The Freelance Writer’s Social Media Strategy

For a lot of freelance writers, social media sits somewhere between “I know I should probably do this” and “I can’t think of anything worse than this.”

The right social strategy doesn’t have to involve becoming an influencer, posting constantly, or trying to be everywhere at once. Instead, it’s about making it easier for the right editors, clients and fellow writers to find you, understand what you do, and remember you when an opportunity comes up.

Paid members can now watch Kathryn’s live session in full, whenever they want.

What You’ll Learn

This session will help you learn to use social media as a practical part of your writing business, without letting it take over your entire week:

  • Why avoiding social media can be a missed opportunity for your freelance business (and how even a simple presence can create visibility over time)

  • How to build a recognisable professional brand online, while networking in a way that’s useful, not just performative

  • Turning conversations into opportunities: real-world strategies for using comments, connections and interactions to land assignments

  • Choosing the platforms that make sense for your target market, rather than spreading yourself thin across every new app

  • Tips for batching, scheduling and planning social content so it supports your writing work instead of distracting you from it

The full recording is available below for paid FWN members.
