FREELANCER FINANCES: NEGOTIATING RATES, GETTING PAID, AND STREAMLINING YOUR ACCOUNTING

Featuring Paco de Leon, Gaby Dunn, Erin Lowry, and Paulette Perhach

Being a freelancer provides autonomy and plenty of perks, but it can feel overwhelming—especially financially. Our Freelancer Finances webinar will help you learn the basics of negotiating your rate, getting paid after an editor ghosts you, and streamlining your books to keep track of all of your invoices. Our panel of experienced freelancers will show you how to navigate and even level up your current systems and strategies.
