June 26, 2019 — I have worked as a local freelance education professional for over two decades. After launching my online business, I now have customers around the globe. Instead of seeing just 10 local clients per day, I am able to service thousands of online customers daily.

Today we will walk through the steps I took to evolve my local freelance business to a global business.

If you’re a freelancer who earns their living “by the hour” this talk can help you develop a plan to cast a wider net and launch your online business, for free, using the tools provided by WordPress.

In this Session, Freelance To Free Launch, you will learn:

– Why you should scale your business to include the web.
– The 3 types of people you NEED to address to be successful online.
– How to design an array of products and services to satisfy customers from around the globe.
– 4 steps to launch your online business for free using WordPress.com and other free tools.

I am not a web specialist. I am just a regular person who wanted to earn more and work less, and WordPress helped me do it. Billable hours are limited by manpower, the scope of the internet is nearly unlimited.

As a website developer, you love the part of your job where you get to develop – but you also need to develop communication and project management skills to help you stay on top of projects, interact with your customers, and make sure that projects don’t spiral out of control or take more money or time than you budgeted.

In this talk, Jessi Gurr will discuss the basics of project management. You’ll learn techniques for getting a project started on the right foot – things like making sure that your customer contracts are crystal clear, and setting up clear timelines and project milestones. You’ll also learn how to handle scope creep, and how to deal with projects that have fallen off course.
