What the Heck is This Book?
"Ditch Your Cubicle, Not Your Life: Become a Freelance Instructional Designer in 7 Months" was written by IDLance Co-Head Honchos Andrea Dottling and Dr. Parker Grant. They're not experts but have walked a mile or two in your 9-5 dress shoes and want to make your journey to freelancedom a little less tummy-churning than theirs was.
From the moment you decide to quit your job to the exhilarating launch of your freelance instructional design career, we provide you with a month-by-month roadmap to success. Each chapter is filled with practical advice and actionable steps, ensuring that you have everything you need to make your dream a reality! In this case, we're referring to your freelancing dream, not the "world's largest pillow fort" one. But that sounds really cool, too!
Forget about theory - this book is all about practicality! We share insider tips, tricks, and strategies that we've learned through our own experiences as freelance instructional designers. You'll gain valuable insights on finding clients, setting rates, managing projects, and building a thriving business.
Sure, launching an ID freelance career might sound like a bit of a monster task... but hey, we're here to keep things easy, breezy, and fun, so you don't have to stress about your IBS flaring up. We promise!
That's Andrea up there!
