Let's start this week with a little brain-buster...

If freelancing is all about having freedom, why does it sometimes feel...

like you're a lone rooster in the middle of the ocean with a teenager who's trying to save her people? 🌊

Oh, you don't know either?

Sure, freelancing means you can choose how and when you work, what kind of work you do, your clients, and your rate.

But by the time you finally shut your laptop and collapse on the couch, your mind starts racing.

You think of all those freelancers on LinkedIn who seem to be effortlessly achieving their dreams.

Before you know it, you're spiraling.

🤔 🤔 🤔

The good news is—feeling like you're not doing "enough" is completely normal.

The bad news? It's just not that simple.

And unfortunately, there's a chance you might never feel another way.

But you can do something about it.


Want 1000+ freelancer eyeballs on your business or product? 👀

Let's acknowledge the obvious: There are only so many hours in a day.

And marketing yourself feels like just one more thing to add to your already overflowing plate.

There's no magic formula, but if you consistently put yourself out there and track your efforts, are you getting results?

If your answer is yes...you're probably doing just fine.

If you're doing all that and then some with little or no results...something needs to change.

Of course, there are SO many ways to land clients...and what works for me may not work for you.

But have you tried sending cold emails?

I landed my very first real freelancing client by sending a cold DM on Instagram, so I know that cold outreach works!

It's also super intimidating.

And no one enjoys putting effort into something that may or may not work, right?

What if I told you I had something that could help?

Try this cold email template from Moxie.

It's been known to get a response in less than 15 minutes. 😮

And it comes with a quick video tutorial—for free.

Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to marketing your freelance business.

Finding a sustainable approach that works for you is the most important thing, and small steps can be the most important.

On my LinkedIn poll, 53% of people said their time management skills could use some work, and 10% answered, "What's time management?" So let's make that 63%. 😂 To put this into perspective, I have four clients. That's 16 blogs, 4 YouTube script intros, and 4 newsletters in July, plus my own stuff, including this weekly newsletter. And I'm sharing what helps me get everything done. Hopefully, you'll learn at least one thing: Lists, lists, and more lists! I use a tear-off weekly paper calendar....

You know, when the vibe is just off, and it becomes very clear that this is NOT a good fit... It's awkward, it's frustrating, and it's totally preventable.

Discovery calls: Do we love them, or do we hate them? Personally, I'm in the latter group. I get that they can be helpful and are necessary for some projects. But I don't think they're always necessary...or always helpful, for that matter. The main goal of a discovery call is to determine whether the project and client are a good fit for you. It also lays the groundwork for a successful working relationship. So, where do you start? The Scope To ensure the project fits with your skills, ask...
