Creating your own content as a creative and freelancer


On today's solo show I talk about content and content marketing for creatives, freelancers, and businesses. You have probably heard this word a lot over the last year or two. For those listening who are involved with marketing it has been around for a long time but it seems to be a word that has made its way into all freelancers and creatives vocabulary - and I am glad it has.

By the end of this episode, you should have a better idea of what content is, how to come up with some ideas for you and your business, and be able to add content creator to the list of skills you have for your business or personal brand. It will also help you to know what to post online and help you to market yourself.

Networking for creatives, freelancers and performers

Networking seems like a dirty word, but your career is built not just on your talent and skills but on the connections you have or are yet to make. 

Networking isn't just about making new connections, it's about nurturing the ones you already have.

There is a fantastic quote by Porter Gale which is:

"Your network is your net worth."
