Hey folks!
This month, I have an incredible, tactical episode for you.
I know the topic of diversification is on many of our minds. The freelance market is what it is, and the pool of freelancers continues to grow – so we need ways of differentiating ourselves from others. We may be wondering how to level up in our businesses by offering new services, looking to a new client base, or both! But how do you do it in an intentional way?
This month’s guest, Ashley Cisneros Mejia, walks us through an incredibly logical and stepwise plan to diversify your freelance business fearlessly and purposefully.
Ashley is an award-winning journalist, communications expert, and former marketing agency owner with nearly 20 years of experience. She is the host and creator of the Talk Freelance to Me Podcast, where she provides freelancers the tools they need to design a life they love, and run sustainable, profitable businesses. Over her career, she’s done a bit of everything. She began her career as a newspaper reporter, worked as a tech writer, marketing manager, in PR, and so much more.
That perspective she’s had working across industries and services shows in how she runs her business and in the invaluable advice she dispenses in this episode.
