On this episode of Teachers Make the Leap, you'll get an inside look at Summer Office Hours. This summer Kristin and Hillary are hosting free open office hours to the teachers on their email list where they come and ask questions about copywriting, freelancing, and living life beyond the classroom. 

During this conversation, Kristin and Hillary answer these teacher-submitted questions: 

• Do you use a CRM (Client Relationship Management system) and which one do you recommend?
• Is there a secret sauce to incorporating keywords/keyphrases into copy for SEO?
• What is the best type of copywriting service to start offering when you're a new copywriter?
• What is one thing you wish someone had told you in the beginning of your business?
• My friend started a business and she works all the time — weekends, evenings, holidays, you name it. This is one reason I want to leave teaching. If I start a business, will I just be trading one career for another where I'm working around the clock?
