Think companies don’t need your help? Think again.

Hi



You might not know it, but businesses need your help. The truth is even new freelancers can make a big impact for businesses that are just too busy doing what they do. Take my newest client for example.

I love them…they’re nice, easy to work with, a growing company, and they pay well (they’re trying my LinkedIn posts and social media out for about $1K a month). Before me though, they were doing absolutely ZERO work on social media, and had no idea that they could use LinkedIn to generate business. When I asked why they hadn’t gotten started, do you know what their response was?

We didn’t know how.

Basic social media for business and they didn’t know how to start. Social media management is one of the easiest areas to get started in as a freelancer, you just have to have a niche you’re deeply tuned into to give people a reason to sign up with you.

Even if you’re brand new to freelancing, there’s something you know much better than most companies out there, and for the most part, all you have to do is look at their blogs, social media presences, and newsletters to see who might need your help.

Never be afraid to offer.
