| Freelance Service Funnels: DIY, DWY and DFY | 29 May 2025 | 00:05:54 | |
In this episode of The Freelancers Teabreak, I discuss the three tiers of services freelancers can offer: DIY (Do It Yourself), DWY (Done With You), and DFY (Done For You). DIY services include low-cost offerings like guides, training, or templates that clients use independently. DWY involves more interactive options such as memberships or coaching, where freelancers provide support and accountability. DFY is the premium service where freelancers handle tasks entirely, like creating website content, requiring fewer clients at a higher cost. This tiered approach helps cater to varying client needs and budgets without discounting services.

| Are You Allowing Too Much Time? | 22 May 2025 | 00:03:09 | |
In this episode of The Freelancers Teabreak, I discuss how Parkinson's Law can affect our productivity by allowing tasks to expand to the time allotted for them. Instead of dedicating an entire day to a task, try limiting the time you allocate to it.

| Freelancers vs The Patriarchy | 11 Jul 2024 | 00:32:53 | |
Jo Hooper is a coach who takes business owners on the brink of burnout to a bloody great life through challenging, intuitive and rebellious coaching. I live a pretty unconventional life - child free by choice, unmarried by choice, long term house sitting; and am very much unafraid of sticking my head above the parapet and saying the thing. I believe that capitalism, patriarchy and ableism are the trifecta keeping us small, pliant, kind, quiet and poor and am on a mission to help people recognise and change that.
