@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 “I’ve never built a website for my business. I have enough work. Don’t get questioned by clients about my lack of website. I share portfolio through email. High referral quality. Just don’t need a website for myself.” @bethsoderberg

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 “I do a lot of fixer upper work. Non-profits. Small businesses. Clients that need rescuing.” @bethsoderberg

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 “Kid focused small business websites. I work on websites where I love the content.” @TaraClaeys

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 “wpbuffs.com/ deals with managing support for client sites from organizations and freelancers” @JosephHHoward

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 What types of clients do you work for?

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 “There are no rock stars and everyone feels like an imposter. Get over it. Move on. Look at what value you bring to a project and not just what you know.” @leedrozak

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 “Sometimes its ok to lose money if you learn something that you can charge more for later” @bethsoderberg

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 “Ask people you trust to see if your prices are right or if you should be charging more. One client keeps saying to charge him more. If you aren’t sure about the work, don’t take it on. Refer out.” @bethsoderberg

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 What have you done to have confidence in your pricing? How do you not undervalue yourself?

“Always charge more. Difference between $1,000 website vs $5,000 website is price tag. Try it and see what happens.” @TaraClaeys

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 “My dog is our head of barketing. Not a great employee.” @JosephHHoward

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 Audience questions: Do you work when your teenagers are around? Why not use your kids as a second hand?

“I tried that. They want nothing to do with WordPress or computers” @TaraClaeys

“Was more stressful to hire my kids.” @leedrozak

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 “Brain.fm, mostly white noise sound” @leedrozak

“Mostly silence. Sometimes I put my headphones in and forget to turn any sound on.” @TaraClaeys

#WCLANC

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 Last question, when you are working what is the music or the sound?

“Silence if task is hard, podcasts if task is easy” @bethsoderberg

“Podcasts while walking dog or in car, not working. Listen to lo-fi hip hop (youtube.com/watch?v=bebuiaSKtU4) when I work ” @JosephHHoward

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 “My dog is my best friend, which is probably weird. But have to walk him 3 times a day. Has opposite effect of a distraction. Helps me think better.” @JosephHHoward

@WordCampLanc @bethsoderberg @JosephHHoward @leedrozak @TaraClaeys @charlie3 “Most businesses fail. Difference is in execution. Discipline is important when working from home. Work on 20% of the things that have 80% of the impact. Findig out which things is hard and important.” @JosephHHoward
