Summary

Freelancing 101! In this episode, my friend and fellow self-employed photographer Melissa answer all your questions about being self-employed. We touch on how we left our full-time 9-5 jobs, grew our businesses, and manage our finances and time while working for ourselves. Melissa also touches on how she grew her photography client base, learned to shoot photos, and how organizes her business. I answer questions on becoming a full-time content creator, dealing with criticism online, and how brand deals work. I hope this episode is helpful if you're looking to pursue a self-employed career path!
