Free Money is worth a read, even for long-time freelancers, because it tells you exactly how to calculate prices to suit the business and life you want.
What’s your Survival Rate? What’s your Dream Rate? How do you actually win projects at your Dream Rate?
That’s the practical stuff Free Money covers, and readers tell me I managed to make the read both helpful and entertaining.
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.
