It sounds easy: Just put up a website and list what you do. It doesn't have to be hard...
Yeah, we've all heard it. We've probably even said it. (I know I... Bryan... have.) But when it comes time to ACTUALLY start building out a page for prospective clients to learn more about what you have to offer, it's a little more daunting.
- Should I list my prices?
- How much detail is too much?
- What if I don't list the one thing they want to know about?
- How can I keep it from confusing prospective clients?
- What if I offer ongoing production, launches, consultations, courses, trainings, and seasons with three different editing styles? Should I list it all?
These are questions that most of us have struggled with as podcast editors looking for new clients. Listen in to hear how we're working through this as podcast editors ourselves. We don't have all the answers, but maybe we can provoke some thoughts and bring you a little clarity so that you can do what's right for you.
