15 Minute Freelancer

In the third episode of 15 Minute Freelancer, we put a freelancing spin on the concept of product-market fit. Louise shares her process for finding freelancer-client fit, to help you figure out who your ideal clients are and how to create a service that meets their needs and yours.

"Not every client is for you. And you're not for every client either. It's important to find the right chemistry. When you figure out freelancer-client fit, you're on the way to keeping your project pipeline flowing with work that you actually want to do. The marketing will be easier, the sales calls or the intro calls are much easier. And the projects themselves run smoothly and efficiently and just a lot more fulfilling." -- Louise Shanahan

Thinking about starting a freelance business? Worried about where to start? In the second episode of 15 Minute Freelancer, Louise Shanahan  reflects on three things she wished she knew when she was making the leap from 'proper job' to full-time freelancer.

"I had a lot of fear around quitting a sensible, well-paid 'proper' job and going it alone. I didn't know any freelancers or business owners. There was no model to follow. But looking back a few years later, it feels like a complete 180. It's been such an adventure! Here's what I would tell myself when I was panicking about getting started..." -- Louise Shanahan

The very first episode of 15 Minute Freelancer is here! Your host is freelance health copywriter Louise Shanahan. After 10 years in a 'proper' job, Louise started her own freelance business 5 years ago and hasn't looked back since. She's on a mission to help others build a business that works for them – in weekly snack-sized bites.

In today's episode, we're looking at how to find the number one thing every freelancer needs: CLIENTS! Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned freelancer having a wee bit of a dry spell, listen up as Louise shares her 7 most effective ways to find clients and keep your project pipeline flowing.

"Clients aren’t going to know why or how to hire you unless you tell them, so if you feel awkward about selling or putting yourself out there, you really need to get over that. The best bit about being your own boss is you get to decide how you generate leads – but you have to find some way to attract people to your business. These are strategies I've used successfully myself." -- Louise Shanahan
