On today’s show: how do you go from small, one-off clients to more reputable, big-name brands? It’s a question I pose to Elna Cain, my guest on the show today. Elna is a freelance writer who has worked with big brands like Zapier or Walmart. And in this episode, Elna and I unpack exactly how she got started building her portfolio, how she leverages that portfolio to get new clients, and what she’s doing now to attract even bigger companies. If you’re ready to build up a healthier client base, this conversation with Elna is a must. Stay tuned and we’ll get started right after this quick break.
