JFDI with The Two Lauras - For Freelance Social Media Managers – Details, episodes & analysis

We don’t mean to spoil things, but it’s a Brand Voice Guide, and we bet you haven’t made one for yourself or for your clients yet. It’s such a vital document for every business owner, and for that reason you can make money creating these too. They’re going to help you and your clients sound like the same person across every platform, and help avoid any awkward faux pas where you share a GIF of your clients’ least favourite celebrity…

If you’re thinking, “I have no idea how to make one or even what should go in one!”, you know the drill by now - hit the play button!

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• The ins and outs of Brand Voice Guides - what they are, what goes into them and just how detailed are they?
• Who needs a brand voice and why it’s so important
• Why you’ll easily see the difference between working with clients who have a Brand Voice Guide and those who don’t
• The sort of questions you can ask your client to create their Brand Voice Guide and a quick way to get ahead
