I started these accounts to document what happens when you try to build a business from scratch. I didn’t expect them to start bringing me clients quite this quickly 🙌🏻 My biggest retainer since going freelance actually found me through these accounts. Turns out talking about what you do really can lead to work. #FreelanceJourney #FreelanceSocialMediaManager #SocialMediaManager #WorkingForMyself #FreelanceLife

Nobody warned me that THIS would be the hardest part of leaving a £70k salary… It’s not finding the work. It’s going from knowing exactly what’s hitting your bank account every month to having absolutely no idea when everything is actually going to be paid. Turns out making money and feeling financially secure are two very different things. #SelfEmployed #FreelanceLife #WorkingForMyself #Freelancer #CareerChange

What actually happens when you hire a social media manager? 👀 Spoiler: I don’t just open Instagram and start making Reels 😂 Strategy first. Content second. #SocialMediaManager #FreelanceSocialMediaManager #SocialMediaStrategy #FreelanceLife

Why do I need to make £5,750 every month? Turns out replacing a £70k corporate salary when you work for yourself isn’t quite as simple as £70k ÷ 12… Month one numbers coming soon. #FreelanceLife #SelfEmployed #SocialMediaManager #UGCCreator #BuildingABusiness

I gave myself one year to see if I could make working for myself work… month one is nearly done 👀 Clients, UGC, content creation and eventually the numbers — I’m sharing the whole journey. 11 months to go 🤞 #FreelanceLife #SocialMediaManager #SelfEmployed #UGCCreator #BuildingABusiness

Brands, please stop turning your UGC briefs into 5-page scripts… Give your creator the objective, the audience and the non-negotiables, then give them room to actually create. I’ve worked on both sides of the brief, and I promise: more instructions don’t always equal better content. #UGCTips #UGCCreator #SocialMediaManager #ContentMarketing

How do you know when it’s actually time to outsource your social media? If you recognised your business in more than one of these, it might be time… #SocialMediaManager #SmallBusinessTips #SocialMediaTips #BusinessTikTok #FreelanceJourney

If managing your business social media is permanently sitting at the bottom of your to-do list… I can take it off your plate 🙋🏻‍♀️ From strategy and content planning to creation, scheduling, community management and reporting, my freelance social media packages can be tailored to how much support you actually need. Packages start from £750/month. If you need help actually getting your business showing up consistently (and strategically!) on social media, send me a DM #SocialMediaManagerUK #Freel

If you hired me to manage your Instagram tomorrow, I probably wouldn’t post anything… Before we create content, I want to know what we’re actually trying to achieve, who we’re talking to, what we’re selling, what’s worked before and what the data is telling us. Because my job isn’t just to fill your content calendar. It’s to create content that actually helps your business. #SocialMediaManager #SocialMediaStrategy #SmallBusinessTips #InstagramForBusiness #SocialMediaTips

UGC and influencer content are NOT the same thing… Influencer = you’re paying for the content + access to their audience. UGC = you’re paying for the content itself. I work on both sides, and knowing which one your brand actually needs could save you a LOT of money. #UGCCreatorUK #UGCCreator #InfluencerMarketing #UGCMarketing #SocialMediaMarketing

Can I actually replace my corporate salary by working for myself? The target is £5,750 a month and I’ve given myself one year to figure it out. I’ll be sharing exactly what I earn along the way. And if you’re feeling generous please give my TikTok shop account a follow @midsize_outfits Starting point: £0 / £5,750 #FreelanceLife #CareerChange #UGCCreator #ContentCreator #TikTokShop

Third redundancy in six years… so I’m finally doing the thing I’ve been too scared to do. I’m giving myself one year to see if I can turn 14 years of content creation + my career in social media into a business of my own. Freelance social media. UGC. Content creation. And figuring it all out as I go. Maybe it works. Maybe it doesn’t. But I’d rather find out than always wonder what if.
