The Marketing Freelancer: Unicorns Unite

One of the reasons I love to offer marketing services is I saw very quickly in my freelancer career that if I leaned into marketing and less management, less operations, and less admin, then I had more freedom. Marketing really lends itself to getting ahead. Even if your clients are requiring a weekly task, you can get organized, you can systematize, you can batch things, and you can work on your schedule.  My guest today, Toyin Alli, has a really good marketing service that you could offer as a freelancer that gives you (and your client) that time freedom. Toyin is a math professor and business owner who runs The Academic Society and helps grad students with time management and productivity. She’s figured out how to run a couple of businesses at the same time and serve her clients with Evergreen Newsletters. In this episode, you’ll learn more about Setting up profitable evergreen newsletters that generate consistent revenue and nurture lasting customer relationships How to leverage email marketing for time freedom and scale your business without sacrificing your personal life Post-launch email marketing strategies that can increase customer retention The benefits of incorporating evergreen content into your email campaigns for long-term success   Tune in to hear Toyin share how virtual assistants can repurpose their clients’ best-performing content as a 3-6 month evergreen newsletter sequence that brings in sales on autopilot.   Sponsored by Castmagic Castmagic is for podcast hosts, video streamers, or long-form content creators who want to get more mileage out of their content.

Here’s what I see happen with freelance service providers: We jump in, we book our first clients, and then we never look back and never take the time to up-level our positioning and assets so we can attract bigger clients who value us and who pay more.  This becomes a problem when you’re ready for project rates because you're not positioned as an expert if you're still looking like a generalist. We’re trying to be premium service providers and we're trying to get there because then we get to charge more, we get to work with the best clients, and we get to work on the services we love. Listen in to learn more about 6 common mistakes service providers make with packages confidently pricing your services to maximize your earning potential attracting high-paying clients and positioning yourself as an in-demand expert in your field connecting and networking with like-minded service providers in a supportive community    Tune in because I’ll help you avoid these common mistakes and set yourself up for success so you don’t max out your capacity.   Sponsored by The Digital Marketer’s Workgroup Already doing the work and have clients?

All of us are freelancers for a reason: we want freedom. We also envisioned financial freedom.  We're diving deeper into the bookkeeping, the accounting, and the expenses we can write off so that we are not paying the IRS as much at the end of the year (and keeping more for ourselves). We're getting credit for running our business because we're already paying a self-employment tax. We might as well take off these additional write-offs so we're not penalized for making more money. But we're doing this so we face our numbers, learn our numbers, and know where we're going. My guest Serena Shoup is a corporate CPA turned bookkeeping business CEO. She’s a mentor for other bookkeepers & accountants and a mom of 3. She built her business as a side hustle to motherhood when she left corporate to have her second daughter. She’s passionate about helping business owners become CEOs and take control of their money through her company Of Course Bookkeeping and she mentors other bookkeepers and accountants to do the same through her company The Ambitious Bookkeeper®️. Listen in to learn more about taking control of your freelance finances to create greater stability essential steps to safeguard your personal assets and streamline your business operations important guidelines and good money habits key deductions that could potentially save you thousands in taxes each year strategies for standing out in your industry and commanding higher rates for your specialized skills Serena is amazing. She actually does bookkeeping for my business. You're going to learn a lot, and if anything, your takeaway is to be empowered to put your business first and treat it as a real business and not just a hobby.  Sponsored by The Digital Marketer’s Workgroup Already doing the work and have clients?
