4 Webinar Sequence Mistakes Editors Make

Don't Do ThisDo This Instead
Trying to edit for everyone, leading to diluted marketing and lower rates.
Identify your ideal client and specialize in a specific type of editing (e.g., academic, fiction, technical). This attracts higher-paying, better-fit clients.
Charging hourly rates that don't account for administrative time or specialized expertise.
Implement project-based pricing or value-based pricing that reflects the outcome you deliver, not just the time spent.
Relying solely on word-of-mouth.
Proactively market your services through a professional website, targeted outreach, and strategic networking to build a steady client pipeline.
Manual project management.
Implement CRM and project management tools to automate workflows, simplify communication, and ensure timely project delivery.
