This week on the podcast, Rachel and Lynne are chatting with freelance writer, journalist, consultant and media trainer Sue White. As a highly successful freelancer, Sue is all about knowing your own worth and charging accordingly. She shares her career journey, why it's important to grow and adapt as time goes on and why you should never accept underpaid jobs.
She talks about:
- Where and how she finds her clients
- Why journalists need to do copywriting and content to make a good living
- How she secured a long-running column in prestigious newspapers
- Whether securing retainers works for freelancers
- How she set up a media training business with fellow journalist Ginger Gorman
- The systems and processes that work for her
