social media — Season 20 — BEING FREELANCE - Podcast and Community for freelancers

Copywriter Eddie Shleyner

In 2014 Eddie started the Very Good Copy blog to educate himself. But he wasn’t the only one loving it. As it grew in popularity, people started reaching out, offering him work.

He turned them down. Until in 2020, an opportunity came along that was too good to refuse. Freelance it was then.

Hear Eddie on: building his newsletter audience, creating courses, the danger to work/life balance when you get a ‘high’ from creating, and the importance of not just growing for growth’s sake.

PR Lucy Werner

From starting as a PR freelancer to accidentally heading a small agency, working with her husband and then transitioning back into solo freelancing, Lucy shares the challenges she's faced along the way.

As the creator of ‘Hype Yourself’, we hear how showing up daily even in her darkest days has built Lucy’s reputation. But maybe she wouldn’t quite do it all the same again. This episode is practical, fun, candid. And very much worth the hype.
