This episode shares practical ways to raise money quickly when self-employment income fluctuates. 

  • First, I recommend personally emailing former clients one-to-one to rebook the same service at their previous rate (while noting your current rate), using a single clear call to action and a limited-time window. 
  • Second, I suggest finding cross-selling opportunities by inviting people who bought a low-cost standalone offer (like a masterclass) to join a larger program, potentially applying their prior payment toward the upgrade. 
  • Third, I encourage re-engaging lost clients or paused prospects—especially those you had strong rapport with—to revisit memberships, courses, or proposals that previously stalled. 
  • Fourth, I advise prompting monthly members to convert to an annual plan for savings and better cash flow, possibly adding bonuses to incentivize upgrades. Listeners are invited to send additional ideas via LinkedIn audio messages for future episodes.
