Next Thursday (11/20): Join Our First Live Event!

Building a freelance writing business can feel like you’re fighting an uphill battle that’s never going to end. Clients disappear, payments lag, goal posts move, edit requests drag on and on. I lived that struggle for MANY years. But, in time… and after lots of trial and error… I learned that it’s possible to get to a place with more stability and security.

Not that problems, dips, and curveballs ever go away entirely, but they can be greatly reduced and less catastrophic.

The foundation of that solid ground for me is a roster of at least 4-6 recurring anchor clients that match my ideal customer profile. Not 15, not 30, not a new 5 each month — just about 5 that stay long term. It’s easy to stress and think you need an endless supply of clients. But often, freelance writers can be very successful with just a handful of good fits.

Join me in this one-hour webinar as I share tips on finding (and keeping) YOUR five as a way to gain more stability in this wild west we call freelancing.

Details: I’ll be hosting FIND YOUR FIVE next Thursday morning (11/20) from 9 am to 10 am PST for the ATFW Early Bird community. The Zoom link will go out to Early Bird members in Wednesday morning’s job email and 10 minutes before the presentation on Thursday.

Not an Early Bird yet? No problem. You can sign up for a free 7-day trial and join us!

I hope to see you there! There will be time for some Q&A at the end.
