And then they start to see the writing on the wall. This could be a legit business where you’re self-employed and offering digital services– anything from email marketing, social media, affiliate and launch management to podcast editing, all of that as a real business.  It's a big jump from doing this work in the cracks of time, evenings, and weekends to an independent contractor business that’s replacing your full-time income.

I’m answering this burning question and sharing more about 4 things you need to do so you can go full-on into freelancing How to make sure you’re financially prepared Networking and building client relationships Practical ways to avoid burnout while still juggling a full-time job How you can learn to become a freelance service provider If you’re balancing a traditional job with a freelance side gig and want more flexibility, you CAN make this transition a reality.    Sponsored by the UDMA School: Join the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School.
