641. Bulletproofing Yourself By Becoming A Freelancer With Dorothy Hollabaugh, Co-Founder & CEO Of The Gig
I’m joined by Dorothy Hollabaugh, the Co-Founder & CEO of The Gig, a digital media company that helps freelancers acquire and profit from high-income online skills. We discuss the number one thing that you can do to bridge a gap in your income, regardless of what's coming up in your industry. She details through how to leverage your skills (or develop new ones) to get up and running as a freelancer. We dive into how to come up with your rate, where the biggest opportunities for online jobs are, and how exactly to land clients on sites like Upwork. There are so many ways to get scrappy and creative online, and I promise that the tools that Dorothy shares will give you the options and flexibility that you didn’t have during the ‘08/’09 recession.
