Freelancer Magazine Marketing School
Feedback and Reviews

 
Sophie, as you know I can’t praise your course enough. I have been in events for 25 years in many roles including sales and marketing but now as a freelancer with a small Ltd company and changing direction I wanted to understand today’s marketing methods. I have learnt so much very quickly and was never bored! You have helped me more than you will know. The course structure was fun and interesting. Every small/new business and freelancer should sign up. Thank you again, Sophie.

I have to say that I was somewhat sceptical, but I recognised something different about your offering… something genuine and unique. Now I’m working through the course I can really see the benefit, it’s giving me an exciting focus to my own marketing activities.

Frankly, this is the grooviest wee gem of a course. You definitely are a witch as I’m under some sort of benign magical brain buzz-building spell. I know this because I’m zipping through exercises like building a client persona (I’ve struggled with this type of stuff in big fat expensive courses for years!) Frankly, this is the grooviest wee gem of a course. You definitely are a witch as I’m under some sort of benign magical brain buzz-building spell. I know this because I’m zipping through exercises like building a client persona (I’ve struggled with this type of stuff in big fat expensive courses for years!).I’ve benefited heaps from your savvy advice on looking at who I know and where my clients came /come from. You gave me the jolt I needed to touch base with some favourite former clients and that has generated a tidy pile of new work. So un grand merci for the nudge. 🙏

Doing Sophie Cross’ marketing course. So much stuff I’d forgotten I know. Superb.

Thank you so much, I got loads out of it. It’s incredible value, there is so much content in the course. And I know there’s more to come once the learning has settled and percolated, lots to come back to. It really made me think – not just about marketing, but about what I do, who I want to work with, and, importantly, how to make my marketing more about them.

I spent way too long on my waterpark. I love your analogies, they really resonated. I want to be pistachio ice cream. Unexpectedly, it also made me think about my CPD and where I want to head with some more learning.

A huge thank you - I am learning so much. The course is giving me so much more confidence and I’m enjoying it too. I am taking away small bite-sized chunks that really pack a mighty punch.

I’m really enjoying the course (and I’m a very sceptical person about these types of courses). But with this one I figured I should leave my attitude at the door and just follow your advice. The way you describe things is giving a very clear purpose and it’s like a light switch has been flicked.

I think you’ve nailed the length of each lesson. I don’t complete courses because they eat into my time and repeat things I already (think) I know. But you’ve made it very concise which is ideal because it respects the reader while still getting across your point.

I wanted reassurance that I know what I’m talking about (I’m a marketing strategist, too) - I 100% got this and flipping loved every second of your course. I also wanted confidence to show up for myself - this reassurance and working through each step, writing tangible plans, has helped with this. I don’t think I’ll be fully confident until I push myself to get started and really go for it. So, that’s what I’m going to do.

Love how interactive, easy to understand and varied it is! Oh and definitely fun! It’s motivating me not only with my project and how to best do it but also general life motivation!

The course is great so far, Soph! Has really helped me to deep dig and think outside of the box for target audiences and how to position myself as a business. Thanks!
