She’d been involved in ‘Email Geek’ communities online, and by being active, helpful and enthusiastic about her work, her name got around and she was picking up bigger clients.She chats to Steve about where her work comes from now, how she manages her time, her experience of attending and speaking at events, and how she avoids distraction in her work by getting herslef into the ‘Code Zone’.This episode of Being Freelance is supported by With JackWith Jack exists to help keep you in business by supporting you financially or legally if you have problems with a client.With Jack is all about giving freelancers the insurance they deserve.Visit withjack.co.uk and be a confident freelancer.Support also comes from Coconut.Coconut is the one simple app you need to manage your business finances when you’re self-employed, with banking, bookkeeping, invoicing and tax all in one place.Free yourself from business admin at getcoconut.comLove learning from other freelancers like this?
