Wow. Freelancing can be confusing. Tough, in fact.
When I first started this crazy life, I had to figure out so much. To make matters worse, I had to do nearly everything alone.
Not anymore.
I’ve freelanced since ’95 and opened Filbert Publishing in ’01. That feels like a million years ago, and it probably is in Internet time.
Through the years, I’ve made every mistake possible. Twice. (The second time was verification of said mistake.) 😛
During that time I’ve figured out how to:
- Research not only your topic but potential audience for your project
- How to test ideas before you invest a ton of time in them
- Create a profitable zine for little to no money investment
- Create autoresponder series that keep subscribers engaged
- Work with various email marketing companies
- How to easily spot a scam
- Create a profitable website… an easy peasy method
- Build a strong author platform that’ll weather nearly anything life can throw at it
Cut your learning curve and schedule a one on one consulting session.
If you’re thinking of publishing a book, I can show you how to:
- Publish “work horse” titles that create a steady income

- Properly register your project, set up all the paperwork to list it everywhere that matters
- Retain permanent ownership of every aspect of your work
