Getting testimonials is a great way to build your personal brand. Ask clients for one and make it a standard part of your process.

#tui horrific! Both cases lost and communication is just awful. Never ever booking again

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

@realBrookNash Do what you promise.

I have a *rare* space to take on one new client from next month. If you are (or know someone who is) looking for a freelance writer that:

⚡️Writes about ecommerce marketing, and the creator economy
⚡️Has lived experience of all three (owning an ecom store and a community)
⚡️Written for Shopify, Descript, Business Insider, CXL, and more
⚡️Writes SEO-optimized content with lots of product tie-ins
⚡️Has never missed a deadline in almost 7 years

...and more importantly, gets glowing results like this 👇 let me know!

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

@justingordon212 A continual process.

[Elise Dopson @elisedopson]

Interesting preliminary data coming from our "State of Hiring Freelancers" report 👇

Clients value how easy a freelancer is to work with more than the results they drive.

(Freelancers: this is why meeting deadlines and proactive communication are bigger competitive advantages than writing quality.)

We still need a lot more responses before we can draw more accurate trends and publish the data. So, if you're a content manager that actively hires freelance writers, please take 5 minutes to help us out:

@DomKent I can relate to this a little. My son is 6ft 9 and finds travel (and other things) hard too.

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

@karadetwiller I always wanted to work for the secret service/Mi5, and still do! (Keep it quiet though, don’t tell anyone) 😂

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

@DomKent Google Docs/Sheets/Meet, Asana, FreeAgent, DropBox Sign.

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

@kat_boogaard For sure. This was one of the first processes I learned when starting out!

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

@DomKent Absolutely.

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

Freelancers, do you have income protection insurance for critical illness? As well as having savings, I took out a policy when I started my business over 2 years ago, covering an estimated income.

This figure is now underestimated.

Remember to update your policy annually to match your current earnings.

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

@DomKent It can be either a % of your annual income or lump sum payout. I used a comparison website to play around with the level of cover, premium and understand some of the qualifying criteria.

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

@realBrookNash - 2 years
- First project £25. Now rates start around £700
- Business coaching

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

@Maheen_Writer Yep! 🤣

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

This isn’t how to start building relationships. The end.

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

@nidhiikala 100%

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

@kaitarford My very first article was £25!

[Tracy Rawlinson (SME HR/L&D/Leadership writer) @rawlinsonwrites]

@dannybster Same here.

No, Grammarly, changing sickness 'leave' to sickness 'go' doesn't quite work.
