#126 [Freelancer Story]: How a Marketing Assistant Doubled Her Rates

SIGN UP FOR THE LIVE VA TRAINING & INFOSESSION! I remember when AnDréa Pettingill first sent me a DM - she was an accidental freelancer who started offering her services at a ridiculously low rate. As a nail salon business owner, she was looking for work that gave her the flexibility to be at home with her two kids. (And paid just as well as her high-end nail services.) This is Dréa’s freelancer start-up story; it’s packed full of advice about starting something new and being ok having multiple passions …and even switching up businesses. Since taking the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School, she has more than doubled her rates, and already hit her starting income goal and paid off her initial investment. The cool thing? It’s up from here. If you can take action like Dréa did you can be building something bigger than your expectations. You just don’t know until you start.  Listen for Dréa’s advice on raising your rates, and how to go above and beyond for your clients (and why that will pay off in more ways in the long run). Enjoy!
