This week I came across a short
article entitled, “10 Useful Marketing Tools for Freelancers.” I thought this had a lot of interesting and
helpful ideas for those of you out there, like myself, that are freelancers trying
to get their name out there. What I really enjoy about this article is that it
still allows you to be completely creative while making sure you are covering
the self-marketing essentials. This is great since we’re in a creative industry
and need more chances to show what we can do and stand out to potential clients
and/or employers.
A big part of this article
focuses on social media. While a lot of people may consider this more on the
casual, unprofessional side, it is a reality that this type of media is a very
strong influencer on people’s lives. That being said, with the abundance of
sites out there like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, blogging sites,
etc., Vuong mentions ping.fm as a free and simple way to update everything at
once. It is a fantastic feature for those of you on the go.
