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.
@@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.
Thank you so so much for this! I just graduated college with a degree in chemistry but because of the pandemic I opted to return to my first love of writing as my first career move. I'll make sure to watch all your videos and learn SEO from your writing!
Wow! Phenomenal information! I just kept waiting for the catch. "And for four payments of just $499, I will tell you the rest." Thanks for the real information and the help. Two thumbs up here!!!!!
Jessica, thank you so much for this information. I have been a freelance outdoor writer for over 30 years, very well known in that industry and I learned so much from you already. The way that you have everything structured is fantastic! I have much to learn about SEO and branding. Keep up the great work. You just earned another subscriber!
Hi just got my first freelancing job with a local newspaper and your video was so helpful for how to build from here !! Subscribed and look forward to learning more ❤
Hey! Congratulations on landing your first freelance writing job! I'm glad my channel has helped you as well! I am looking forward to creating more videos (bit of a delay as I get help with video editing LOL)
Thank you, Miss- watching your vid for a minute helped open up my overall priority on my media production business, which includes my writing! Remember, EVERYTHING translates!
thank u so much. as a non english speaker im so relieved i can understand what youre talking about even without subtitles. this is a great help. thanks again. have a nice day!
Hi, Jassica! I have been reading your blog for so long. Just started to see your videos. I am loving them. I made a portfolio and got a few clients. Thank you a lot. Your instructions are on point and super hot ! 😃
I honestly don't have funds to host a website. Already starving as is. As for the google drive way, what should I include in the items? I mean, how much of the writing process? Outline, keywords, or what? Just the finished article? Or commentary? And like everyone else said, thank you for doing this for free. All the best to you
These tips are great! thank you so much! I am about to graduate from university and I'm dreaming about becoming a writing freelancer and digital nomad. And hey, leave your social media and medium links in the description so people can find you, I would love to follow you! :D
Thank you so much for your content. It's helping a lot! Question: Would you recommend having your portfolio set up for guest posting pitching? Or are these agencies not so demanding in terms of hiring a well branded writer? If you could answer, I'd be more than delighted.
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.
hey Jesssica, im an Indian homoeopathic graduate and on my way to enroll for my masters. though i write poems, but i really wanna be a content writer. to just start, would submitting guest posts be a better option or creating a website?? i dont even have a portfolio, so id be needing sample links. could you please guide.
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.
If you wanna really wanna be a content writer, why spend money and time doin masters in a thing you dont wish to make a career in. I'm an Indian too hence curious.
@@shivinunitholi2493 I think in India a lot people feel freelancing is a side hustle. They don't look at it like a proper job. Also, there is the Indian mentality of always keeping a plan B using education.
do you have a video on how to write an article on Linkedin/Facebook ? if not could you please do one? I really trust your advice you come across as genuine. I've seen other videos on in my search from other youtubers but I would love to hear your tutorial/ advice on creating those articles :)
Hi Jessica, thank you so much for sharing the tips on how to create and host portfolios. They are very helpful. I have a question though. Must I have the Bluehost and WordPress? I have a domain name but a friend with a bigger site is hosting me and sooner or later I will have to host my website. kindly advice
Hey! You certainly don’t need to choose Bluehost and Wordpress, I just found them to be some of the easiest to use. I recommend researching the best hosts and CMS.
I have a question! If I am posting my samples in a blog, does that blog need to be a self-hosted with a domain name? Or a simple free blogger website will do?
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?
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.
Have you started your own freelance writing portfolio?
Nooo! And am so scared to! Thanks for the encouragement and tips!

Hello! Thank you for your comment :) I am glad you enjoyed the video!
So Informative ❤️
Thank you 💯
very useful information
Thank you so much for your content. It's helping a lot!
Question: Would you recommend having your portfolio set up for guest posting pitching? Or are these agencies not so demanding in terms of hiring a well branded writer?
If you could answer, I'd be more than delighted.
Hey Jessica, Im what I saw on your FB page, you're a copywriter and not a content writer. So what niche are you in for writing copy.
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.
Great Stuff! Found it really helpful 💯
Thank you so much! ♥️

Good question! I wrote a post about that here: keysandcopy.com/how-long-should-seo-blog-post-be
informative video. jessica u are explaining very well. kindly make a video on fraud websites .
Interesting topic. What questions do you have?
I have a question! If I am posting my samples in a blog, does that blog need to be a self-hosted with a domain name? Or a simple free blogger website will do?
NM 😛 asked too soon 😅
Hey have you ever got an answer
@@supadupashy1459 same , still looking for that answer
Starts at 03:15. You are welcome.
I have time stamps in the description :)

This helped me so much!!
Glad to hear it!

Link them through Google docs as publications
Great video. but you missed a really important point. How to get a Gig !
Hey! I have another video on my channel in regards to how to get writing clients. Hope that helps!

No no I need your help
Hey Gene - What do you need help with?
Medium is not free
The limited version of Medium is free, and that's all you need in order to publish articles.
I know i am two years late but what do you think about Wix for creating your blogs/websites? I have it so i need your opinion
Excellent video. Thank you so much:)
