Could you be a freelancer in the creative or music industry?

Freelancers are self-employed professionals who work in a range of professions from producers, writers, photographers, musicians, managers and label promoters. For many, freelancing is a full-time business, but for others, it’s about turning their passion into a side hustle, earning extra money alongside their day job or studies. Freelancing has become the norm in the many industries, offering individuals the chance to work on different projects and the flexibility to shape their careers. So, if you’re interested in turning your talent or passion into your own business, the Go Freelance Series could be for you!  

Run by creative and music freelancers with valuable real-life lessons to share with you, we’ll help you answer key questions including:  

Is freelancing for me? 
How do royalties work? 
How do I find my first freelance clients? 
How to create multiple streams of income for your work in the music industry 
How do I set price and get paid?
How can I overcome common freelancing challenges and succeed? 

These events will also:

Help you identify practical steps for getting started 
Introduce you to the realities of life as a freelancer  

And for the finale? Exclusive networking opportunities where you can chat with our freelance speakers over some food and drinks.
