A belated note to say I'm sorry I've been missing these. 6 pm on Thursdays aren't the same for me these days, so I often miss them. Fingers crossed, I'll be back soon.
#FreelanceFriends
I couldn’t make it last week, so I’m looking forward to catching up with everyone on Thursday!
#FreelanceFriends
Happy Monday, #FreelanceFriends!
We all know past partnerships can generate new freelance work. This week, @devonellington.bsky.social Devon Ellington will guest host a chat about creative ways to keep in touch with clients, during and after collaborations.
Join us on 2/5 at 11am CST on Bluesky.
Happy Monday, #FreelanceFriends!
Have you considered hiring business support? Or, maybe you already work with a virtual assistant or a web designer. Many freelancers are a business of one. But, that doesn't mean we can't have a little help from our friends!
Let's discuss: Jan 29 at 11am CST.
I can’t imagine.

😂😂
I just needed to convert those to Celsius and omg 😳
Oh dear 🥴😂
Thanks for hosting today's #FreelanceFriends chat @angelatague.bsky.social 🙏🏻
I've got to duck out a few minutes early, so I will catch up tomorrow (I think I missed a few despite clicking on the hashtag, lists, and people's names, argh!)
PS. Stay warm, everyone.
That's a brilliant result! It's often the most basic of things that get us the best results, right? You've inspired me to do the same.
#FreelanceFriends
Yep, that's a good one.
#FreelanceFriends
So very true!
#FreelanceFriends
Oh, thanks, Sandy! I appreciate that, as it's taken me a bit of time to nail it down.
Thank you :)
#FreelanceFriends
Good luck with your deadline, Alison! And stay warm 😳
#FreelanceFriends
It's a shame you couldn't make it, Roy. Good luck with the rewrite!

Thanks, Amy. I appreciate it, as I find it hard to get this stuff right (even though I work with words 🙈).
#FreelanceFriends
A3: Yes, I will, because I've had a few enquiries that weren't interesting enough to pursue. I replied, of course, but it made me realise I need to sharpen my messaging to weed people out and save us all time.
#FreelanceFriends
In France and beyond. I have this further down on my homepage (and on my LinkedIn, etc.): I'm based in France, work in English, and partner with social impact founders, community leaders, and purpose-driven teams worldwide. After all, changemakers are everywhere!
#FreelanceFriends
That made me giggle, as I worked with many engineers during my in-house comms days. Some were cooperative, while others were reluctant to share...like getting blood from a stone!
#FreelanceFriends
PS. I realised I didn't really answer the question...I obviously need to work on how I describe myself, haha!
#FreelanceFriends
A2: Not yet, but it's something I'm working through right now as I'm thinking about dropping funding research from my services. I'm part of a marketing membership that is helping a lot in refining my messaging.
#FreelanceFriends
A1: On my homepage, I have: Words that win funding for changemakers. Grant writing for organisations and founders making a positive impact, especially for women and girls.'
I'm working on refining this because 'changemakers' is perhaps too broad. It's a work-in-progress!
#FreelanceFriends
I'll refrain from expletives, but WTF?
#FreelanceFriends
Hey Amy, great to see you here. Just sorry to hear about the snowstorm coming your way. That sounds pretty scary.
