Freelance Business Strategies

In 2012 I set out to start my freelancing career. It started out as a back-office service company landing mostly low paying bookkeeping gigs. But by 2016 I had launched several new ventures (and closed a few as well), expanded services, developed resale products, opened up online marketplaces and more.

Within four years (and by the Grace of God), I went from being just a freelancer to running a small agency. And in that time our revenues have more than tripled and our revenue streams have quadrupled. We went from only having a service based income model to now having service, product and passive income models.

In those 4 years I have learned a few basic business principles about being a successful freelancer and so I put together this infographic to help share these principles.
