This online workshop is part of our new autumn programme of digital masterclasses that we are offering. To help you go back to school with a fresh perspective, we are offering a very limited supply of introductory tickets for each event, discounted up to 20% – once they’re gone, they’re gone!
Success in freelancing means a lot more than simply being great at the work you do (though it certainly helps!); equally important to your career is being great at freelancing itself. But what does that mean, and how can you ensure your creative endeavours are being given the attention they deserve? As an aspiring freelancer, how do you value your work and work out how much you need to make in order to live the life you want? What are the realities of the work-life balance?
In this practical masterclass with Alison Grade, author of The Freelance Bible, you will learn how to best position yourself to find the work you want to do - and how to keep doing it. You will discover how and why freelancing is akin to dating, and how to use this knowledge to gain new clients.
You will complete this workshop having built a successful and strong freelancer psyche, with fresh insights into the benefits of freelancing, and with a workable framework on which to build a sustainable and enjoyable freelance career.
