On Tuesday morning, Eman Ismail took to the virtual stage for the last of the season 9 webinars. Eman is a freelance pro, the founder of Eman Copy Co, host of the Mistakes That Made Me podcast, and most recently, the cover star of Freelance Magazine. The setup for Eman’s session was a guide for how to successfully smash the freelance life.What followed was an hour of practical advice, thoughtfulness, and so much positivity. Eman embodies what we value most at TMM. Eman’s working story is impressive to say the least. Back in 2018, after a stint in-house at a charity, Eman set up shop as a pen-for-hire - a copywriting freelancer. With a 2-year old son in tow, the first few years were not easy. Eman explains how they cycled through feast and famine mode, figuring out how to make it work. Then, Covid hit, and Eman’s childcare setup went out the window. Now, in 2023, she’s a mama of 2 with a 6 figure copywriting business who enjoyed 7-8 months of self-funded maternity leave and all of the freedom and flexibility to work in a way that works for her family. How did she do it? Watch the video playback here or read on for Eman’s 6 tips to go from surviving to thriving as a freelancer.
