Grab a CRM (and use it regularly)
Here’s an easy template to use:
Goal progress: This can be financial, number of clients, or anything you like. If you aren’t comfortable
sharing numbers, keep it vague like me with a %.
Most effective marketing tactic: Share what’s working for you and learn from everyone
else!
Lifestyle status: How well is your freelance strategy supporting your lifestyle goals...a few words is fine!
Niche update: What’s going on in your corner of the freelance world...let us know!
Job Updates
Here’s what I’m seeing on some of the main job boards! Even if you don’t see something interesting in this email, make sure to click through and search for your keywords. (Also check out the Where to Find Work page for new and classic ideas to find freelance work…remember that these sites should just be a starting point!)
Upwork: Upwork’s got work in PowerPoint, tradeshow planning, and earned social media
Don’t forget that these are just highlights to inspire your searches! (I haven’t dug into the details or quality of any of the jobs) Check out all the sites yourself — and as always, these updates might be great, but this shouldn’t be your primary source of work. Get out there are get your prospecting game going!
