Rebookings, Referrals, Reciprocation
If someone were to ask me now, how to set up a successful freelance editing business – I would have to say, I have no idea! It’s been over three-and-a-half years since I quit my office job and went freelance (though it was actually the other way around) and I couldn’t really tell you how […]
