Marketing your Freelance Business: What Works, and How to Stick to it

Tuesday, May 5 • 3:00 – 3:45pm


Veteran freelancers Laura Foley and Tom Tumbusch reveal the self-promotion techniques that have dramatically changed their careers, and how they stay accountable for getting those jobs done. You'll discover what makes the difference between pounding pavement looking for gigs and being a "client magnet" who attracts awesome work—all on a shoestring budget!

3 Main Take-Aways:
  1. Schedule time for marketing, and treat it with the same respect as any client’s time.
  2. Using "Accountability Buddy" relationships is a great way to stay on track.
  3. You can't start frantically marketing when the work dries up. Some marketing methods take months or even years to bear fruit.
