Becoming an editor or coach online
I was a US politics professor, left academia in 2019, and built my copy editing business to $100k by 2024. I’ve since trained over 120 people in the exact steps I used to grow.
I’m giving a free workshop on July 13-15 about how to build an editing or coaching business. It’s framed for academics, but the steps I’m teaching can work for anyone who wants to go into editing or coaching.
Day 1: Dream
Identify who you want to serve and what problems you can help them solve, with real case studies of academics (editors, coaches) who've built successful businesses from their existing skills.
Day 2: Build
The nuts and bolts: what services to offer and how to price them—with examples of real editing and coaching packages. We also cover how to structure and sell packages without feeling like a used-car salesperson.
Day 3: Grow
Find out how to land your first clients without feeling cheesy or gross. I'll give you concrete steps you can take now to start moving forward—without having to create an LLC or make a dramatic public announcement.
