The Worst Advice for New Freelancers (And What to Do Instead) (Episode 149)

No one’s born knowing how to freelance–just like no one’s born knowing how to write copy. So if you’re told to hold your nose and jump into freelancing without a schedule for finding clients or how you’re going to work, you’re probably not going to build the career you want.
