The C-Word... (How to freelance and earn money)

[@MariaReynoldsWeir]

Great stuff here. As a career switcher from teaching to marketing, this is so helpful.

[@Sarah_Stacks]

Ahh I appreciate your kind words Maria! I made that switch myself in 2013. Very eye opening. You can find ways to teach still since it's probably an important piece of who you are. What kind of teaching --> what kind of marketing?

[@MariaReynoldsWeir]

@@Sarah_Stacks Presently higher education but I did B2C and B2B when I first started. I heard of you when I asked a fellow teacher who his wife followed to the industry and she mentioned you!

[@TiberiuMusat]

Can you be more specific why you consider the feedback you've shown to be rude?

[@Sarah_Stacks]

I love that you asked Tiberiu! I think it comes down to the fact the editor/commenter didn't use any softening language. I think without a lot of 1:1 chemistry/teamwork development, being too direct and sharp can come off as demanding and aggressive. So, this is an anonymous person I don't know (who wasn't involved in the brief or KOC approval) showing up to say "This is bad." I find that rude, personally!
