The issue with freelancing
Apr 13, 2023 10:39 am
Hello, . Hope you are good?
If you are, great!
If you are feeling a bit down, you might understand this email a bit better than others.
I have friends making as much as 2 million naira every month from freelancing. These are Content writers and Copywriters hitting the $$$ clients but where do they find them?
I have always wondered what these guys did.
Do they have two heads?
I was at a point where I was making N300k every month, I was making plans to move up. Ready to meet my friends who have spent years in the marketing game where they were.
Then, I lost a client.
2 weeks later, another client told me he couldn't afford to pay me anymore.
Barely a week later, I lost another client.
5 days later, I hit rock bottom.
It took 2 months for almost 2 years of work to disintegrate.
I got depressed. Slept very well for a whole night (8pm to 6am). Woke up the next morning and said I was taking over my life.
2 weeks later, I was back to N300k a month again, but I finally figured out what was wrong.
Like every freelancer, I moved from a previous comfort zone to a deadlier comfort zone.
Starting out as a freelancer could be hard or easy, depending on the route you take.
But the growing process has to be continuous.
In a couple weeks, I will be hosting a free 6-week masterclass for any writer ready to scale in 45 days.
If it is something you feel you will be into, send a reply to this email. It is only open to 100 people.
Day 1 - What is digital marketing?
Day 2 - Treating your clients like human beings
Day 3 - Killing the comfort zone
We have 4 days left to round up this 7-day email course.
Till the next email,
Stay swag,
Demmy.
