By ashleygainer | August 1, 2019

If you’re going to be a generalist as a freelance writer, how do you even market yourself?

what a disney princess teaches us about freelancing

what my favorite Disney princess teaches us about freelancing and imposter syndrome

By ashleygainer | April 16, 2019

Aside from the culturally obligatory obsession with Ariel among girls my age, I was never much of a Disney girl…until somewhat recently.

Thank you, Ashley! By following your advice I just got my first paying gig.

Without a website or any social media presence! I used the clips I created in Clips Camp and I just decided to go for it. I would not have taken these steps to launch my freelance business without your guidance. You are so real and honest about your journey; you made freelance writing seem possible. And now it is possible for me. I have never felt more confident in myself and my abilities!

Your classes, Facebook group, Instagram, and just general approachability have really driven me to want to succeed at this.

It feels like someone is in my corner all the time. Thanks for your mentoring- keep up the great work!!
