Most freelancers start in the 9-5 world, decide they want to make a change, plant the seeds for side hustle, and then you take the plunge. I kind of did it backwards... In today's Freelance Friday video, I'm chatting about my origin story with freelancing - the fluke recommendation that led me to Fiverr, how I got my overnight burst of initial success, and when I decided to make the leap to a full-time freelance copywriting career. It's a little rambly, but it's all in there! If you're familiar with what I do now and what my business looks like, skip to 6:19 for the juicy backstory.
