If there’s one thing I love to celebrate, it’s freelancers getting PAID — and goodness do we have someone to celebrate today.

A while back a freelancer reached out about an unrelated topic, and after we started talking, they dropped a bomb on me: In one month they made $27,000.

My first reaction:

I’m sorry, what?! As in, twenty-seven thousand U.S. American greenback dollars?!

Yes, dear reader, that is correct. On top of that, this person regularly has $10,000 to $15,000 months. Lmao whaaaaaat.

So, of course, my first instinct was: Please let me interview you so you can teach us how to be like you. They requested anonymity, which I have granted, and below is a transcript of an interview conducted over Gchat. Go forth, freelance friends, get paid.
