How I find jobs on LinkedIn + new jobs

Has landing new freelance clients been rough for you this year? You’re not alone. New client work has slowed for me this year, too, but one thing that is still working is building relationships.

Hello Reader! When I started freelancing, I wasted years figuring out how to run my business like a real business.

I've officially bundled everything I've learned together in The Freelance Content Vault. Inside, you’ll find the exact resources and templates (over 18 assets) I use to run my 6-figure freelance content business, including: My full...

Hello Reader! Watching The Music Man with the kid the other night, and I had a copywriting epiphany. This is how my dog stares at me all day. 100% of the time. This classic is a masterclass in buyer psychology + copywriting. It's all about selling people on a problem they didn’t know they had. The Setup: River City is fine. Everything is just... fine. The Hook: Along comes Professor Harold Hill (a grifter, but a great salesman (ahem... and copywriter, let's be real). He wants to make some...
