Ever wished you could squeeze a week’s worth of work (and pay) into a single day? Enter the VIP Day. It’s a focused, high-value service where clients get your undivided attention for a set number of hours—think website tweaks, strategy sessions, or content sprints. It’s a win-win: clients get fast results, and you get a cash injection without committing to a long-term project. Our advice? Offer limited spots and shout it out on Instagram Stories to create urgency.

Action Step: Package a service you can deliver in a day and pitch it to your email list or past clients.

Decision fatigue is real, and nobody wants to wade through a vague "let’s chat about your needs" email. Productized services—like a “Brand Audit for $500” or “Instagram Makeover for $800”—let clients see exactly what they’re getting (and for how much). It cuts down on back-and-forth and speeds up your sales process. Plus, you can create a fun “Book Me” landing page to make it even easier.

Action Step: Choose a repeatable task you do often, slap a price tag on it, and share it with your network.

Guess who’s most likely to hire you again? People who already know (and love) your work. A quick, friendly check-in email could turn into your next project. Keep it casual—no stiff “Dear Sir/Madam” vibes. Something like:

“Hey [Client’s Name], hope you’re doing well! I’ve got a few openings this month—want to chat about any projects on your radar?”

You’d be surprised how many people have tasks piling up and just need the nudge.

Action Step: Send a quick follow-up email to three past clients today. You never know what’s waiting.

Okay, I (Sara) don’t know what is in the air atm but I have been feeling all kinds of frazzled. Like, waking up in the middle of the night thinking about client work and not being able to sleep frazzled. A huge thing that has been helping me calm my over active brain is Calm (not an ad), just love it and want to help all the other anxious freelance girlies out there. Their mediations are the best!
