#194: October By the Numbers

Nov 7, 2024
25:41

On today’s new regular monthly episode I recap what my business looked like in October. This includes:

  • How much I worked in October.
  • The types of work I did and how I charged.
  • Why a lower-paying passion project can be worth it.
  • My total monthly earnings.
  • How I landed a new anchor client.
  • Why I sometimes break the “freelancing rules” and charge hourly and per word. 

What I Learned This Week: I am not as young as I used to be.
