When it comes to nailing the business side of your business, it can feel like you’re constantly juggling a bunch of balls and you’re not sure which one you need to tend to first. Most of us hate tending to the business side of our business – getting the legal docs right, putting in the systems to help you grow, understanding your pricing and more. But today’s guest, direct response copywriter Abbey Woodcock, shifted her business to teach the business side of creative freelancing including setting up systems to grow a freelancing business and building out an in-house content team.
