I’ve got something super exciting to share.

After blogging here for 10 years, I’m launching GoForth and Freelance, a twice monthly email newsletter, to help all types of freelancers build a business for their unique superpowers, weaknesses and goals. And in typical Jennifer style, it will be a blend of practical advice and stories about my successes and failures.

This newsletter is in addition to my blog and my writers group on Facebook – neither are going anywhere.  And I hope that you subscribe to both! The blog will continue to cover topics specific to freelance writers, such as niches, craft and types of projects while GoForth and Freelance focuses on designing a business that works for you.  I plan to cover topics such as understanding your perfect client, marketing strategies, negotiating, focusing on your superpowers and getting around your weaknesses.

In case you were wondering, the weenie dog isn’t in the logo (see the bottom of this post) just because I love the breed. My newsletter has a section called Weenie (dog) of the Week, where I will share a story of one of the over 600 weenie dogs I’ve rescued over the past 6 years. And of course, cute weenie dog pictures will be included.

Why am I Expanding Outside of Freelance Writers? 

Over the years, many followers have shared with me that they aren’t a writer, but another type of digital freelance. I’ve heard from many graphic designers, virtual assistants, transcriptionists, translators and more who subscribe to my blog and even bought my book. They just overlook the writing part.

And after my keynote in Australia recently, several people came up and shared that my message was really for all freelancers not just writers. Since my whole goal with my blog, book, and FB group has always been to help more people, I decided to create a newsletter that would helps more freelancers. So that’s where the idea for GoForth and Freelance was born.

I Need Your Help

While this is exciting, I also need your help in getting the word out. And I want to keep helping you grow your own business. I’m hoping this venture won’t be like my blog where no one but my mom read it for the first six months.

Here is what you can do:

1. Signup for GoForth and Freelance here.
2. Share my newsletter launch with your network. (Sharing this blog post on social media would be a great way to do that!)
3. Help me get in front of all types of freelancers. I really want to get my message to a wide variety of different types of freelancers. If you are in FB groups or other communities for all freelancers or other types besides writers (such as virtual assistants, transcriptionists, translators, graphic designer, UX designers, and anyone else working on a contract basis), I’d love for you to spread the word.

Take moment and subscribe to GoForth and Freelance. I am super excited about this new adventure – especially the weenie dog stories. I’ll send a new email every other Wednesday starting November 30. Will you be reading?
