#freelance-gigs - June 07, 2022 at 02:02 PM

Hey all, looking to hire a freelance designer for ad-hoc work - anyone have any recommendations?

#content-collab - May 16, 2022 at 11:33 AM

To write them for other sites!

#content-collab - May 16, 2022 at 11:25 AM

Hi everyone, looking to do some guests posts on managing your finances as a freelancer, using accounting tools, and invoicing as a freelancer. Anyone interested?

#freelance-gigs - March 21, 2022 at 04:23 PM

Hey Rachel all the information should be on the page! At the moment it would be ~ 3 articles per month

#freelance-gigs - March 21, 2022 at 10:06 AM

Hi everyone, Mint Studios is looking for more freelance writers! We're great for writers who:
• Enjoy writing about business/finance
• Are detail oriented and like doing thorough research
• Enjoy writing articles where the main challenge is putting yourself in the position of the reader and understanding what information they need and how to convert them into a customer (Bottom of the Funnel content)
• Enjoy working in a collaborative environment with a strategist/editor
More details including payment, examples of types of articles and other info here: Business Writing Role

If interested, please answer some of the questions in the application at the bottom of that page 👆

Nice. That's what we'll do I think. We're not in a rush and don't need to make massive profits, so might as well take things slowly

#agency-life - February 24, 2022 at 03:25 PM

Awesome. Honestly I want to do this just so we don't stress out and everything is doing slowly and steadily. Did you struggle to get leads/clients once you were ready to accept clients?

#agency-life - February 23, 2022 at 02:56 PM

Hey everyone, have any agency owners experimenting with capping the number of clients they work with? I.e. only working with 4 clients and only accepting more once they have the right systems in place?

#freelance-gigs - January 26, 2022 at 10:54 PM

Thank you!

#freelance-gigs - January 25, 2022 at 12:59 PM

Hi all, I'm looking to recommend a freelance performance marketer to a client of mine. Who should I recommend? Must be freelance (just one person) and bonus points if they are based in Australia or a similar timezone.

#freelance-gigs - January 14, 2022 at 04:56 PM

Hi all, any virtual assistants here? Need some support for a small project that would mostly involve data entry and researching websites. Please DM me if you're available in the next week or so, thanks!

#freelance-gigs - November 10, 2021 at 09:21 AM

Hey @Priyanshu Chhazed I'm going to go through them today and let you know on Thursday!

#freelance-gigs - November 09, 2021 at 02:18 PM

That's so kind of you @Aanchal Parmar! I look forward to reading your portfolio pieces!

#freelance-gigs - November 09, 2021 at 01:48 PM

Yes for sure @Nneka Otika! I care more about the writing than topical expertise 🙂

#freelance-gigs - November 09, 2021 at 12:26 PM

Following on from Brooklin's post: I'm also looking for a freelance writer to support me with client work! Ideally able to start immediately (after a paid trial writer test), and:

• has experience writing non-beginner, advanced content
• is comfortable with interviewing subject matter experts
• is curious or interested in fintech or finance (does not have to be an expert!)
• has bandwidth for ~3 articles per month, with a starting rate of $450/article
• is interested in learning about content strategy and how to turn content into $$$ for clients
I've put more information and a Google Form to fill out here: Business Writing Role

Thank you 🎉

#general - November 01, 2021 at 01:33 PM

It's for fintech marketers! And yes, you're very welcome to join: https://www.fintechmarketinghub.com/slack

#freelance-gigs - October 29, 2021 at 02:32 PM

Awesome, that makes sense. I'll use that then. Thanks a lot Karl!

#freelance-gigs - October 29, 2021 at 02:31 PM

If he doesn't accept the deposit then I'll do monthly payments for 10% premium

#freelance-gigs - October 29, 2021 at 02:31 PM

I like that approach. Usually I never have a problem with upfront monthly payments but this client is being picky, which is why I'm not sure what to do. I can afford to be picky too, but I like this prospect and want it to work out.

#freelance-gigs - October 29, 2021 at 11:27 AM

In this case they are a VC backed startup, so they should have the funds to pay. I like your idea of a deposit: asking for first month upfront and then every month after that 30 days net. Do you think that would work?

#freelance-gigs - October 29, 2021 at 07:26 AM

What would be a good way to meet them halfway?

#freelance-gigs - October 29, 2021 at 07:25 AM

Hmm in my case the agreement is that they can leave whenever they want. It's on a month to month basis. I prefer to bill upfront since this is retainer work, but they say they only pay after 30 days

#freelance-gigs - October 29, 2021 at 06:45 AM

How do agencies bill their clients? Do you ask to be paid at the beginning of the month before the work is completed? Or at the end of the month?

#freelance-gigs - October 27, 2021 at 10:57 AM

Thank you! Will send those over

#freelance-gigs - October 26, 2021 at 11:17 AM

Thanks @Adriana Stein! Will forward this onto them

#freelance-gigs - October 26, 2021 at 11:16 AM

Thank you @althea storm! It seems they focus on content -- do you know if they do brand too?

#freelance-gigs - October 26, 2021 at 09:59 AM

I think it's more on the brand side. So helping them figure out their branding and how to stand out. Is that something you also do?

#freelance-gigs - October 26, 2021 at 09:31 AM

Hi all, I know quite a few people who are looking for B2B brand consultants with a great portfolio. They're looking for an agency that can "help with our next stage of growth, elevating what we stand for and clearly differentiating us in the market."

Know anyone who's really good?

#general - October 19, 2021 at 11:00 AM

Does anyone know a way to create first-click conversion models in Google Data Studio?

Currently, Analytics only seems to provide last-click conversions, but ideally I'd love to see first-click too.

#general - October 14, 2021 at 08:36 AM

Did you publish like every day? Several times a day?

#general - October 14, 2021 at 08:36 AM

Ah good tip. Right now I have way too many channels

#general - October 13, 2021 at 05:14 PM

Thanks @Jimmy Daly (Superpath), great tips in here. I'll read that post. Did you post in every channel at the beginning? We've got 20 people in our community and it's mostly crickets. Should I be the one who keeps publishing everywhere or should I wait till others engage?

#general - October 13, 2021 at 12:58 PM

Any beginner tips for someone who's just launched a Slack community? I love this one and decided to set one up for my specific niche. What are some mistakes to avoid/lessons learnt? @Jimmy Daly (Superpath) 👀

#freelance-gigs - October 08, 2021 at 07:17 AM

Thanks Erik! I'll send you an email. Good to see you around here too 👌

#freelance-gigs - October 08, 2021 at 07:06 AM

Hey all, any crypto writers here? I have a client who's looking for 2 posts per month on a regular basis (worked with them before, they're super nice and pay quickly!).

#freelance-gigs - September 13, 2021 at 02:17 PM

Hey all, I have a client who's looking for a designer or anyone who could format a white paper and add some images/caricatures. Anyone on here who can help or knows someone?

#intros - September 01, 2021 at 09:28 AM

I'm freelance! But I did work with Pomelo Pay for over a year -- they also do POS but with QR codes instead.

#intros - September 01, 2021 at 09:27 AM

Welcome! I'm a big fan of SumUp! Fellow fintech writer here 😎📝

#intros - July 26, 2021 at 02:59 PM

I'm also in Edinburgh! Awesome to e-meet someone else from here 💪

#general - June 25, 2021 at 01:20 PM

Yesss... definitely. That's why I like moving through an industry into one that is different but still related. I work in fintech but slowly moving towards crypto!

#writing-feedback - April 12, 2021 at 04:00 PM

Thank you Dom! 💪💪

#writing-feedback - April 08, 2021 at 03:26 PM

Personally I love newsletters and I batch read them every Monday morning. But I think one every 2 weeks would be great. As Dom says, I'd love to read more about analytical tools and automation.

I'd also love more on distribution, and more on getting into your readers head and understanding how they think.

#writing-feedback - March 13, 2021 at 06:31 PM

Thank you Nicola! 🎉

#writing-feedback - March 11, 2021 at 08:07 AM

Good point. Thanks for the tip @Michael Thomas!

#writing-feedback - March 08, 2021 at 12:08 PM

What do you mean? Each word should be capitalised?

#writing-feedback - March 07, 2021 at 05:14 PM

Thank you Taher! I appreciate it 🙂

#writing-feedback - March 07, 2021 at 12:39 PM

Hey everyone, I've taken the leap and I'm currently making the move from freelancer to agency. I wouldn't have been able to do it without the huge amount of support and help I got from some people in this group (you know who you are!). So huge thanks to all of you.

I have rewritten the homepage of my website: https://www.mintcopywritingstudios.com/

Any feedback, thoughts and comments are welcome. I did design it myself so it's a bit plain - the plan is to hire a pro in a few months to design it.

#intros - February 26, 2021 at 07:20 AM

Thank you @Michael Thomas 😉
