People often ask me why I freelance. It's simple. I get paid more to work on better projects with more interesting people. And I can work when, where, and how I want. #WhyIFreelance

Selling retainers has almost nothing to do with luck. Instead: - Start with a one-off project first - Identify an ongoing need - Position the retainer as an investment - Make it easy to say 'yes' by providing clear cancellation terms

Dear Freelancer, It's natural to feel nervous on sales calls. But remember that your client *wants* to buy from you. You don't have to *convince* them. You just need to work out the details together.
