Don’t Just Edit Like a Boss—Be a Boss!
To be a successful freelance editor, you need to run a business like a boss. With the right training, you can do that quicker and easier.
When I became a freelance editor, I knew I would enjoy editing, but I had no idea how much I would enjoy the admin side of things. I love it! So I have spent time learning how to streamline tasks and have built processes and systems to stay on top of everything. Whether you love it or hate it, the truth is you have to run your business.
This course, which covers every aspect of the admin side of running your business except marketing, helps make running your business more manageable and, dare I say it, even more enjoyable.
Who this course is for
This course will help you either set up your business or fine-tune and improve your administrative processes.
Brand-new editors or people who want to be editors: You will get the most out of this course because it will help you get your entire administrative side up and running.
Veteran editors: Because you already have some of your admin pieces in place, not all the content will be relevant to you, but you will find plenty of tips to increase your effectiveness as a business owner.
If you already have a website and you love it, great; skip the website content and creation lessons. If you feel you’re struggling to manage your time or projects, then check out the project management unit.
With this course, you work at your own pace so you can continue editing as much as you want/need while also learning how to build or improve your business systems and management.
For a one-time fee, you get
Clear to-do tasks laid out for you
Examples from mine and other editors’ websites, templates, systems, etc.

A Great Investment!

This course is jam-packed with invaluable information on running your own business. If you’re new to freelancing, there’s everything you need to get started, and even if you’ve been running your own business for a while, there are a ton of ideas to help you level up. The templates are very helpful, as are the video overviews and comparisons of various programs you can use to streamline your business. The forum provides a really nice way to connect with others and to get personalized feedback on all aspects of running your business. This was truly a worthwhile investment for me, and I’m excited to continue implementing what I’ve learned.
