Not only do we need to declutter our physical working spaces, but also our digital spaces too – to give us a fresh start for a fresh new year.

Not only do we need to declutter our physical working spaces, but also our digital spaces too – to give us a fresh start for a fresh new year.
So much has happened over the past 12 months that it seems almost impossible to recap it in a single post, from personal changes to universal problems that never seem to end. It’s been a hard year for many, and whilst there is a small glimmer of hope for 2021, in this post I wanted to recap some of the highs and lows of 2020.
Bubblegum pink meeting rooms, fluffy unicorns, free ice lollies, and high heels — the emblem of female empowerment within Manchester’s Missguided head office.
So in this week’s blog post, I wanted to talk about what to expect when working with a freelancer, and most importantly, the six top reasons NOT to hire one.
These days, it can feel like everyone – from big-name brands to small creators and influencers – has started a podcast. The internet is buzzing with different genres, niches and voices, and no matter what you feel like listening to, there’s always a podcaster for you.
For this week’s blog post, I’ve created a step-by-step guide to creating, designing and implementing your very own DIY branding for your small business.
As a freelancer, money is always a big topic of conversation. From handling our own income tax to budgeting for quieter periods, it can often feel like a struggle to stay afloat. Particularly in times like this, where every penny counts, we can’t afford to be wasting our cash on non-essentials – even if we’re told they might just save our business.
Marketing mistakes can happen to the best of us. Tweets don’t get scheduled on the right day, we forget to use the right hashtag in our Instagram post, we attach the wrong image or we use the wrong link for customers to click on. Simple, small errors that slip through the cracks, but can often have a big impact on both the reputation of the brand and your own marketing career as well.
Whenever I speak to new clients or other freelancers, once of the first things they to ask is ‘how did you design your website?’
In an office environment, I learnt to utilise and expand on so many of my personal skills, putting them to good use to help my colleagues, my teams and my projects succeed. Then when I became a freelancer, it was easy to simply transfer those soft or personal skills over to my clients and their projects instead.
Throughout lockdown, with many of us now working from home, there has been a subtle yet important shift when it comes to the concept of freelancing.
I explore the different ways in which we motivate ourselves, and try to determine which one is the most effective for getting the work done well.
