Freelancer Story: Virtual Assistant to 6-Figure Agency with Heidi Schmidt [Video]

Freelancer Story: Virtual Assistant to 6-Figure Agency (read more ⤵️)
I love to highlight other freelancers, how they’re doing business, what kind of services they’re offering, what lessons they’ve learned, and in Heidi’s case, sharing how she has scaled to 6 figures as an agency. She’s one of the most recent Digital Marketer’s Workgroup members to share a big win.

Heidi Schmidt is a Social Media Consultant who works with (mostly) small-mid sized woman owned service providers and coaches offering social media strategies and done-for-you social media management. She started freelancing in 2020 at the start of the pandemic and now owns an agency with a team of 5 content creators/VAs who help her create stellar content.

In this episode, you’ll learn about
👉the need for community support and networking in the freelance industry
👉benefits of joining The Digital Marketer’s Workgroup
👉the importance of self-discipline and time management
👉finding a niche and building client relationships

Tune in as Heidi shares her freelancer journey and how she knew when to make the jump from virtual assistant to agency owner.
