LwBean @ibeanwrite.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Another freelancer and I were talking today. Do #freelancers not know how to market? Not a new thing, but the number of people we see who are struggling decades into a career who have like two clients. When those clients disappear .... #FreelanceFriends 220
LwBean @ibeanwrite.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I'm Lori, freelancer for 20+ years with a blog full of marketing stuff and b*tching about freelancing. #FreelanceFriends 040

LwBean @ibeanwrite.bsky.social · 06/08/2026#FreelanceFriends Very late to it today -- a lot going on that's not work-related! I'm a semi-retired freelance writer and editor, suburban Philly, where it's sweltering and finally rainy! Sun is out right now, but the clouds are building. 280
Reposted by LwBeanAngela Tague @angelatague.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Q2: Has your business label changed in the past year or so? Why? Did you make a pivot in your business, change your offerings or do you simply feel more aligned with new wording or labeling? #FreelanceFriends 432
LwBean @ibeanwrite.bsky.social · 19/02/2026A good use of AI, and one I used one time, is when you have a rambling interview and you can't quite connect what the person is trying to say. Many of my sources get to review before publication, so I'm able to phrase it better, run it by them, and not lose my mind guessing. #FreelanceFriends 230
LwBean @ibeanwrite.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Monk in my meditation group is obsessed with using AI to create images for his presentations to our weekly group (about 12-15 people). I've already warned him about using AI images for any work where he earns money. Copyright infringement is nothing to play with. #FreelanceFriends 170
LwBean @ibeanwrite.bsky.social · 19/02/2026A2: Personally, I would not. AI-generated content could contain plenty of plagiarized phrases, copyrighted slogans, you name it. No way I'd stick my hand in that flame. 110
LwBean @ibeanwrite.bsky.social · 19/02/2026A1: I have a writer friend who was asked to train AI, and another of her clients "told" her she'd be editing their AI-generated content. She declined both. #FreelanceFriends 120

LwBean @ibeanwrite.bsky.social · 12/02/2026When I was actively promoting my business, I would attend an annual trade show.

LwBean @ibeanwrite.bsky.social · 15/05/2025Q2: Marketing consistently. (Paula knew I'd say that.) Market. Every. Day. Even if it's touching base with a single client or meeting a new one on social media, marketing will keep your business alive. #freelancefriends 161
