Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in freelancing but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Danny Avershal, a writer and producer based in Los Angeles, CA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is dannyavershal.com, and my customers are marketing agencies and publications that pay me for my written content and marketing services.
Tell us about yourself
I started building my content marketing business in January of last year. While I started out mostly blog writing, I've since evolved to mostly ghostwriting and writing for social media or advertisements.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner has been being able to scale my income from $100 to $2000 a month in under a year.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Constantly facing rejection from prospective clients, being left hanging when people don't respond.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Focus on a niche, and get ready to hear "no" a lot. Rejection isn't always personal. Sometimes it really is between you and someone else that is also very qualified. Don't let it stop you from trying.
