ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode, we meet Desire Lacap, a freelance filmmaker and content creator who took the leap into freelancing just a year ago.

Desire talks about how she grew her social media following by sharing filmmaking tips and tricks, which led to brand partnerships and exciting opportunities like working with Adobe.

We hear the challenges of balancing passion projects with paid work, the importance of avoiding burnout, but very much not-avoiding making real life connections in your industry.

And here's a great freelancer philosophy -"passion over profit."
If you follow the passion... the profit will come.

We also have insights into building a personal brand, managing client relationships, and staying true to your creative vision whilst keeping the customer happy as a freelancer.

Purpose Driven Freelancer Ettie Bailey-King

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Ettie struggled with traditional education systems due to undiagnosed ADHD and felt out of place in the normal working world.

It all changed when she started her own freelance business - literally creating a job title for herself.

Determined to make a difference in the inclusive language and accessibility space she set about educating others through content creation. Using LinkedIn posts, her in-depth ‘Fighting Talk' newsletter on Substack, and speaking engagements.

Ettie shares her approach to flexible pricing, balancing pro bono and low bono work with paid projects, and maintaining work-life balance.

Ettie also talks about crafting her freelance business around her values, the importance of branding and photography, and the autonomy and freedom that comes with freelancing.

Through freelancing, Ettie’s created a role that draws on her neurodivergent strengths, whilst using the flexibility of freelance life to set a work schedule that protects her.

She emphasises the need to set boundaries, take care of yourself, and embrace the opportunities for creativity and personalisation to suit your own needs that freelancing offers.

Copywriter Adri Kopp

Épisode 314

dimanche 3 mars 2024 • Durée 42:29

From big cat zookeeper to taming words as a freelance copywriter, Adri's freelancing story starts a little differently. Burnout led to her quitting the zoo before even securing a paying client. A persistence in cold emailing, dealing with rejections that would have made many give up has led to warm relationships and a niche in emails themselves.

Adri shares her approach to cold and warm emailing. And discusses the way she pays attention to what in her work gives her energy.

Adri appreciates the freedom and flexibility that freelancing offers and talks about how she deliberately chose to work less hours to avoid burnout, even if it meant earning less money.

The power of choice - Cultural Consultant Marge Ainsley

Épisode 224

dimanche 5 juillet 2020 • Durée 46:08

After she hit the ten-year mark in her freelance career, Marge took a step back to reassess. She hired a business coach and began reflecting on her values, her ideal clients and the way she structures her time.

In the process, she discovered the power of choice. The choice to work with clients who share her values. To take a month off every summer. To start a second business that fills a creative hole.

Marge chats to Steve about what she learned from that period of reflection and the changes it brought it about. She also talks about her joint side project, Museum Freelance, and the work they’re doing to support and lobby for freelancers in the Arts and Heritage sector.

An appetite for adventure - Photographer and Videographer Steve Zavitz

Épisode 223

dimanche 28 juin 2020 • Durée 43:36

Steve began learning his craft in 2008 and took it professional in 2011. His ambition, back then, was to build a name for himself as an action sports photographer in the world of Parkour (freerunning).

Depsite knowing there wouldn’t be much money in it, Steve gave it a go anyway.

And he invested his time into a second niche, too. Calling on his background and contacts within the food industry, he began shooting for restaurants and then built his portfolio as a food photographer from there.

He explains how he presents the two sides of his work online in a way that appeals to both types of client. He also talks about finding work, figuring out what to charge and trying to move on from Instagram and YouTube.

What do I want my days to look like? - UI/UX Design Consultant Rafal Tomal

Épisode 222

dimanche 21 juin 2020 • Durée 43:25

Rafal taught himself design and started freelancing around his schoolwork at age 16. When he moved from Poland to the United States at 18, and with zero contacts and no design qualification, he landed a full-time job as a developer.

Rafal progressed within the company, designing for some of the biggest websites and blogs out there, all while continuing with freelance work on the side. Until, eventually, he left the job to focus on his business and his personal brand full time.

He formed a small agency with friends later, before leaving because his days were filling up with project management tasks rather than design work.

These days, Rafal’s running a one-person design studio (with help from assistants and other specialists) and selling digital products and courses. “It’s not for everyone,” he says. “But don’t quit too soon. Give yourself a chance to see what’s really out there.”

Nothing is a mistake - Email Conversion Strategist Eman Ismail

Épisode 219

dimanche 14 juin 2020 • Durée 52:30

Eman was working as a production assistant at a local TV station when she realised she wanted to write. She began applying for jobs while at the same time setting up her business and brand.

Eman took a job offer and became the communications manager at a charity. A necessary experience, she says now, even though the commute was a killer and she barely saw her young son.

These days, Eman’s found her own version of work-life balance after leaving the 12-hour days behind. She’s building on the skills she picked up in that first writing job and investing in herself with courses, mentorships and a mastermind.

She chats to Steve about how her freelance career has developed so far, sharing plenty of practical tips along the way.

Finding my own clients - Graphic Designer Christian Tait

Épisode 221

dimanche 7 juin 2020 • Durée 34:21

Christian spent the best part of two decades working in agencies before eventually going freelance. He’d had a couple of trial runs before but this time he wanted to do it properly.

To Christian, that meant bringing in his own clients rather than setting up in the corner of an agency.

And it’s working.

These days, Christian gets most of his work via social media or word of mouth. He talks about taking a slow approach where the focus is on building relationships.

He also chats to Steve about working at home with his wife (a fellow freelancer), collaborating on projects, and finding balance (by riding around on tractors every Friday when he volunteers at the local nature reserve).

Freelance to be free - Art Director and Graphic Designer Lina Forsgren

Épisode 220

dimanche 31 mai 2020 • Durée 28:40

Lina spent a year working at an agency before going to design college. When she did, the agency offered her a first freelance client - the United Nations, Sweden.

She picked up other freelance work while studying and soon founded a feminist communications agency with a friend, bringing together a network of freelancers for shared projects.

A year out of college, Lina went freelance full-time on her own. “I like having my freelance life and to be free,” she says, though she still manages team projects now, as and when it suits her.

She chats to Steve about the speaking gigs that make her anxious for weeks, the time she nearly hit a wall from working too much, and the community she created for women and non-binaries within the creative industry.

A frugal mindset - Action Sports Photographer and Creative Director Reuben Krabbe

Épisode 218

dimanche 24 mai 2020 • Durée 32:12

Reuben left the life of full-time employment behind when he jumped in a van and started chasing athletes around. He’d graduated from photography school during the 2008 financial crash and, with no apprenticeship or staff job, he was finding his own way, meeting new people as he went along.

He talks in detail about how he found work and clients at the beginning and now, including through networking, pitching, making a film and forming a production company with other freelancers.

Reuben also talks about managing the seasonality of his business given that skiing, his specialist area, is a winter sport, and how he manages his cashflow and boosts his income as a result.
