Money, Mindset, and Momentum: What New PR Freelancers Must Know

[johnblockbuster]

Financial foresight and consistency are crucial for PR professionals turning freelance in 2026.

Consultant Georgia Atkins advises starting with a financial safety net:

“Have a back-up fund — enough to cover three months of bills. That buffer means you can choose your clients carefully and build your business the right way.”

Meanwhile, Sanina Kaur of SK Copy Co warns that success doesn’t come from posting “Open for work” on LinkedIn.

“Get into the habit of proactive outreach from day one — and keep doing it even when you’re fully booked.”

The message: sustainable freelancing depends on balancing confidence, cash flow, and constant client generation.
