I couldn’t make it last week, so I’m looking forward to catching up with everyone on Thursday!

#FreelanceFriends

Happy Monday, #FreelanceFriends!

We all know past partnerships can generate new freelance work. This week, @devonellington.bsky.social Devon Ellington will guest host a chat about creative ways to keep in touch with clients, during and after collaborations.

Join us on 2/5 at 11am CST on Bluesky.

Happy Monday, #FreelanceFriends!

Have you considered hiring business support? Or, maybe you already work with a virtual assistant or a web designer. Many freelancers are a business of one. But, that doesn't mean we can't have a little help from our friends!

Let's discuss: Jan 29 at 11am CST.

I can’t imagine.

😳😳😳

😂😂

I just needed to convert those to Celsius and omg 😳

Oh dear 🥴😂

Thanks for hosting today's #FreelanceFriends chat @angelatague.bsky.social 🙏🏻

I've got to duck out a few minutes early, so I will catch up tomorrow (I think I missed a few despite clicking on the hashtag, lists, and people's names, argh!)

PS. Stay warm, everyone.

That's a brilliant result! It's often the most basic of things that get us the best results, right? You've inspired me to do the same.

#FreelanceFriends

Yep, that's a good one.

#FreelanceFriends

So very true!

#FreelanceFriends

Oh, thanks, Sandy! I appreciate that, as it's taken me a bit of time to nail it down.

Thank you :)

#FreelanceFriends

Good luck with your deadline, Alison! And stay warm 😳

#FreelanceFriends

It's a shame you couldn't make it, Roy. Good luck with the rewrite!

Thanks, Amy. I appreciate it, as I find it hard to get this stuff right (even though I work with words 🙈).

#FreelanceFriends

A3: Yes, I will, because I've had a few enquiries that weren't interesting enough to pursue. I replied, of course, but it made me realise I need to sharpen my messaging to weed people out and save us all time.

#FreelanceFriends

In France and beyond. I have this further down on my homepage (and on my LinkedIn, etc.): I'm based in France, work in English, and partner with social impact founders, community leaders, and purpose-driven teams worldwide. After all, changemakers are everywhere!

#FreelanceFriends

That made me giggle, as I worked with many engineers during my in-house comms days. Some were cooperative, while others were reluctant to share...like getting blood from a stone!

#FreelanceFriends

PS. I realised I didn't really answer the question...I obviously need to work on how I describe myself, haha!

#FreelanceFriends

A2: Not yet, but it's something I'm working through right now as I'm thinking about dropping funding research from my services. I'm part of a marketing membership that is helping a lot in refining my messaging.

#FreelanceFriends

A1: On my homepage, I have: Words that win funding for changemakers. Grant writing for organisations and founders making a positive impact, especially for women and girls.'

I'm working on refining this because 'changemakers' is perhaps too broad. It's a work-in-progress!

#FreelanceFriends

I'll refrain from expletives, but WTF?

#FreelanceFriends

Hey Amy, great to see you here. Just sorry to hear about the snowstorm coming your way. That sounds pretty scary.
