Hello everyone,

Titles can be a bit of a pain for freelancers just starting out. It kind of doesn't matter what your title is as long as it's not confusing and paints a clear picture of what you do.

Hello everyone,

Today I'm talking about balancing work and freelancing. It's really not much to it. You just have to make sure you have the time available to freelance, the commitment, and be able to keep it to yourself. 

So many people get outed for being a freelancer at their jobs and it can go sideways sometimes. Remember, you don't have to share everything with your co-workers. It's best to keep some things private.

Hey everybody,

Today I go over walking away from freelancing or owning a small business. Sometimes it's in our best interest to walk away and focus on other things. This could mean getting a job to support yourself, sharpening up your skills, or getting better at running a business.

Hey everybody,

I'm back with one of those "Top X skills for 20XX" type of podcast. I go into why some skills are just timeless for freelancing. These skills are going to be top skill next year, next decade, and most likely the next century. 

Hello everyone,

Today I Grover why some of us have issues at our 9-5 jobs. Most of the time, it comes from our personalities not being aligned with what a 9-5 job offers.

Some of us are just built different and are more attracted to a freelancing lifestyle. I go over why that is.

Hello everyone,

Courses are an important part of learning a skill but be careful. A lot of course sellers sell on emotion instead of how useful their courses are.

Learning a skill takes time and a lot of patience. Getting to the point where you can apply that skill to projects also takes time.

Keep your upfront cost low when learning a skill and you'll be fine. Being a freelancer requires a lot of upkeep in the beginning before you get established.

Hey everybody,

Today I rant about building your social media presence as a freelancer. 

Don't get too personal. Choose a platform you like. If you're a ghost writer, don't bother. If you have an e-commerce store, do bother.

Somewhere in between? Keep it professional and don't worry about clout.

It's a lot of simple stuff that people mess up.

Hey everyone,

Today I'm talking about how it feels to take time off as a freelancer. The best part about being a freelancer is deciding when and how to work (it's usually a bit more than having a job). 

Sometimes you can feel a bit guilty about taking time off and that's okay. What's not okay is looking to things like hustle and grind culture to fix it.

Hey everybody,

Every small business can utilize social media to increase their bottom line. Writers and freelancers are no exception. The problem is, what kind of writers should prioritize social media? Should the ghost writer worry if they don't have an active social media presence or does the author need the big following?

Hey everybody,

Today I'm going over marketing on Instagram and YouTube. I go over why I think Instagram is the better choice and how YouTube might not be the best option.
