Being Freelance

Become An Authority Using Twitter - Logo Geek, Designer Ian Paget


Listen Later

Ian Paget designs logos as a freelance side project, but by using social media has carved himself out as an industry authority. This online brand means all of his work is generated by inbound enquiries. Worth geeking over.

Chatting to Steve Folland, Ian shares his techniques and strategies both on social and in his creating his own site that have helped him build such a strong personal brand.

Here’s some of the key takeaway points:

  • Make social media part of your daily routine
  • Use an app like Buffer to schedule social
  • Keep it up! If you're creating a brand on social, be consistent and
  • persistent
  • If your account is for a professional feed, don't get too personal or
  • deviate from that theme - don't forget why people have followed you
  • Make your twitter pic human, not a logo, people like to follow people
  • and feel the messages are real
