🎾I've launched a podcast!🎙️
My first chat is with former @CavershamTennis member and now @PrimeVideo commentator, @LeeCGoodall, who charts his journey from using a sawn-off racquet in Zambia to becoming a supremo behind the mic.

#Contentclubuk THANK YOU! I had a wonderful, whirlwind of a time hosting this morning's chat. I'll follow all of you, and hopefully we can all stay in touch via Slack. Over and out. XXX
Blimey this half hour is going so fast! My last question is:
Free websites vs paid-for websites: is it worth investing in a web designer to create a website and increase SEO, or do you use one of those free web design sites such as Wix or Squarespace?

2. When you started your freelance business, what did you find was the most effective way to attract clients? Do you target them directly, or do you wait for them to come to you?
#contentclubuk
So, my first question is:
1. I'm a BBC news journalist, a proofreader, a radio presenter, a radio producer, and a copywriter. When you market yourself to potential new clients, do you think it is better to list ALL the skills you have, or focus on one?
#contentclubuk
When marketing yourself to new clients, should you list all the skills you have? E.g. copywriter, radio presenter, proofreader, voice-over artist, and journalist. #contentclubuk
35%Yes, to get more clients
65%No, best to focus on one
