Freelancing in the creative industries is a fact of life. Even curious hobbyists and serial employees will need to understand the basics – not to mention those who have chosen to freelance professionally in their craft.
The Freelance Five is a fast, funny, and practical presentation specifically designed for creative practitioners with absolutely no business skills, to help them get the five most important elements of creative freelancing just right. This workshop is ideal for creative practitioners at every level, from students to professionals.
Participants will learn more about:
Setting goals and planning the self-employment journey
Understanding and handling money matters
The key to managing time better
The basic beginnings of marketing
Fostering a cheer squad and juggling the realities of combining art and business
All participants of this workshop also receive:
Lifetime access to a dedicated Dropbox folder full of additional resources and workbooks to help continue the learning after the workshop is over
Access to additional free webinars to supplement the material covered in the workshop
