Thank you for the kind words! 🙌🏽

[@khyatisethi96]

This was so helpful! thankyou. Can you make a video on on-boarding process (business kit) for a client and what steps to do when you first sign a client? I'm new to the SMM and freelance world, so it'll be amazing if you can make a video on it.

[@theunhealedmomma]

I would definitely love to hear the story about how you started! Great video ✨

[@thelatashajames]

Coming up! Thanks for watching :)

[@chvlk]

Great video. A lot of good info. Not sure if you’ve done this already but, can you release a list of books you think someone should read if they’d like to grow their own online business? Thanks.

[@codishaa]

Really love your videos. You've helped me to become a better freelancer. Thank you!!!

[@natashaadams3463]

I'm wondering if you have a video on the kind of clients a social media manager DOESNT want?

[@Janna-Ryan]

Thanks for posting this video it's super helpful! I'm a new freelancer and I'm looking for a good CRM platform. Would you recommend using Honeybook if you're Canadian? In Canada, we have free e-transfers and don't pay a fee when sending/ collecting e-payments. I noticed Honeybook takes 1.5% when transferring money (which I assume is standard in the states), is it worth it to use Honeybook if I would not be using it to collect payments (since I'll want to avoid a transfer fee). Question open to anyone reading this who has tried honeybook :)

[@MicMosesTv]

I’ve tried twice putting in my email to receive your free social media kit over the last two days have nothing has arrived in my email. Is this something your no longer doing?
