Most marketing advice for freelancers you find online is garbage.
By garbage, I mean it stinks, it’s mostly worthless, and you shouldn’t touch it.
The “advice” consists of platitudes, which are neither actionable nor helpful.
Freelancers deserve better, so I wrote this post which covers real ways to find clients.
Can I help you with your pricing?
I spent over 100 hours putting a talk together, and I’m giving it for free this Thursday, February 27, from 1:30 to 2:30pm Eastern (GMT-5).
My task was squeezing 15 years’ worth of thinking, conversations with other freelancers and consultants, and pricing process into 45 minutes.
Despite the challenge and the monster of a Notion doc that resulted, complete with 5 different versions of the talk, I’m proud of the end result, “Lettuce Talk Money: Growing Your Prices (and Profits) with Purpose.”
Come hang out with me at the Solo Summit hosted by my friends at Lettuce Financial .
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.
