What It's About
An update from a creative, hard-working freelancer.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1286
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. So far in these features we’ve had a New York City musician with a blog teaching jazz that becomes a multiple six-figure business and an Australian woman who draws houses. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from a man who specializes in naming businesses. He started out *selling jokes* for $5/each on Fiverr, but he’s come a long way since then. Listen to today's episode to hear Dion's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
- Follow and connect with Dillon on Twitter,
- !
- Fiverr: The online gig platform that makes it easy to test your services and make some money
- I also wanted to mention one of the resources that Dion refers to. It’s Envato, which describes itself as a marketplace for digital assets such as code scripts, audio files, stock photos or video, and even 3D models. You can see Dion's portfolio and the themes he sells there here. It reminds me a bit of Creative Market, which we haven’t looked at in a while but could be helpful for someone out there.If you’d like to check it out, that’s Envato.com, or author.envato.com to see the page that focuses more on selling your digital items.
- Writing Duo Makes a Vow To Improve Wedding Speeches: Two freelance writers use their wit with words to write wedding vows for tongue-tied brides, grooms, and sometimes even the best man.
- Fashion-Lover Finds the Right Freelancing Look: A corporate publicist begins to do freelance work on the side—and after getting laid off, she grows her hustle into a full-time career.
- College Student Manages Large Ad Campaigns for Businesses: A teenager learns online marketing techniques by watching YouTube, then goes on to manage ad campaigns of up to $50,000/month.
