Big changes at Dr. Freelance…what’s in it for you?

dr freelance websiteThis month marks my 16th year as a freelancer, and I’ll be honest—I’m enjoying it more than ever. Revealing this new Dr. Freelance website is a major thrill, and I appreciate the fact that you’ve clicked in to check it out.

The Doc has undergone some major surgery behind the scenes, but now it’s time to discuss…

What’s in It for You?

Kindle Countdown deal. The Science, Art and Voodoo of Freelance Pricing and Getting Paid is just $0.99, starting at 8 a.m. Eastern on August 6—so grab your copy now before it goes to $1.99!

Live, interactive learning opportunities. A new webinar series kicks off with a free marketing Q&A on September 14. Find out more and sign up on the Webinars page.

One-on-one freelance consulting. You can always Ask The Doc whatever you’d like, but if you want a one-on-one diagnosis about your freelance business, now you can book a phone or email consultation.

Get your book published. If you have a book in the works, and need anything from copyediting or design to proofreading and production, you’re gonna want to have a little More Cowbell (Dr. Freelance’s publishing division).

Biweekly blog posts. Whether you want to get new freelance clients, make more money freelancing, or do a better job of managing your freelance business, make sure to subscribe via email through the form on this page—or add this new site URL to your RSS feed.

Find, sell, and retain more freelance business. Download your FREE ebook copy of The Smooth-Sailing Freelancer here.

Creative Team Kudos

Before I close out, I need to give well-earned kudos to the creative team that made the new website possible. If you’re considering revamping your own marketing materials, I recommend any and all of them:

  • Web designer and SEO star Carrie Morgan of Rock the Status Quo. Her guidance in choosing a theme, navigation, branding approach, and content was spot on—and her speed, design talent, and technology know-how putting it all together were simply astonishing. Equally important, she’s a heckuva motivator!
  • Graphic designer Jane Gerke of Rubi Studio Visual Communications. I’ve partnered with Jane since my early days of freelancing, and she’s the creative talent behind the design of my books, business logos, and much of the imagery incorporated in the new site.
  • Photographer and graphic designer Doug Smith of Douglas Smith Design. I’m far more comfortable behind a camera than in front of one, but Doug managed to make the photo shoot fun as well as capturing the images I needed. It was tough to choose the best of the bunch.

There’s occasionally a temptation to think of ourselves as lone wolves, but at its best and most successful, freelancing is a team enterprise: surrounding yourself with talented people who help you get the job done. (I’ll be posting more on that topic in an upcoming post.)

    Thanks for the compliment, John—all credit is due to Carrie and my team! I’m looking forward to posting more often now that the interface is improved (and actually let you comment without hiding it, haha).

    Aww, thank you so much, Jake! I appreciate the accolades and am equally excited for you – a fresh vision can inspire amazing things! Keep up the great work.

    (Can I borrow your photographer? I need some great shots, too!)
