Sweet Deal: How Fractional Workers Complete the Pie

Fractional workers have been trending since the pandemic, but they’re nothing new.

For many years, they were simply called “project contractors” who worked just until they fulfilled their role in a project. But under any name, they always meet a specific need, for a specific timeframe, and without wasting long-term payroll resources to get the job done. In an era of inflationary budget spending, these short-term, high-impact workers mean big savings.

And it's a role I identify with.

Hi, it's me. I'm that fractional worker.

For small businesses, ministries, nonprofits, and even authors and publishers, I’m that specific slice that can complete your whole pie by tackling the communications task list while keeping you on budget. Maybe it’s finally building (or rebuilding) that website, writing that newsletter that keeps falling to the back burner, setting up that intake form with a handy conversion piece to garner those intakes, making that educational campaign piece for donors or congregants, creating launch materials for that new book for social media. The list of what I do can be long or short, and each contract is a custom creation of your specific ingredients (see what I did there?).

And to top it off, I like educating you on my process with peeks into the creative kitchen, so you can carry forward what I’ve made. I want your sweet victory to last.

It’s a great time to contact me. I’m actively building my portfolio, so I’m offering portfolio pricing to fit your budget for that project. Come say hello, and let’s see what we can cook up together!
