Freelance business training for creative professionals

The course addresses the feast-or-famine pattern that can affect freelance income and examines how service providers can develop a more predictable business. Its principles apply to copywriters, designers, developers, marketing strategists and other creative professionals.

Beginners can work through the foundations, while freelancers earning around $60,000–$80,000 and established professionals can use the material to examine their positioning and business model. Posner’s reported student examples include Jeff Kimes doubling his yearly income and Delia Monk earning €60,000 in six months after landing a dream client.

Amy Posner’s business and coaching background

Posner has built six businesses over three decades. Her experience includes building and selling a Manhattan design agency, leading a telecom sales team and running a six-figure freelance copywriting practice for more than a decade. She also operates a creative agency outside Seattle.

Her Magnetic North Mastermind ran for 10 years before its material was developed into Complete Breakthrough Freelancer. Posner reports that her sales framework generated close to $30,000 per month during her copywriting career; students have used the techniques to close projects valued at $5,000, $20,000 and $27,000.

Business skills beyond creative craft

Posner’s approach emphasizes the business practices surrounding creative work: positioning, pricing, finding clients, conducting sales calls and managing relationships. The course examines how freelancers can move beyond simply taking orders by asking strategic questions and advising clients on their needs.
