Instead a full episode, here's a look behind the scenes of what I'm (Steve Folland - freelance podcast editor) up to in my own business. This week I realised if I'm going to pay for an advert for my services, there's something I need to do first...

This is the first time I've done this as an episode.

A quick behind the scenes of what I'm up to with my own freelancer business - as a freelance video and podcast editor. 

If you'd like to go even more behind the scenes, check out my freelancing life vlog on YouTube.

If I'm going to pay for an advert for my services, there's something I need to do first...

And you can do this too.

It's not about a major overhaul of your website. 
Instead sit with a fresh cuppa and fresh eyes and see as if you're someone discovering you for the first time.

If someone clicks through on LInkedIn to your profile, what will they find?
Mine is linkedin.com/in/stevefolland

Likewise to your website.
Mine is stevefolland.com

Look at your LinkedIn profile. 
Is it up to date for the work you're doing today? Do the links they click out function properly?

Look at your website. 
Are the services you want to be known for the most obvious? 
Does your contact form work? 
Is your blog active or making it look like you've gone out of business?

If you're going to shout about yourself so that people pay attention, make sure what they find is true to you today.

Underheard Bianca Being a freelance writer, people often think I live one of those shiny social media lives. Sure - there are shiny parts, but I want to shine a light on what it’s really like to work for yourself. What it does to the head, the heart and the soul. In this podcast I’ll be exploring the emotional and psychological aspects of being a freelancer - I’ll be talking about the stuff that most people don’t say out loud. It’s a place of solace for people doing the same thing and a source of advice for others who are planning to take the leap.
