Business Data for Freelance Editors
It can be overwhelming to figure out whether a client’s proposed timeline is realistic, which of your marketing strategies are paying off, and whether this month’s income will pay for that grammar course you’ve been eyeing. Fortunately, tracking your business data keeps you in control of it all. This webinar will explain how keeping records of your business income and expenses, project details, holidays, CPD, and marketing strategies can help you make smarter business decisions and meet your business goals.
Creating a Persuasive Website for Your Freelance Business
You know you need a website for your freelance business, but what should it include? How should it present you and your services? And, most importantly, how can it be better at turning visitors into paying clients? The answer is less about what your website says and more about how persuasively it says it. In this webinar, you’ll learn five ways to add persuasion to your website, see how high-converting websites work their magic, and walk away with a plan to put your website to work.
Winning Clients Over with Sample Edits and Proposals
This webinar will cover the three pillars of launching the client relationship: a deep, empowered idea of your ideal client and project niche; sample edits tailored to each editing service’s scope and objective; and proposals designed to educate, impress, and convert. It will also touch on how to assess manuscripts to create accurate quotes, how to sell your authentic value, and how to say no for the sake of growth.
