Tatum Moser, SEO Consultant
Freelance Alliance Graduate
How did you get started as a freelancer?
So my own business, I have a start up um that we began in 2023. And so that has been going strong. And I also run a consulting business to supplement. And I've been doing that now for the last two years.
How were things going before you took the course?
Some of my biggest business challenges before taking this course, I would just say, like, really knowing how to interact with people that I didn't have a shared history with, you know, and knowing how to make sure that I was offering value and doing appropriate discovery, making sure that I knew enough about what their needs and what their goals were before I tried to make any recommendations and coming into that brand new and getting the structure from you for how to run those discovery calls was just amazing.
What made you choose the Freelance Alliance course?
Honestly, if I could take a course from anyone, it would have been you and you just happened to be offering it on linkedin. And I was like, what are the odds of this happening? Like, right, when I, I want to start doing what she used to do, she's teaching people how to do it.
What were some of the highlights from the course?
I would say the discovery and lead generation because again, I was like, how do I, how do I find clients? I can't believe how much I got out of every other section. It was just crazy. They, they were, every single session was so useful. The audit and strategy. That was incredible. It was getting like a master's level level education in SEO which is just, I mean, I've been doing this for so long already, but there were definitely some missing pieces for me, you know, where it up leveled my game, so dramatically, so quickly. And that I really appreciated more than anything. You giving us those templates and showing us how you ran your audits, how you constructed your strategies and being able to think through it and adapt it for my own purposes and practice has just been incredible. Yeah, the client services portion was amazing. I got to watch that video and I went through your document that you provide to your employees through training. So I imagine someday when I hire people, I love having that template handy, you know, like this is the service expectations that we have for clients and just even having it in terms of a divide and conquer, knowing what people are assigned where and yeah, I just, you must have been amazing at running your own business. Absolutely.
Would you recommend the course to others?
Absolutely. Yeah, this was one of the best classes I've ever. It's one of the best. I mean, I really struggle most classes that I take I'll get like halfway through and just kind of be like, oh, do I, I'm, I'm, I like finishing things so sometimes I'll force myself to finish a course. Even though it's not the most helpful. This one, I was like, I have to like, go back and re-watch, but I've gone back over and over again and watched the same videos like three times, like trying to get a clear idea of like how it works with all the templates that you provided. And then yeah, it was, it was the best. I loved it.
What did you think of the 1 on 1 coaching you received?
I loved it. I feel like it was so personalized. I really appreciated all of support and yeah, just having your office hours being able to meet with us when we were available, working around our schedules and just, yeah, making it so um rich, the experience and the connections with the network, the network is super sweet. I really have enjoyed that a lot and just being able to follow everybody on linkedin and I feel like I have a little bit of a community now of other freelancers trying to do the same thing. So that's really cool.
