.
I started freelancing in 2009 after finishing my M.A. in Literature and getting laid off from a marketing agency. Freelancing led to a portfolio of mobile apps, tech startup, children's book, branding studio, and consulting practice.
Over the last 15 years, I've made north of $1.8 million as a creative entrepreneur, and looking back, I see so many missed opportunities.
That's why I'm so passionate about stacking up specific advantages and teaching freelancers, consultants, and creators how to do the same.
I want more of us to find our income-lifestyle sweet spot.
