The Smashing Self-Employment community is here to help you achieve more in less time, get more customers and build a brilliant business.
With a rapidly growing library of resources covering:
- Getting stuff done
- Getting and keeping customers
- Making your business easier to manage, and...
- Taking care your most important asset: YOU!
There's also a members-only Facebook group and a weekly member-only live Q&A.
No matter where you are in your self-employed journey, you'll find help in the Smashing Self-Employment community.
"Being self-employed isn't an easy path but, with the right tools and working methods, it doesn't have to feel like an impossible job."
Why join the community?
Marketing
Marketing is all about getting and keeping customers but many self-employed people get it wrong and certainly don't do enough of it.
In the community you'll learn some down-to-earth techniques that will make a huge difference to your marketing success.
Being Productive
When you're self-employed you have to be more organised than you will ever have been working for someone else.
The community has loads of ways to organise your work to enable you to get more done than you thought possible.
Networking
Networking is a great way to find customers and meet potential collaborators.
Our members-only facebook group gives you access to expertise and support from people who've been there and done it.
Planning
Planning gets a bit of a bad rep as boring and irrelevant. However, having a plan can be make or break in many cases.
In the community you'll find ideas for planning your work and then working your plan.
Pricing
Pricing is often a grossly misunderstood part of being self-employed and in the community you'll discover ideas for setting prices properly and also using price tools for increased profitability.
When the going gets tough
OK, so being self-employed isn't all peaches and cream, there will be times when it will be tough (sometimes very tough).
You'll find several strategies for breaking through tough times and making sure that your work (and often your confidence) remains in good shape.
