The Freelancer Talk Podcast

In last week’s podcast, I invited videomaker Iris Boogaard to talk about all things video marketing. We had a great conversation in which we explained what video marketing is and why you should be using it. Next to explaining why you should be using video marketing, we also addressed the power of telling stories. Storytelling is a great tool to get people’s attention and make them stay for more.

But that was not all we talked about!

How can you use video marketing for yourself? What Social Media platforms should you be using? How long should the videos be and where are you most visible?

We’re discussing each Social Media platform out there and tell you where to focus on. We are sharing our favorite video editing software and our quick editing apps. And, we are even going to change the way you think about TikTok!

Video is all around us and unthinkable out of our lives. I strongly believe in the power of video and believe you, as a freelancer, should be using video as well! But I’m not alone! For today’s podcast episode I’ve invited freelance video maker and editor Iris Boogaard. She creates marketing videos for companies and like I said, has her own business.

Check out Iris’ official website! 

Together we came up with a three-part podcast episode which I ended up splitting into two different episodes due to our lengthy conversation! In today’s episode, we are giving you a quick rundown of what video marketing is, how it’s done, and why we think you should be using video for your marketing strategies. In the 2nd part of the episode we are going to be talking about one of the biggest marketing tricks ever invented; Storytelling!

Next week we’ll be back with part three. Where we’ll be discussing how you can be using video in an easy and accessible way for your own business. We’re going to be talking about using videos across all social media platforms, we’re going to be talking about how long these videos need to be and we’re going to go a little bit into using editing software and apps.

Now let’s get listening!

Over the past few weeks I’ve been mentioning the following thing a couple of times already; when you want to grow your business through Instagram, you’re going to need an Instagram Strategy! A strategy is basically a plan of where you want to get, which steps you're going to take and what you are going to use for it.

For today’s podcast, I invited Instagram Strategist Anthony Frasco to discuss what you should include in your Instagram Strategy. Nope, we are not going to hand over a blueprint, but we are going to discuss the various tactics you should use and include when creating your Instagram Strategy!

Make sure you check out Anthony’s Instagram!

We’re going to give you the do’s and the don’ts, the latest trends when it comes to creating an Instagram Strategy for your business or brand, and our personal point of view.

I know, it’s a pretty long podcast but I promise it’s definitely worth your while!

Knowing your worth is essential if you are a freelancer. You have to understand that your hourly rate doesn’t only reflect your actual work for just that hour. But what exactly do you include in your hourly rate? And what do you do when people offer less? Or when is it okay to work for free? And how do you negotiate?

I know that I didn’t have the answers to these questions when I became a freelancer at the age of 21. Luckily I was never a person to shy away from talking about money and negotiation, and over time I’ve come to understand what I’m exactly worth.

I do think that in the world of freelancers and especially freelance artists we need to talk more about these things, we need to educate the next generations on these issues. That’s why ‘Knowing Your Worth’ is this week’s podcast topic!

For today’s podcast, I brought in a guest that has taught me a lot when it comes to knowing what I’m worth, and simply fighting for that as well. He is a freelance dancer and teacher and has fought for better and fair pay throughout his career in different companies. He happens to be my partner but that’s not the reason why he’s on this week’s podcast.

Together we came up with a bunch of do’s and don’ts when it comes to knowing your worth!

If you struggle with things like setting rates and negotiating fees. Then this podcast is a must-listen!

Creating a website is often mistakenly viewed as an effort or something unnecessary. The idea of building a website for your business or yourself, can feel like a big step, investment or something that’s not directly within your expertise. And in a time where we can easily showcase ourselves on social media, who needs a website… right?

Well, I’m here to tell you, the opposite is true!

In today's podcast I'm going to give you 9 reasons why you should have your own website! And I'm going to convince you, so let's get listening!
