    Working ON Your Business vs. Working IN Your Business

  • This month inside the #FreelanceEditorsClub, we're going to be talking about something *everyone* wants to know more about: RATES.⁠
⁠
➡️ Swipe through to check out everything we have planned for October⁠
⁠
ID: Slide 1: Freelance Editors Club: What's happening in October? Take a peek!⁠
⁠
Slide 2: Live Workshop. Let’s talk about rates! This is a hot topic for all of us, so we’re going to get into the nitty-gritty of how to determine our rates for various services, projects, and clients. I’ll include all the variables you need to think about when setting your rates, how and when to raise them, and how to address objections from clients.⁠
⁠
Slide 3: Book Club. This month we're reading The Emotional Craft of Fiction: How to Write a Story Beneath the Surface by Donald Maass. We'll have weekly check-ins in our private community plus a live discussion at the end of the month.⁠
⁠⁠
Slide 4: Coworking Sessions. We're going to have five two-hour coworking sessions. These sessions give everyone a chance to focus solely on their business while chatting with other club members (if they choose). We get so much done!⁠
⁠
Slide 5: Meditations. I'll be offering four guided meditations throughout the month using the Insight Timer app.⁠ Running a successful business involves self-care, and meditation is a great way to focus your mind.⁠
⁠
Slide 6: Q&A Calls. We'll have our usual biweekly Q&A calls, where members can ask me and their fellow members anything.⁠
⁠
Slide 7: Want to join us? tarawhitaker.com/club⁠

  • Do you know how many hours a day *you* can edit?⁠
⁠
In this episode of #TheModernEditorPodcast, I go over how you can figure this out for yourself. Because guess what? It's different for everyone 😉 (But a hint: I bet it’s fewer hours than you think!)⁠
⁠
*Disclaimer: The math I attempted in this episode makes zero sense. I’m an editor, not a mathematician 🤣⁠

  • RAISE YOUR RATES 👀

One of our newest #FreelanceEditorsClub members had some great questions about rates at our last Q&A call.

Our group chatted for about 45 minutes, sharing all sorts of nuggets about rates and giving suggestions based on their experiences.

The member ultimately decided to raise their rates, and within TWO days they had a client accept the new rate!

Next month I’m hosting a specific training about rates inside the club. I can only hope more members see amazing results like this afterward 😍

[ID: Screenshot from an Instagram DM. First message says, “Thanks again for the Q&A on raising rates. I raised mine (as you saw), and I actually just booked a client at the new rate! She is a recurring client and was actually excited I’d raised my rates and that my business was growing! <heart emoji> Second message says, “YAAAS!!! That’s incredible! I knew you could do it <two heart-eye emojis>]
