[@jahanviraycha7859]

Thank you for this; much needed. I wanted to point out that one of your facebook link has a typo (space inbetween : and // ) thats why it not enable into a direct link.

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Thank you Raycha! Appreciate you letting us know :)

[@varshaaa569]

HI Deya your content is genuine and well explained. I have a doubt those FB groups you mentioned in description are only for freelancers to get clients or useful for promoting affiliate products too?

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Hi! I'm so happy you like the video! :) I would definitely not join any groups with the intention to promote affiliate products - I'm sure most of them don't allow that type of promotion.

[@akash.deblanq]

Thank you so much. Are you still doing this? I'm amazed that Facebook groups can work.

[@MyNameIsDeya]

You're welcome! I was doing this up until I stopped taking on clients as I was booked out.

[@AnotherSkyTV]

Any ideas on where to get higher paying clients? There's only poor small businesses on facebook... I do land clients there sporadically but I have to decline a lot of interested people because they want to pay me so low it's not profitable to even do the work (in my field at least). Help 😭 It's good place to get clients in a sense that you'll get some there fast but they pay so low... Sorry if I sound needy 😆, good video, thanks for tips. The idea of joining tool-related groups is really good.

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Hey hey! I think the types of clients you'll find in FB groups depends on the types of groups you're in - and the target you're after. There are people of all income brackets using FB - so I'd have a think about who your ideal person is, what their lives are like, what types of groups they're most likely to join. And - higher paying clients are also often times in paid communities, so it may be worthwhile to invest in joining a few paid communities, memberships or masterminds to network with them.

[@violetcowper7381]

Hi! If one is a copywriter wanting to specialize in the travel niche, would you recommend targeting travel bloggers, or only agencies/tour guides?

[@esalest.4078]

Great video and value infos, i see the facebook groups that recommend, but I'm confused since the titles only refer to female members. Can I participate as a man?

[@ChrisDMReloaded]

i got restricted for 6 days because i posted on many facebook groups and probably some admins blocked me , i wasn't even spamming anything . how many groups am i allowed to post then? could you tell me please ? i don't understand. Also,Facebook helped me find some costumers but what i tend to do is to post my ad picture on more than 50 groups a day , is that ok? . i post on many groups because i want to attract the attention of as many people as possible and find possible clients . i hope one day twitter adds a marketplace to post services for free. that would be the end of facebook.

[@user-pg6io9dh9x]

you are soo nice buddy

[@Rebecca-qg8pb]

What if I don't want to show my face and I just want to post my copywriting skills Can I still get jobs?

Hey just curious, are you somehow related to Anish Giri (chess GM). You both look alike

[@mattng4707]

[@ruffywambati7093]

anyone in need of an academic online writer?

[@jefffairchild1854]

If post that you won the lotto and so you're going to give any group member anything from amazon up to $50 free since the group helped you so much in the past, i that spam? Now...what if you think about how the person who is giving the $50 to the other people is gaining lots of joy from it. Is it now spam since they got a benefit from the giving? Is the person posting getting a benefit from it the reason it's spam? If you offer a free 30 day trial to a software and guarantee they love it or they don't pay cuz the software is so good, is that spam, or is it helping people get awesome software the helps them out a lot with no risk?

[@lehmluma1002]

Mermaid? 😂

[@esalest.4078]

Why you dont suggest facebook groups to accept males? i don't get it... while your videos are quite informative and valuable and you seem like a person who understands others, you are acting sexist here, please write in the description some groups that everyone can join without racist and sexist restrictions.

[@MyNameIsDeya]

The whole point of this strategy is to find groups that align with your interests and who you want to work with as a business so that you can engage authentically in those groups. The groups I share are groups that I personally love because I want to support female entrepreneurs & freelancers through my work. My suggestion is you make a big list of all the interests you personally have, industries and businesses you want to support, activities you find interesting, values that you have and put those keywords into the search and join those groups to engage authentically in. This strategy won't work if you just copy my values and interests because then you won't be engaging authentically and the communities/clients also probably wouldn't be that interesting to you to work with.

[@esalest.4078]

@@MyNameIsDeya As I said in the previous comment, you explain very well the strategy for finding Facebook groups and you give details, but part of the content you offer in this video is the specific groups that you got value from and learned from. And it's part of the content you offer because you mention it in the title and you've posted the links in the video description. The links there are part of the content of this video tutorial and are there for anyone to access and see these groups and how they work as an example. As soon as I click on some of these links, I am transferred to a page of facebook that says "This content isn't available at the moment When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people or changed who can see it, or it's been deleted." This one is a great disrespect for your channel viewers, and for your customers who buy your courses, because you expect to be anyone cystomer and buy, or see your videos and earn from ads, but the content you provide has gender limitations and some genders they don't have access to look and study some groups that reffer in your content. you are smart enough to understand what i want to say. Generally I don't write such comments and I don't comment on KZbin videos, but this time to get to write these I felt very offended and irritation seeing that all the 5 groups you suggest exclude users, not because they have a specialized professional topic, nor are they targeted at the residents of a specific country, but because of their gender. And I'm offended because in my workspace 70% of my coworkers and business owners I work with as a salesperson are women and I have selected these coworkers not because of their gender but because they are experts and the best at their jobs. it is not ethical to spend several minutes of my precious time watching an educational content to learn more about freelancer jobs and some of the content excludes me because of my gender.

[@YoutubeRAutomation]

Great Value. What is the best way to contact you?

[@piyushpal7153]

can you help me, please I want to ask something related to Upwork

[@AerielFerguson]

Hey Deya!😁 This was a really insighful viedo. Its true, most younger folks tend to use instagram while older ones gravitate to facebook. 😏 I was also wondering if you've ever used LinkedIn to gain clients and if so how effective is it? Thank you❤

[@MyNameIsDeya]

I haven't used LinkedIn too much to find clients, however, there are more and more opportunities on there to find freelancing clients but you do need to be careful of the spamming on LinkedIn. There can be a lot of people who reach out who are either trying to sell you stuff or aren't legitimate.

[@AerielFerguson]

@@MyNameIsDeya Okay noted. Thanks for replying.
