Over the summer, I helped re-vamp The Creative Class, Paul Jarvis’s course on the business side of freelancing.

It covers: Clients. Pricing. Landing projects. Getting paid. Managing revisions (endless revisions). Finding clients and connecting with them in a way that feels right.

So far we’ve helped over 2,500 freelancers learn how to run their freelance businesses better (and we’d love to have the chance to help you as well.)

We also kicked off a podcast we recorded for it, withdifferent freelancing-related topics covered in each season.

I took The Creative Class back in 2014 (when I was a year into freelancing) and it helped me do a lot of important things.

Things like: Finding a niche. Getting processes in place for more efficient client onboarding. Implementing a strategy for raising my rates.

In short, it changed my business. Since taking the course, I’ve increased my income by an average of 50% year-over-year.

When Paul sent out an email asking for feedback on the course before he took a dive into re-working it for version 2.0, I responded. I asked for things like ready-to-use templates and email scripts. And I offered to help create those (with my writerly skills, and all).

Paul emailed me back and said, “Yeah. Let’s do it. And actually, I want to bring you in to add your insight to this course as well.”

So we got to work. Over the summer, we re-wrote every lesson from scratch, created new templates and email scripts, and built a freelancing course that’s stronger and better than before (which I honestly didn’t think was possible).
