Book Summary

Free Money is a pricing and money mindset guide for freelancers and consultants. If you aren’t confident in your prices, this book is for you.

Your prices impact your income and lifestyle, and as you may have noticed, pricing is a hard knot to pick apart. One writer charges $100 for a case study, and another, $10,000.

Why? Is the second writer a hundred times better? No.

Factors other than raw talent come into play, and Free Money will untangle the pricing knot by guiding you through a step-by-step process to identify the seven key numbers you must know.

  • Using those numbers, you will calculate smart, strategic prices that cover your immediate needs and move you toward your long-term goals.
  • Wayfinding exercises will help you pick your next three priorities, and a careful analysis of five money scripts will help you examine your relationship with money and decide if your beliefs are serving you.
  • You’ll learn principles and best practices for navigating real-world situations freelancers face. You’ll also get answers to the most frequently asked questions about pricing.

This book is your clarifying, confidence-boosting map to higher earning and a more satisfying freelance business.

Testimonials

“As organisers of The Content Byte Summit in Sydney Australia, we were thrilled to have Austin L. Church as our keynote speaker to open the Summit in September 2024. We flew Austin to Sydney for the event, and were blown away by the quality of his presentation and his professionalism throughout. Attendees at the Summit were universal in their praise of Austin’s presentation, and impressed by his commitment to the event, which included many one-on-one chats with participants during breaks. Almost all the feedback about the event included Austin’s talk as a highlight of the Summit and an impressive speaker. We couldn’t recommend Austin more highly as a speaker or facilitator for any large event.”

“Austin Church’s presentation is what I’d like to see more of. He did a great job of giving something very practical and step by step that applies to everyone. He also touched on the heart of what makes being an entrepreneur hard and how to push through seasons of doubt.”
