      <image:title>Blog - How to Create a Social Media Content Bank in Google Drive - Visual content is another big part of social media.</image:title>
      <image:caption>However, many people rely heavily on stock photos because they struggle to find their own images (that they took last month while out and about, speaking from experience here) So I suggest you start by going through your phone and moving useful photos into your Google Drive folders so they are not just stored in your phone photo albums.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 8 clear signs you’re ready to outsource as a freelancer</image:title>
      <image:caption>There’s no set time to start outsourcing tasks. It all depends on your business and preferences. You might feel that hiring an accountant as soon as you launch your business is the best way to stay on top of financial management, for example. On the other hand, you might start out writing your own blog for a year or so and then choose to outsource to a copywriter.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 5 Accountability Strategies for Freelancers and Small Business Owners - This one can help so much.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pick someone who gets freelance life and won’t judge you for eating biscuits at your desk. How to keep it simple: • Have a weekly check-in (it doesn’t need to be long) • Share three things you want to get done • Report back on what you actually managed It’s not about being told off. It’s about knowing someone’s expecting an update. You’d be surprised how motivating that tiny bit of pressure can be. Choose someone who understands your world but isn’t doing the exact same work. No awkwardness, just support.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I know it feels boring, but time tracking tells you the truth. Not the version in your head. The real one. I use Toggl, and it’s been a shock at times. That “quick job” was not as quick as I thought. Why it helps: • You see where your time actually goes • You notice habits that slow you down • You learn how long things really take Once you’ve seen the numbers, you can’t pretend you’re “too busy” when you’ve been sorting your inbox labels for 40 minutes. Not that I have ever done that….honest!</image:caption>

However, it can be helpful to think of your business journey as a linear rollercoaster, rather than a circular loop — yes, there are ups and downs, but momentum is always pushing you forwards.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Digital Declutter: Organising Your Inbox, Files, and Systems for Maximum Efficiency</image:title>
      <image:caption>When you have a million things to focus on every day, it’s easy for email inboxes to become cluttered and documents to be saved wherever the file lands. However, while searching for an unnamed or buried document may only take a few minutes, multiply that by all the files you need to access in a day, and the time soon adds up. With tidy documents and folders, you can find what you need in a few clicks. The same goes for emails. With the right inbox structure, you can respond to clients and customers quickly for smoother communications.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Save time sifting through your emails by using folders and labels. These allow you to filter your emails quickly and easily. You can use them to organise emails from different clients or categories. Alternatively, it can be helpful to add prioritisation labels (high, medium, or low) to emails as they come in, so you can make your dedicated email management time count.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you constantly think about everything you could be doing once you have completed that all-consuming admin list, it might be time to free up your mental load and precious time with a helping hand. It’s important to remember that delegating is not ‘cheating’ or ‘being lazy’ — and it certainly does not mean giving up control. At the end of the day, you are the boss and always will be, and the best managers know how and when it’s time to delegate.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Somehow, between her brilliant company, the laughs and the none stop chatter and music, my anxiety just melted away over that four-and-a-half-hour drive. Having someone to ground me and distract me was really helpful and I am so grateful that she was willing to put up with a passenger in her car for that length of time!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Once we arrived and dumped our bags, we headed straight out and—like magnets—found fellow business strays (and pals) at the harbour. Steve Folland, Becky Greaves, Michaela Parker, Anja Poehlmann, and Stefanie Mellano (all online business chums from Being Freelance membership) joined us for fish, chips, pints, and belly laughs in the sun.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Creator Day kicked off with hugs (hello Gus Bhandal and Angela Lyons), chats with people I’ve only ever seen as LinkedIn profile pics (Mel Barfield, Ben McKinney), and enough coffee to power a small village. Into the auditorium we went, and honestly, the buzz was unreal. Then Mark bounded on stage like an enthusiastic puppy in a blazer, and the day properly began.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I’ll keep this bit brief-ish, but here’s what stood out: Phill Agnew: WALKED to Poole (not a typo), then gave a brilliant talk on effort = value. Real, raw, and clever. Loved it. Steve Folland: Talked about longevity in business using a running analogy. Even I followed it, which is saying something. Tamara Howard: Reminded us to stop bouncing between tech tools like hyper squirrels. Be intentional. Mel Barfield: Pancakes, luck, and grabbing opportunities. Jess Bruno: “F*** the Algorithm” a gorgeous mix of honesty, resilience, and permission to show up as you are.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Most email management systems include the option to organise your inbox with various labels, folders, subfolders, and filters. These can be helpful when you need to find an email at a later date. By organising as you go — or seeking support from a virtual assistant who can go through your entire inbox — you can free up time for future you and find what you need efficiently.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Art of Customer Service: How to Keep Clients Coming Back for More</image:title>
      <image:caption>While building a base of new customers and clients is incredibly valuable, return custom is just as vital. Your current customers have already bought your product or used your services. This means you don’t need to worry about introducing your brand to them through marketing or other means. They already know what you can do! Client (or customer) retention is the process of keeping your existing customers, whether they’re buying another product or renewing a contract. When competition is high, client retention isn’t always a given, so it’s important to always have excellent customer service in mind.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If any of these challenges sound familiar, you’re not alone. There may also be a straightforward solution with help from a virtual assistant!  By taking customer service tasks off your plate, a virtual assistant (VA) can make sure that any client interactions are handled with care. Your customers will enjoy timely, friendly communications while you have more time to work on other aspects of your business.  Erin at Bizzybee has years of experience in helping businesses keep their customers happy. Here are just a few handy customer service tasks the Bizzybee team can take on for you:</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Attending In-Person Events When You Have Anxiety</image:title>
      <image:caption>I always thought that anxiety was something I had grown into, that as I got older, had the kids, bought a house and did ‘life’ stuff, it had begun to manifest.  But lately, after being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, I’ve realised I was always anxious, I just hid it well. To the outside world (and let’s be honest, to myself), I looked like a super-organised planner—maybe a bit uptight. Starting a virtual business during Covid actually helped me. It let me ease into networking, meetups, and conferences without being thrown into a room full of strangers. I could speak up from the comfort of my own home, which helped build my confidence (though I still despise breakout rooms!).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Attending In-Person Events When You Have Anxiety</image:title>
      <image:caption>Then there’s the travel anxiety. Trains. Connections. Delays. Will I get there on time? How far is everything from each other? Will I be able to find the venue, the hotel, the nearest café where I can take five minutes to breathe if it all gets too much? And as the event gets closer, my sleep—already not great—goes completely out the window. The week before, I start snapping at people over things that aren’t actually the real problem. The washing machine making a weird noise? Sudden meltdown. My husband moving my cup from where I left it? Immediate irrational fury. But really, he knows. He nods, lets me rant, and quietly accepts that my brain is actually just spiralling and overstimulated over the upcoming event. I get this overwhelming, all-consuming feeling that something drastic is going to happen and sometimes experience a panic attack.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to stay focused when you’re pulled in a million directions</image:title>
      <image:caption>But how can you make sure you stay focused on that one task? Getting rid of distractions is a big help.  You might choose to close off any unused tabs, place your phone out of reach to eliminate the temptation of scrolling on your socials, and make sure you have water or a cup of tea nearby so you don’t feel the need to ‘just pop the kettle on’.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to stay focused when you’re pulled in a million directions</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a freelancer or small business owner, last-minute requests from clients and customers are somewhat inevitable. However, throwing another task into the mix can disrupt your flow if you’re struggling to stay focused (or you’ve just managed to establish a plan that finally gets you focused).  Remember that it’s okay to say no if you’re unable to drop your important task to take on another.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Freelancer’s Guide to Building a Social Media Presence That Works</image:title>
      <image:caption>With so many different social media platforms around, it can seem a bit overwhelming, and you might be tempted to use them all. However, every platform has its own features, quirks, and demographics.  To find the platform, you need to consider your audience. Do you provide B2B services or do you want to reach customers directly? If you want other businesses to find you, LinkedIn and Facebook may be your best bets. For freelancers providing products or services for customers, you might find more social media content creation success with Instagram.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Although a big part of building a social media presence is making sure potential clients and customers are aware of your business, these platforms also offer a chance to create a sense of community.  Interact with other businesses and profiles, reply to comments, and actively engage with your followers — it’s all part of showcasing excellent customer service.</image:caption>

If you’re juggling multiple clients, these tools are a lifesaver. Plus, they make you look super responsive and professional—a win-win!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to create a weekly plan that actually works</image:title>
      <image:caption>The idea of a weekly planner is wonderful. However, the reality of implementing one can prove easier said than done. After all, one size does not fit all — your business model may differ hugely from that of other freelancers, as might your home life. So, how can you plan a weekly schedule that you’ll stick to?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to create a weekly plan that actually works</image:title>
      <image:caption>That leads us nicely onto prioritisation. It can be tempting to focus on the ‘nice’ tasks — but they’re not always the most important on the list.  By writing out your task priority, whether it’s adding a label of ‘High’, ‘Medium’, or ‘Low’ or placing them into a specific order, you can make sure that the most urgent tasks will be completed first.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to create a weekly plan that actually works</image:title>
      <image:caption>If your weekly plan doesn’t include breaks, adding some in can be hugely beneficial. Taking a proper lunch break, giving yourself a set finishing time, and having moments to stretch your legs or experience a change of scenery can work wonders for your productivity and mental wellbeing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Taking Time Off This Christmas: A Friendly Reminder</image:title>
      <image:caption>Here’s how I made sure I could step away from my business without stress—and how you can too: 1.     Plan and Communicate: I told my clients well in advance about my holiday availability. A simple email or conversation can help set expectations and reassure them that their needs are covered. 2.     Leverage Automation: Posts like this one? Scheduled! Emails? Auto-responders are on. Tools like these allow me to keep my virtual assistant services running smoothly, even offline. 3.     Trust Your Systems: Whether it’s project management tools or a reliable workflow, having systems in place ensures your business can hum along while you enjoy your break. but don't worry. If you’re reading this on December 26th, there’s still time to reap the benefits of taking time off.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The role of virtual assistants in streamlining freelance operations</image:title>
      <image:caption>Every business, big or small, will constantly have a range of tasks on the go. Streamlining is a way of looking at which tasks or steps are necessary and which take up time that could be put to better use elsewhere.  By eliminating the unnecessary elements, you can create a more efficient business model that lets you focus on the most important areas.</image:caption>

An experienced virtual assistant can tailor their services to create a package that works for you. Perhaps you feel confident with your daily emails but need a hand with updating your eCommerce stock. Or perhaps your Drive folders could do with a spruce up and some ongoing organisation.  Whichever area of your business could benefit from streamlining, learn about Bizzybee’s virtual assistant services and contact Erin to chat about your requirements.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to create compelling proposals and pitch to potential clients</image:title>
      <image:caption>Before you start creating your proposal, take some time to find out what the client in question needs. What are their goals and pain points? Do they have a budget in mind? This will help you tailor your pitch to show how you and your business can make a difference. It can be helpful to have a questionnaire for the potential customer to fill out, covering these points so you have something to work from prior to your consultation or discovery call.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to create compelling proposals and pitch to potential clients</image:title>
      <image:caption>Budget is, undoubtedly, a big factor for many customers and clients. Throughout your pitch, be open about your pricing, but also show how your service or product will bring value — whether that’s peace of mind, time savings, or a boost in annual turnover. After all, competitive pricing is about the relative value your service offers as much as the price tag itself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Strategies for setting competitive pricing as a freelancer</image:title>
      <image:caption>Competitor research is a great place to start when setting your freelance rates. Explore what other businesses and solopreneurs in your field are offering. If they seem way off what you originally had in mind, consider aligning your prices with the going rate. A significant difference between employment and freelance life is tax — so make sure you account for how much you’ll need to set aside for your tax return. Apps like Mettle can help you divert a portion of your income to a tax ‘pot’, ready to withdraw when the tax return looms.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>You might also want to consider packages, offering a discount for multiple services or a bulk purchase. This can be a great way to attract customers who want a comprehensive solution or are looking for wholesale items. Plus, it gives you the buffer of a larger income for the month.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Strategies for setting competitive pricing as a freelancer - Streamline your freelance workload with a VA</image:title>
      <image:caption>Setting the right rates can be a big factor in any freelancer’s success. Once you nail your pricing, you can feel confident knowing that clients will get value for money and you’ll get fair pay. However, deciding your rates, creating price lists, and liaising with prospective clients all add to the ever-growing to-do list we freelancers know all too well. If you’re looking for support in making that to-do list more manageable, why not consider hiring a virtual assistant to help with admin, organisation or digital marketing? An experienced VA like Erin can tie up any loose ends and take on the tasks you can’t manage so you have more capacity to focus on growing your business — and setting those all-important freelance rates.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Networking for the freelancer: Making connections that count - Dedicated networking events (like the SMMeet up event) offer the chance to showcase your passion, meet like-minded professionals, and exchange ideas. In-person events are the ideal way to break through your comfort zone and build a genuine connection. However, online events can be just as fruitful, like the InclUSion community— and convenient if there aren’t any in-person gatherings in your local area.  It can be helpful to look for events catering specifically to your sector as well as broader meetings. This will help you meet a good mix of contacts and add them to your network.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Using a password manager allows you to store and remember the various passwords for your account. Using Google as an example, the Google password manager will suggest a strong password when signing up to a website. If you use this recommended password, it gets saved to Google's servers and is accessible from the password manager tab. This technique is far better than using the same password for everything as it lowers the risk of giving over access to all your accounts when one may be hacked. However, this is still not the safest way to protect your login information, as passwords stolen from a hack are still very common.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Online Security for Remote Freelancers: Is It Getting Tougher?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Another technique for increasing security with the standard email and password sign-in is using two-factor authentication. This system works by double-checking with a deemed safe device you are attempting to sign into the relevant account.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Online Security for Remote Freelancers: Is It Getting Tougher?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Another system that is being used for passkey integration is QR codes. In this system, you scan a QR code on an untrusted device, e.g. your laptop or desktop PC. Once the code is presented, scan it on your trusted device and activate the passkey. This allows you to sign in using the passkey on another device. This works well as it will enable you to use other everyday devices whilst remaining safe online.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Online Security for Remote Freelancers: Is It Getting Tougher?</image:title>
      <image:caption>While passkeys are great for personal security, they significantly impact companies wishing to switch over. Integrating Passkeys instead of passwords for a company has many benefits, including increased internal security and a lower chance of data breaches. However, implementing a passkey system takes a lot of time and effort.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - AI myths debunked: What freelancers really need to know - Now, this is a very broad, dramatic statement! Many different industries use forms of AI, from self-driving cars to tools that help healthcare professionals find patterns in data. We’re going to narrow the scope a little and focus on the worry that artificial intelligence is on a path to making content creators, designers, artists, and other creative freelancers obsolete.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - AI myths debunked: What freelancers really need to know - In a similar way, the results aren’t perfect right away, either. They need a human touch to tweak and sculpt the content into something your customers or clients will want. Often, AI-generated content feels as though it’s missing something. Have you ever read a blog post that’s answered some common questions but just seems a little lacklustre? Maybe you’ve seen an AI image that meets the brief but just has no spark.</image:title>

You might, for instance, use an automation service for your invoices or post your social media content with a scheduling tool. Maybe you use AI to help with content creation. There are endless opportunities to weave technology into your everyday operations.   But what are the benefits?

Building your social media following is a great way to drum up new business, whether you're a crafter, copywriter, or creative entrepreneur. It’s also time-consuming. But with social media scheduling tools, such as Buffer and Metricool*, you can plan your posts in advance and set them to post at a specified time. Perhaps your Instagram gets the most engagement in the late evening. Rather than working late to post, schedule your text, images, and hashtags ahead of time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Leaving your business to go on holiday, and why it is important - Once you've found the ideal time, good communication goes a long way in setting the stage for a smooth time off. Let your clients know about your upcoming holiday plans well in advance. This not only shows your professionalism but also helps clients adjust their expectations accordingly. While discussing your time off, make sure to be transparent about your availability and set realistic deadlines for any work that may be affected by your absence. To make your time away as stress-free as possible, focus on completing or making significant progress on high-priority tasks before your holiday and leave the less urgent tasks for when you return.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Shaping a new life journey with virtual assistance: from chronic pain to Bizzybee - Initially, perhaps. But within the space of four short months, I found myself spiralling into a world of chronic pain, mobility issues ( I was forced to use a Wheelchair), a haze of heavy-duty painkillers, and eventually back surgery to alleviate nerve pressure caused by a ruptured disc. But every cloud has a silver lining. The surgery made the debilitating pain vanish instantaneously.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Shaping a new life journey with virtual assistance: from chronic pain to Bizzybee - Enter my weekend venture: a home-based dog boarding service, where I showered my furry guests with all the love and care I wished for my own dogs. This endeavour brought me joy and aligned seamlessly with my newfound health regimen. I was on a mission, I dedicated myself entirely to this venture, handling everything from logo design and registration packs to obtaining a local council license and promoting my service solely on Instagram and Facebook.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Shaping a new life journey with virtual assistance: from chronic pain to Bizzybee - A few weeks post-surgery, I was hit with another blow. I developed 'drop foot' due to permanent nerve damage from the three surgeries and would now have to wear a leg brace. The label of 'disabled' was a harsh reality to accept, learning to drive a hand-operated car, not being able to do simple cleaning tasks and living with permanent pain were all things that weighed heavily on my mental health.</image:title>

      <image:caption>I mentioned this a little earlier but if you’re stuck in rut with the same old thoughts going around your head, you might need to alter your state of mind. One of the best ways to do this is through exercise. Get your blood pumping at the gym, on a run, or at a dance class if you are able. Now, as a disabled person, I don't want to only include the able bodied activities so if you unable to participate in them why not try just getting outside and breathe or go for a stroll, a bit of chair aerobics or even just a little bit of basic stretching. Any exercise is good exercise.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The importance of excellent customer service</image:title>
      <image:caption>Did you know that 82% of organisations agree that customer retention costs less than customer acquisition? It's true! Acquiring a new customer involves higher marketing costs, time, and effort to convince them to choose your product or service in the first place. While retaining an existing customer is much more cost-effective because they've already experienced your service or product, trust your brand, and are more likely to purchase from you again.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Misconceptions and The Truth About Hiring a VA For Small Businesses - A virtual assistant can help you with your admin, correspondence and more, but they can also help you to organise it too. For example, your inbox may be a little messy and unorganised which can make dealing with emails a lot more time-consuming than it needs to be. A VA can help to organise your inbox, ensure any important information is stored correctly and help flag certain emails as a higher priority than others. This organisation can be extended across your whole business too, working with social media inboxes, folders, online drives and even your desktop. You may also find that the knowledge and experience your VA has gained working with other businesses could also help you and your business to grow too.</image:title>

You may find that you’re busier towards the end of the month for example and you may not need as much help at the beginning of the month, your VAs hours can work around this. In this instance, hiring a VA would be much more beneficial than hiring someone to join your team as then you’d have more pressure to provide hours and work. And finally,</image:title>

      <image:caption>Whether you’re a one-person company or you have a close-knit team, outsourcing might be more accessible than you might think. After all, the term ‘outsourcing’ may conjure images of large corporations sending work overseas to take advantage of cheaper labour costs. But outsourcing isn’t just for the big guys! It can be much closer to home — and perfect for small creative businesses, too.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>What’s more, outsourcing is a great way to benefit from other people’s talent! While it can be tempting to try and do everything yourself, the DIY approach may lead to lower standards. After all, none of us can be experts in all areas of business, and there’s no shame in seeking a bit of help. By hiring professionals who specialise in a certain area — blogging or web design, for example — you can boost your company’s overall quality.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How spending money can make you money: outsourcing - The key to outsourcing effectively is to know when to delegate and when to keep things in-house. If your to-do list is growing out of control or you don’t feel confident in your ability to carry out a certain task, you might want to consider hiring an external expert to help. Doing so is sure to be a worthwhile investment that will keep creative burnout at bay and allow you to scale your business.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Why Blogs Are Essential On A Creative's Website - A blog is a vital tool for any creative business. However, we recognise that keeping up with generating blog content can be tough, particularly when you’re working so hard on other elements of your business. If you need a hand with researching, scheduling and uploading blog posts or creating social media posts, you might want to consider hiring a virtual assistant (VA). Erin at Bizzybee can offer admin and management support to take the pressure off.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Stepping outside of your comfort zone – and why it’s crucial for your small business - Keeping things the same may seem like a safe option. However, it can actually be rather detrimental in the long run. While everybody’s “comfort zone” is different, for many, it revolves around putting yourself in the public eye more, promoting your own strengths, and spending money that might not yield the results you hope. This is all completely understandable. But if you’re not challenging yourself to step into that spotlight, you could be missing out on valuable opportunities to connect with new customers, learn about new trends in your industry, and increase your revenue. Of course, being braver and taking more risks is easier said than done! but here are some tips to help nudge you a little.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Do you struggle to seek help with your business? Perhaps you worry you’ll burden others or feel that every aspect of the company is solely your responsibility. From applying for grants and requesting testimonials from customers to outsourcing your admin to a virtual assistant, it’s okay to ask for support. Whether you’re a freelancer or have a small team, you don’t have to do everything yourself. You might be surprised by how many people want to see you succeed!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - *Guest Post - How Outsourcing Helped with My Creative Business Burnout - The key is to think of outsourcing as an investment in your business rather than an expense. As such, it’s important to think of the whys and the whens of when to do it. It won’t always be right for you or your business to pay for a photographer, for example.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Is outsourcing just for big business? (Psst…it’s not!)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Before we dive in, let’s talk about the definition of outsourcing. You can check out the official definition here. Outsourcing has been around for some time and is the perfect way for both big business and small to use specific skills when needed without having to hire full time employees. This way of working saves a considerable amount of money because you don’t have to provide sick pay, holiday leave, employee benefits or taxes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Is outsourcing just for big business? (Psst…it’s not!)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Social media is a full time job in itself and requires consistency for a successful campaign. When you’re juggling so much, it’s unlikely you will be dedicating the time that you need to, which is why outsourcing to someone who can keep up with it for you works like an absolute dream resulting in increased brand awareness, lead generation and a fantastic reputation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Is outsourcing just for big business? (Psst…it’s not!)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Admin is probably one of the most time-consuming tasks when it comes to business because there’s just so much. Outsourcing is the best way to stay on top of it, making sure everything is done, up to date and delivered on time. Honestly, you can’t go wrong. These are, of course, just a few ideas, and I am sure you would be able to think of more once you set your mind to it. The good thing is, most Virtual Assistants will be happy to help. Why not give it a go? What have you got to lose?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Something that many non-copywriters find confusing is grammar. I’ve had a lot of people come to me and say they needed my help because their grammar was horrendous. The truth is: copywriting isn’t proofreading. Though, it is one of the things we do during the process. And it’s also worth noting that copywriters break grammar rules all. The. Time. Here’s the catch: If you’re going to break grammar rules, you’ve got to do it with a purpose. Otherwise, it’s just a mistake.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Keywords That Can Help Your Creative Freelance Business Be Seen - How do you work out which keywords your customers are searching for? First, conduct some keyword research. There are several handy tools that can assist with this, such as Ahrefs and Google Keyword Planner. These tools identify how many times people are searching for certain words each month: the search volume. Every business is different. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to keywords. That said, here are some ways to identify the best keywords for your creative business.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Keywords That Can Help Your Creative Freelance Business Be Seen - One way to combat this competition is to be more specific in your keywords. Consider focussing on more detailed, long-tail keywords. So, rather than always using general, one-word terms such as ‘pottery’, try some more detailed versions. For instance, ‘pink pottery vase’ or ‘handmade pottery mug collection’.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - How to organise your creative freelance business to be more productive - One of the perks of being a creative business owner is that you can work at a time that suits your lifestyle. This flexibility is all well and good but inconsistency can lead to peaks and troughs in your productivity. You may also find that you never fully ‘switch off’ and end up doing bits of work throughout the day and evening. By setting start and finish times, you can ensure you focus fully within those hours and relax outside of them.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - How to organise your creative freelance business to be more productive - Chances are, you have deadlines of some form already — whether that’s submitting a design proposal to a client or posting orders to a customer. But creating additional deadlines can also improve your organisation and time management. Why not try setting yourself a due date for your social media drafts so you can schedule them ahead of time? This will mean you have a batch ready to go and won’t need to worry about creating fresh content all the time. Deadlines can help you feel prepared and allow you time to review your work.</image:title>

      <image:caption>While you’re away, you can schedule your social media posts with software like Metricool, so you’re still engaging with your customers.

      <image:caption>As a business owner, you may not feel able to give up working entirely. While taking time off is important for us all, it’s also necessary to be comfortable, even if that means checking on your business while you’re away to keep your mind at ease. For example, you may allow yourself 20 minutes daily to ensure your business runs smoothly. However, if you do this, you must set boundaries so your business doesn’t take over your holiday. There is just too much sea and surf to be had.</image:caption>
