Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a photo of your workspace, and something you like to do for fun. 😊

I am Priscilla, and this is where women figure out how to work from home without guessing their way through it. Whether you're still in a full-time job, freelancing on the side, or trying to find your first client, you're in the right place. Drop a comment below with: 1. Your name and where you're based 2. What you did (or still do) professionally 3. What you're working toward, whether that's your first client, replacing your income, or just more flexibility 4. One thing you're stuck on right now I read every one of these and I'll reply. If I see a way to point you in a better direction, I will. Two things that make this community work: be specific when you ask for help, and celebrate the wins here even when they feel small. First discovery call booked counts. First $500 counts. Glad you're here.

I want to hear from all of you, what is your top for for 2026? My goal is to have 300 members here in Margin Makers!

If there’s one habit that will quietly, but dramatically, increase your close rate as a freelancer, it’s this: 👉 Always send the proposal. Not• “I’ll get to it later.”• “I’ll send it tomorrow.”• “Let me circle back when things slow down.” Send it while the energy is high. If you can, schedule discovery calls at a time when you know you’ll have space immediately afterward to write and send the proposal. 🚫 Don’t book calls right before: - School pickup - Dinner - Another meeting - Life chaos Momentum matters more than perfection. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this exact sentence from a client: “You were the only one who actually sent a proposal.” Let that sink in. Not the best résumé.Not the most experience.Not the fanciest credentials. The only one who followed through.

Hot take: Over-niching too early is costing freelancers money. Yes, niche down in SKILLS. DON'T lock yourself into one role, title, or industry and call it strategy. In the 2026 freelance economy, calling yourself a “VA” is like saying you’re “good with computers.” Crowded. Underpaid. Easy to replace. Meanwhile? Roles tied to revenue (marketing, sales, ops, e-commerce) are growing fast—because when businesses get nervous, they cut support, not money-makers. Add AI to the mix, and the bar just got higher: If you’re not AI-savvy, systems-minded, and revenue-adjacent, you’re competing for the lowest-paying work. And here’s the real risk no one talks about 👇Putting 100% of your income in one niche = fragile finances. One market shift. Two paused clients. And suddenly your mortgage is relying on “good vibes.” The smarter move? Diversify with intention. Example: • One premium anchor role • One adjacent ops role • One lighter support role That’s real stability. Real income. No burnout. Bottom line: The goal isn’t “booked & busy.” It’s diversified, paid well, and unbothered. You’re closer than you think. And if you’re booking vacations, paying for dance classes, and somehow still ending up at Target… 😅 It might be time for a new client.
