How to get your first freelance client (or job!) without any experience

If you think you need experience to get hired for something, think again. As a newly reincarnated freelancer (less than two weeks of prospecting and practically zero experience), I earned Crash.co as my first growth marketing freelance client. You can too, with the same process.

The danger of what you THINK you know: Why writers must be highly self-aware of our own perspectives

Often times, writers take a bit of valid research and apply it to an entire topic on which we think we’re knowledgeable. It happens to the best of us, but writers who stay humble do an incredible thing for the world: we curb our own propensity for disseminating “slightly wrong” information.

Why unit economics matter to freelancers (and not just founders)

From the time we’re little kids, we inherently understand the ratio of effort-to-reward. It’s no different in business, and it’s important for freelancers and other entrepreneurs to understand and optimize our unit economics!

Community feature: Jérémy Chevallier, GigLoft Cofounder & CMO

I was fired from most of the jobs I had from age 16 to 22. I always wanted something more for myself. Despite my talents and hunger, it took other people coming into my life to make full-time self-employment happen for me.

Make friends, not connections.

Make friends, not connections.

The tireless “business” rah-rah of networking and making connections doesn’t quite resonate with many freelance creatives. In reality, it’s by staying human that that we get the most out of human connections, the best of which become lifelong friendships.

85% of people hate their job. Can a new school teach them to love it?

85% of people hate their job. Can a new school teach them to love it?

The familiar narrative of school, college, debt, job-seeking, and missing fulfillment doesn’t have to be the norm. With a school that teaches us freelancing in realtime, we can choose to think, learn, and create our ideal work situation. That’s GigLoft. 🚀

Setting S.M.A.R.T. Goals: a Guide for Ambitious Freelancers & Founders

Goals are commendable, but only work to align a team’s efforts when they meet a certain set of criteria. We far too often tend to set goals that feel inspiring and powerful, but fail to consider the details that will make your goals actually work for you.

Success isn’t monetary, it’s a feeling.

So many people believe that success is a certain paycheck $$$ amount, or net worth, or status in life. In many ways, we’re led to believe success is the outcome of hard work, luck, etc. But, in reality, success isn’t an outcome—it’s a feeling. 🤩
