I'd better introduce myself... I'm a freelance copywriter based in St Albans, Hertfordshire. I help businesses and charities grow by writing clear, compelling copy for their websites and print materials. Usually while getting chocolatey crumbs all over my keyboard. Oops. ๐ช
@FHChat A3 Very little! Maybe an hour a week, if that? I intend to increase that soon, but I'm planning to do so in a controlled way by only checking in at certain times each day. I get really absorbed in my work and don't cope well with constant distractions. #FreelanceHeroes
@AliceKHollis @FHChat@HelloMyPA Exactly, Alice. I feel like now I've dipped my toe in the water and got a bit of a feel and understanding for how each platform works, I'm in a better position to come up with a strategy that'll work for my personality, life situation and business goals. #FreelanceHeroes
@FHChat@HelloMyPA A2 The good: connecting with potential clients and chatting with other lovely freelancers. The bad: getting distracted and falling into the comparison trap. #FreelanceHeroes
@WritersBlick A3 Endless confusion and rewrites/revisions, leading to headaches, lost time, confidence crises and too much peanut butter comfort-eaten straight from the jar... I speak from experience. ๐ #ContentClubUK
@WritersBlick A2 Generally, a decent chunk! It's one of the most important parts of the process in my eyes. And getting a really clear brief means revisions are less likely to be needed - which is good for both me and the client. #ContentClubUK
@WritersBlick A1 Client background info, target audience, brand/TOV guidelines, objectives of the piece, what absolutely must/must not be mentioned, keywords, wider marketing strategy, project management... And much more besides! #ContentClubUK
