Freelancers don’t have to create a dazzling social media presence. I've been there too, feeling the pressure to shine in the social media spotlight. But I realized most of my clients didn't even look for me on Instagram or Facebook. It was through word-of-mouth referrals and professional networks. These connections were a far more effective and less exhausting way of finding potential clients. I've watched so many fellow freelancers go all out on social media, trying to outdo each other. What really matters is having a simple and genuine online presence and making solid connections in the right places. In this episode, you learn: How social media can actually be a waste of time when you’re starting out.You don’t have to offer social media services- there are plenty of other tasks you can do!Using a referral network to your advantage to find clients.The best way to set up a minimal viable presence on your socials. If you're feeling frustrated and overwhelmed because you're struggling to find clients as a freelancer or virtual assistant without social media, tune in. You don't have to do social for work, and you don't have to do social as promotion. Let that idea go. It's not true. I’m walking proof.    I need your feedback!

I'm over it. You're promised that as a VA with zero experience, you can rake in a whopping $75 an hour or $100k per year. Sounds enticing, right? But it’s not true.    I've heard about so many VAs stuck making a meager $20 to $25 an hour. You're working tirelessly, but the rewards just don't measure up. I've been there too. I started as a freelance writer, creating press releases for local businesses. Then, I ended up with a retainer client and everything shifted. But I made a mistake. I stayed at $20 an hour for way too long. Because I didn't understand my value. I didn't have the confidence to raise my rates. But I learned more and started delivering high-quality results consistently. I realized it was time to step up and get paid what I'm worth.   In this episode, you’ll: Discover how to uncover your earning potential by saying no to low VA payFind out why having skills and confidence can increase your VA incomeGet the lowdown on money-saving tricks to keep your freelance business financially healthyHear how to make smart investments in courses to help you level up your skills   Don't leave money on the table: Regularly evaluate your skills and the value you provide to your clients and adjust your rates accordingly.   I need your feedback!
