JFDI — The Show for Freelance Social Media Managers

Who here feels like they started their business for more time and flexibility… and have actually ended up with less of it?! Don’t worry, we were in the same position once, and it’s actually rectifiable with three changes. To find out what they are, you’ll obviously have to tune into today’s episode. And, we’re doing some of the legwork for you by making this a slightly shorter episode so you’ll already have saved 15 minutes – come and DM us and let us know what you did with your spare time!

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• The common experience all us freelancers have gone through where we start our businesses for more time… and end up with less
• Three things you can try out in order to regain your lost time
• Our own examples of how we’ve implemented these tips!

So, if you’re finding clients hard to sign, make sure you listen in to see if you’re doing one of these three things. We’re also talking about Chris Hemsworth, and why our new effect named after him is going to help you stop discounting your services. Intrigued? We thought so! Hit play and find out what we’re on about.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

If you believe that businesses won’t pay four-figures for social media management, we’re happy to tell you that you’re wrong. There’s plenty out there that are – it’s just that unfortunately, you’re not attracting them to you. So, what is it that you’re doing that’s attracting low-budget clients, and turning off the high-paying ones? What can you start doing to attract businesses that are willing to pay you over £1000 per month, every month? 

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• Why social media management is a luxury, premium, exclusive, four-figures-per-month service
• How your messaging and low “starting from” price is turning clients away
• Why your positioning on social media needs to be spot on to attract clients
• The reason that relying on referrals is going to get you nowhere

So many times we go on social media because we want to feel something – happiness, excitement or feeling supported are some common ones. We’ve all known that feeling of finding a reel so funny we just have to send it to someone! So, how could you start incorporating emotional triggers into your own and your clients’ content, to help kickstart more engagement?

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• What emotional triggers are (and what emotions count?)
• Which types of businesses will suit content that triggers emotions
• How to find out which emotions you should target for your audience
• Should you follow trends or give them a miss?

Social media has changed so much in the last few years, to the point that social media management is almost an entirely different role to what it used to be! That’s why in our opinion, we’re finally entering the era where it’s going to be seen as a premium, luxury service that commands a four figure price tag. What can you do then, if four figures is a world away from what you’re charging right now? Grab your headphones – and let’s start planning out what you need to do to get to that point in 2025.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• What we think social media management is going to look like in 2025
• How you can create a better client experience to win over your clients instantly
• Why you need to set clear expectations with your client right out of the gate
• How you can find clients who are ready to pay you four figures per month

As an employee, you’re basically told, “here’s how much money you can have” and you’re left to see whether it will go far enough to buy and do everything you want. As a freelancer – you can work backwards! Plan out the dream holiday, house extension and whatever else – then work out what you need to make. In today’s episode, we’re diving into how you can actually make the amount you need to, so that you can prioritise your life and everything in it, over your work. Let’s shake off those employee mindsets! 

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• Our approach to spending money and why a life-first method suits freelancers so much more
• Getting started with planning out your goals and plans for next year
• Working out what investments you might need to make in your business to make it work better for you
• Figuring out how you can make more money without just working more

Do you remember why you started your business? No? Here’s the episode for you! Your “why” should shape every decision you make in your business (including turning down that client who wants a million calls a month), because it’s just that – YOUR business. You’re no one’s employee and you can do whatever you like. But if you’ve lost sight of why you started, and have ended up running a business you’re falling out of love with, maybe it’s time you sat down and got yourself realigned (and not in a “woo” way. Just a normal way). 

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• What each of our “whys” are and how they’ve slightly changed over the years as we’ve changed
• Benefits of freelancing vs being an employee (and a reminder that you aren’t an employee of your clients as a freelancer!)
• Getting your business aligned with what you actually want and your interests
• How you can share parts of your “why” with your audience to create connections
