How I made more from 1:1s than from retainer clients
|
For a while, I made more from my 1:1 offers than from my retainer clients. Not because I'd lost my retainer clients! Because I intentionally structured my weeks to have more flexibility. I have a disabled son (his name is William). And what that means in real terms is that my diary can change without warning. An appointment I can't cancel. A hospital stay I didn't plan for. And I've had many weeks turn into a nightmare very quickly. Retainers are brilliant, but they come with expectations, deadlines, and ongoing commitments. The kind of work that doesn't really pause when life gets crazy. But my 1:1 offers gave me options. I could take a booking when it worked. Do the work in a small pocket of time I knew I had. Deliver something brilliant, get paid, and not have to worry about letting anyone down. One month, I made over 3.5k from 1:1s alone, and I still went to every appointment and took Fridays off. In the membership, we help you do this by building your 'Offer Triangle' with 3 different types of services you can offer whenever you choose. If you're anything like me, you probably thought freelancing would mean you'd have flexibility and time off. This is how you get it and earn more! Join today to increase your flexibility (and income). See you inside. ~ Laura M P.S.

"I don't know enough to offer power hours""I need to learn more before I can host a masterclass""I'm too new to deliver workshops" We hear this a lot. But here's what's actually true. Offering social media management is the hardest thing you can do. You're responsible for results, month after month, for real businesses. You're making strategic decisions every single day. You know your stuff well enough that someone pays you every month to prove it. A power hour, a masterclass, a workshop......
For years, I've watched other people spend a fortune on networking. The early morning breakfasts. The hours out of the business with nothing to show for it but a stack of business cards you'll never look at again. I did it differently. I ran paid, face-to-face workshops for local businesses that needed help with their social media. They paid me to be in the room. I got to demonstrate exactly what I knew. And the businesses sitting in front of me were literally my ideal clients, with their...
Hey Reader, You know that feeling when you've been doing something the slow way for months... and then someone shows you the shortcut and you're like why didn't I just do that from the start? That's our annual membership. Here's the thing. Most people stay, even when they pay monthly. That's not a guess, it's just what keeps happening.
