Last February when work was dead I dropped $180 on some online course promising to help freelancers stay busy. It was just fancy-priced checklists and a guy repeating stuff from old blog posts. I got maybe two useful tips out of 40 videos, and one of them was basically "email people more." Anyone else get suckered into buying something shiny during a slow month?
I landed two small editing gigs out of nowhere, both from old clients I hadn’t heard from since January. Made $450 in six hours, which usually takes me a week in the slow season. Anyone else get random good days when everything feels dead?
