💡 "How Do I 'Sell' Myself as a Creative Freelancer Without 'Selling Out'?"

Jan 17, 2026

"This is a question I get a lot from writers and creative freelancers -- I hope you enjoy this podcast episode!"

I’m back on Freelance to Founder (you can listen to the last episodes I recorded with them here and here!) with host Preston Lee.

In this episode I talk a bit about my brand new book Write for Money and Power, and then we answer listener Beatriz’s question below on Spotify:

🎙️ Listener Question: How Do I “Sell” Myself as a Creative Freelancer Without “Selling Out”?

Some of the topics we cover in this episode…

Most creatives have lots of limiting beliefs about money. It’s why I wrote Write for Money and Power — we have to reprogram our thoughts so we avoid the starving artist myth.
Instead of thinking of “selling” your art or creativity — shift your thinking to “I’m solving a problem for a client that’s valuable, so I should charge for that value.”
The identity shift of “I’m a professional writer/creator” helps to operate from a better place with clients, with habits, and more.

I hope you enjoy — and be sure to go subscribe to Freelance to Founder for more great episodes!
