Freelance Workshop: The Nuts and Bolts

A fellow freelancer and a member of my alumni network, Maya Payne Smart, is co-presenting a series of free Webinars through the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism on how to be an entrepreneur as a business journalist. Joe Grimm, a visiting journalist at Michigan State University’s School of Journalism and a blogger will present along with Smart. The interactive course will be taught one hour a day from Nov. 16-20 and will cover the nuts and bolts of setting up a business from legal and accounting questions to branding and marketing yourself. There will also be a live chat with five successful business journalists turned entrepreneurs. I registered and thought other freelancers or potential freelancers might want to as well.
