Want to have a steady high-income editing business?
Tired of struggling, hustling for jobs, waiting for clients to contact you?
Maybe you've been working hard, chasing after clients, trying to drum up work, experimenting with advertising, going to conferences and handing out business cards. But what's been the result? Maybe you've been stuck for months or years, hoping your business will grow into a career that's lucrative enough that you can quit your other day job. Or work part-time and still easily support yourself. The success you've dreamed of keeps slipping through your fingers.
Dare to change the picture!
What if you took a chance and reinvented yourself? What if you dared to reach out for that gold ring and grab it? How would you feel to have new clients every day contact you to hire you? How would you feel if strangers sent you thousands of dollars without first contacting you to ask about your services? How would you feel to have that kind of success?
It's not a dream. It happened to C.S. Lakin who went from having an editing job or two a month, scrambling and hustling and trying everything she could to drum up editing clients. She did work for free. She charged a rock-bottom price. She thought that strategy, in time, would help her eventually see success. But it didn't.
And then she learned the secrets to making a great living as an editor, and it involved a half-dozen simple steps that she never expected.
This isn't just hype. Within three years Lakin was making a six-figure income, part time, from her editing business. It's about being authentic. There's nothing phony or pretentious about true success. The key lies in not just providing stellar work for your clients but in creating a presence online that writers will trust. They'll want you, and only you, to edit their work. And they'll tell others about you, and your name will spread.
