    Refresh Your About Page Challenge Kickoff

    Hey everyone!

    Today I opened up registration for our next community challenge, refreshing your About Page!

    Throughout this challenge:

    • I'll share notes on how to approach your About Page
    • I'll document the transformation of my OWN About Page
    • We'll have two live calls to share progress and get feedback
    • ...and probably some other stuff too.

    To join the challenge, all you need to do is register here.

    That will make sure you get the email prompts as well as the link to register for our two live calls.

    👇 Then, I'd love for you to share in the comments...👇 

    1. The URL to your current About Page (if you have one)
    2. What you wish the page did better for you

    Can't wait to get started! Our first call is on Feb. 5, so we have a little bit of time to get ducks in a row.

    November Challenge: No One Else [NO]

    Hey folks!

    I'd love to come back into this new month with a new challenge.

    This one will be pretty simple – by design.

    This month I'm issuing the "No One Else" Challenge. Through the month of November, I'm challenging you to choose ONE project that you're completing for you...and for no one else.

    This is your excuse to retain some time for yourself and finish that ____ that you've been meaning to get done.

    For me, I'll be completing my new course, Podcast Last The Pros.

    Comment below and let me know what YOU'LL be working on 👇 

    And the group will hold you accountable!

    Any copywriters/content creators on Upwork?

    Hey yall,

    I get pretty steady leads through my Upwork profile for copywriting/content creation related jobs.

    Way more than I can handle.

    I used to make email intros for colleagues/clients when I didn't want the project, but Upwork recently changed their TOS so it's a violation to share contact info before a project is started.

    SO I'm looking to build out my list of people to refer who have Upwork profiles so when I get invited to a job I can just say "go check out this person here:"

    If you do copy/content and are on Upwork, please share your public profile link in the comments and I'll add you to my list! :)

    The new Freelancing School brand!

    Hey everyone!

    I'm super excited to share with you the new Freelancing School brand!

    
    

    On our last community call, you guys seemed to feel most strongly about this abstract building blocks concept (it was just a sketch at the time) and I grew to really love it too.

    It's really simple, but I love the symbolism of the building blocks. It's also super fun to use as different brand elements. Even these patterns are really fun:


    
    

    
    

    You'll start seeing this around all of the Freelancing School properties now, including the website and the courses.

    I love it! I hope you do too. Let me know what you think!

    February: The Return of The Challenge

    Hey folks!

    I was thinking today that it's time for us to get back into the swing of a good 'ol monthly challenge come February...and so I wanted introduce the topic early...

    About Page Refresh

    We all have websites. We all have About pages (or have thought about our About pages).

    They are the second-most visited page on our websites...and we probably haven't put the time into them that we'd like.

    SO - February's Challenge will be about...well...About.

    Are you in?

    **UPDATE** It's live now!

    Wordpress Web Developer Needed

    A client just told me that their current hosting provider won't migrate the current site from their old hosting provider to a new hosting provider (Bluehost). I need a developer to transfer a domain from one hosting provider to Bluehost. Is this something someone here could help with? How much would that cost me?

    ONCP: Where are you stuck?

    Hey everyone!

    As I continue to write prompts for the ONCP challenge...I'd love to hear anything that feels challenging or difficult to you.

    Yes, we want new clients; what's the hardest part?

    Is it starting the conversation?

    Closing the project?

    Something else?

    All feedback is welcomed – let me inside your head!
