Business Journeys of Two Independent Workers: Strategies They Employed to Launch and Expand Their Freelance Ventures
In the world of freelancing, finding clients and managing work can be a challenging task. However, two freelancers, Sareeta and Elizabeth, have found success with Sagan's Solopreneur Programs.
Sareeta, a lifestyle blogger and virtual assistant, joined a freelancer e-course in December 2016. After completing the program, she discovered a valuable lesson: she didn't have to offer services she didn't want to. This newfound confidence allowed her to charge what she thought she was worth and gain new clients who valued her services. In fact, within the first three weeks of the program, Sareeta secured a retainer client [1].
Elizabeth, on the other hand, started her art business in January 2017, specialising in pen drawings and oil paintings. She enrolled in the same freelancer e-course when it launched in May 2016. The lessons she learned from the program played a pivotal role in the growth of her business. Elizabeth was able to start two businesses (freelance editing and artwork commissions) using the methods taught in the e-courses. The program also provided her with a confidence boost, enabling her to increase her rates, particularly in her primary focus, client commissions [1].
Sagan's Solopreneur Programs offer several key resources to help freelancers like Sareeta and Elizabeth find and get hired by clients. These resources include the Productivity Powerhouse e-course, the Solopreneur CEO coaching program, and tailored, personality-based approaches [2].
The Productivity Powerhouse e-course provides proprietary anti-hustle productivity methods, helping freelancers take control of their time and improve their efficiency, work/life balance, and general productivity. This increased productivity makes freelancers more reliable and attractive to clients, helping them meet deadlines and manage multiple projects effectively [2].
The Solopreneur CEO coaching program offers 1:1 coaching and accountability, guiding freelancers on business strategies, client outreach, and project management. This personalised coaching directly aids in finding and securing clients [2].
The programs also emphasise customisation based on the freelancer’s unique personality, brain, lifestyle, values, and goals. This personalisation helps freelancers identify client niches and projects that best fit their strengths, improving their chances of getting hired [2].
While the detailed case studies of Sareeta and Elizabeth are not fully spelled out, these core program components illustrate the types of resources Sagan’s Solopreneur Programs use to assist freelancers in successfully attracting clients and managing freelance work sustainably [2].
Elizabeth highly recommends the freelancer e-course for freelancers in any industry. She credits the program for the creation of her website and the start of networking on social media [1]. Sareeta, too, found the methods taught in the e-courses to be applicable to any kind of freelance business [1].
