What would you recommend for someone who wants to have (feels like they have to have) two personas online - one personal, one professional? Does it make sense to have a portfolio with LinkedIn and maintain a completely separate Instagram sharing personal writing? I suppose business growth would be slower, but that's the choice I'm having to make right now.
@thewebedit3 жыл бұрын
@@hinterly It's different for everyone, but I personally have a private IG account for just friends and family, a public IG (that I rarely use) for my brand, a public LinkedIn, and a mostly public Facebook profile. But, again, you want to be where your target audience is. No need to be everywhere. If you just want to have one public/branded LinkedIn profile because that's where most of your leads are likely to come from, that's fine.

Hi - I do copywriting AND content writing. I do copywriting for web pages and landing pages, and I do content writing for "SEO'd" web pages and blog articles. My focus in primarily on marketing, SaaS, and tech-related content, but I do have a few outliers.

@thewebedit Жыл бұрын
Hey - I suggest writing your own articles on LinkedIn,. trying to land some guest post opportunities, and maybe posting on Medium.com. Since you are just getting started, you don't necessarily need a website yet. I like to suggest starting a website once you decide what your focus/niche is going to me. Until then, try to get a few work examples under your belt.

Can anyone please tell me if I can freelance using a fake name? Due to some personal reasons, I'd rather not use my real name and address. Is it mandatory to use real names and other information?
@thewebedit2 жыл бұрын
Hey Rain - I don't see why you couldn't use a fake name. You would probably need to register your LLC with your real name (as in, the contact information) but you can operate under your chosen business name (for example, my company, Keys&Copy) and use a fake name as the point of contact. I think you would just need to use your legal name for registration and taxes.
