Guest: NAIWE’s Ghostwriting Expert Claudia Suzanne

A person’s mindset is powerful, and it is the difference between a freelancer and a businessperson. How you perceive yourself and present yourself determines your position in the professional world. In turn, your position dictates what you can charge for your services. This webinar will assist you in determining your ideal clients and how to associate with them. It will help you be prepared with a presentation folder to give to potential clients for the times when you sit down with them to read a portion of their manuscript. In this webinar, you will learn how to create a tag line telling what you do, which you can then use on your business cards, website, and social media accounts. Then, let your confidence in your skills bring you to the place you deserve as a successful freelancer.

Here’s what you can expect to learn in this class:

  • How to present yourself as a professional

  • Where to find clients

  • Methods to set prices and get them

  • What not to do if you want to succeed

  • Understanding that your mindset can affect your success and your income level
