Successful Freelancing, Social Media and Career Advice

[spoonitnow]

After private discussions of me laying out copious amounts of solicited advice, I was asked by PM to start a thread about successful freelancing, the role of social media and general career advice for people who are trying to get paid on their own.

So here's how this can work. People can ask me anything about the topic at hand and tangential subjects, and I'll come through and answer a bunch of whatever that's directed to me specifically. I'm also going to repurpose some of my conversations with people to post in this thread about things like appearing to be someone that clients want to hire, how to solicit clients, how to build a reputation and how to borderline automate things like social media that you probably wouldn't otherwise be doing in the first place.

And obviously everyone else is welcome to converse and answer questions and bring whatever it is to the table that they can bring to the table.

But real quick let me say this. I've helped about a dozen people go from 0 to low four figures a month for part-time work in various fields, and I've also helped three or four eventually go from 0 to mid-four figures a month with full-time work by building up a client base for using their respective skill sets. Every single person who has done what I've told them to do for this has added a significant portion of income to their lives, and I pretty much just like helping people in general, so here we go.

Oh and I'm not selling anything.
