Getting testimonials is a great way to build your personal brand. Ask clients for one and make it a standard part of your process.
#tui horrific! Both cases lost and communication is just awful. Never ever booking again
This is such a great event. The day isn’t over and I’m looking forward to tomorrow already! @brightonseo

I have a *rare* space to take on one new client from next month. If you are (or know someone who is) looking for a freelance writer that:
⚡️Writes about ecommerce marketing, and the creator economy
⚡️Has lived experience of all three (owning an ecom store and a community)
⚡️Written for Shopify, Descript, Business Insider, CXL, and more
⚡️Writes SEO-optimized content with lots of product tie-ins
⚡️Has never missed a deadline in almost 7 years
...and more importantly, gets glowing results like this 👇 let me know!

Interesting preliminary data coming from our "State of Hiring Freelancers" report 👇
Clients value how easy a freelancer is to work with more than the results they drive.
(Freelancers: this is why meeting deadlines and proactive communication are bigger competitive advantages than writing quality.)
We still need a lot more responses before we can draw more accurate trends and publish the data. So, if you're a content manager that actively hires freelance writers, please take 5 minutes to help us out:

Freelancers, do you have income protection insurance for critical illness? As well as having savings, I took out a policy when I started my business over 2 years ago, covering an estimated income.
This figure is now underestimated.
Remember to update your policy annually to match your current earnings.
I always discuss a potential referral with a fellow writer. When I receive emails without any prior conversation, I question whether it’s legit.
How about you? Do you discuss potential clients with other writers before referring them?
Ask your client for one area where they think you can improve. Even with zero edits, don't assume everything is going well; get feedback. There might be some things you're unaware of.
Happy New Year!
None of that new year new me stuff for me. I will simply say...new year new goals, new year new challenges.
Stay positive, stay focused, stay healthy stay fit, stay the best version of you!

OK, I'm going to be *that guy*...
I'm at 2,982 followers, and I'd love to crack 3k before '24. Can you help?
I tweet 1-2x/day about longevity & success on your terms for freelancers & consultants. Anti-hustle, pro-balance. Occasional snark.
Thx!

Here’s your reminder that it’s the perfect time to reflect on what type of clients you want to work with in 2024.
If you have a client on your roster that isn’t serving you or is causing you unnecessary stress, start thinking about how to let them go.
It’s Saturday. I’ve eaten chocolate cake, pizza, stayed in pjs all day, and had R &B playing on the radio all day. I’ve just written one of my best blog posts.
There’s a message in that, right?
