Establish Your Freelance Writing Rates (New Data) ​ As a freelance writer, I never fully understood the value I provided to my clients until I wrote a case study describing how my content generated six figures in revenue for a particular client. If you calculate the value of your writing, you’ll also probably realize that you’re undercharging for your writing services. >> [To help you figure out how much to charge, here’s an overview of the average freelance writing rates. We’ll also discuss how you can create a pricing strategy that maximizes your income](. --------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Building a Dream Business: An Interview with the Founder of Indexsy ​ In this episode, Tim welcomes his friend Jacky to the podcast. They discuss Jacky's business, Indexsy, which is Tim's dream business. Jacky explains that Indexsy started as an SEO agency but eventually he decided to start buying online businesses for himself.

SEO Future Trends How To Take Advantage Of The Looming Changes (Academy Members Only) ​ At this point, you should know EXACTLY what your plan is, how to execute your strategy, how to measure your results, and how to crush it in SEO. This is where you may start getting some clever ideas on how you can game the system. In this final section, we will take a look at where to go from here. SEO is always changing, and as such, you must be willing and able to adapt.

Even if you have a job, consider starting a side hustle to level up your skillset as a marketer/creator. Once you realize that you can create something valuable, you'll probably find yourself less stressed about finances – even during an economic downturn. Love you guys. Talk to you next week.
