What It's About
A freelance writer learns how to find her target audience.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1987
I believe we can learn as much from failure as we can from success, if not more. It’s with this principle in mind that I offer you a weekly segment called Failure Friday: a collection of short stories all about mistakes, missteps, disasters, and of course, failure. Just like our Throwback Thursday segment, you’ll hear directly from side hustlers who have struggled to get something off the ground. They’ll tell you a short story of something that went very wrong. The stories will vary, but often it starts with an idea, what they thought would happen and what really happened—and of course, what they learned. Today’s short story features Alli Hill. She’s the owner of FreelanceSpeak.com, a resource for aspiring copywriters and other freelancers. As you’ll hear, it’s now a six-figure business (congrats!) but of course, getting to that point has been a journey that included a few missteps. Let’s hear from Alli about one of those struggles… I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up. Listen to today's episode to learn more...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
