The idea of working less and earning more is a dream for most people, and it's why many of us choose an entrepreneurial lifestyle. In this episode of The Sigrun Show, I welcome Sarah Grear to discuss how this is possible.
Sarah is a persuasive copywriting expert who has written for more than 300 projects for influential creatives and healers. She is a speaker and published author who teaches DIY online writing classes to entrepreneurs eager to improve their web copy. She has also been named one of “50 Must-Follow Women Entrepreneurs” by the Huffington Post.
Sarah joins me to discuss the creative ways in which she has packaged her copywriting services and how they helped her double her revenue and take four months off during the year. We discuss how to think outside the box when it comes to pricing your services and generating leads. Sarah also explains her theory behind “getting your pricing sea legs” and why building a team is crucial for you to scale your business.
