I am tired of people saying freelancers suffer from social isolation. And what’s even worse – putting an equal sign between being a freelancer and being socially isolated. It’s a myth. Any individual on a regular 9-to-5 job can be as much socially isolated as a freelancer; and every freelancer can be as much socially connected as everybody else on a regular job. Your work place doesn’t have to do much with it. See why.
Marketing Our Freelance Services on Social Media
Internet and the world in general are changing every day; so is social media. More importantly, it gives endless opportunities for marketing one’s business. For that reason, it’s of crucial importance for freelancers to start leveraging these opportunities early – in the beginning of their freelance careers, while they still have time. Here are a few quick and easy tips to get started.
Deciding What Freelance Services to Offer
Many people come to me saying they don’t have a ‘freelance profession’ or they don’t know what freelance services they can offer to clients. Often they are stuck at this early stage because they put too much pressure on themselves, thinking there’s some kind of magic going on when working as a freelancer.
Let me tell you – whatever your profession is, what you do for a living and what services you offer wouldn’t change much whether you are working as an employee or as a freelancer. The new angel of being a freelancer is that you will have to manage your practice. No boss will tell you what to do – you will have to wear all hats in the office – a marketer, an accountant, a customer service agent, everything that has to do with your business smooth operations. But this won’t change the certain skills you use to offer professional services to clients.
