    Thanks for the video Deya. I wish I would have seen this before purchasing Honeybooks. Thinking about cancelling it especialy since I only have two clients on a retainer. Maybe I could just stick with Wave or try Dubsado out? Which of the two do you prefer? Thanks again!

    Hey your content just popped in mu feed and I really enjoyed but I noticed that you have only 2 tags in the video due to which the reach of this will be low. I have many points which can help you to make the content more optimistic. If you want more please let me know or connect somewhere else.

    Thanks, Deya for the video, I just found your channel. I am into web development, and I've never done freelance before. One topic I noticed you didn't cover is, is it recommended to sign yourself off as a LLS, LLC for legal purposes? I am in New York City, so I am not quite certain. I guess I will google and see if I can find this info. But if you are familiar with LLS or LLC's and if you are using one, could you please explain for you're regen how it may work for you? if you don't need one for freelance work? Thank you for the very informative video. I literally decided 20 minutes ago to go the freelance route, so I have so many questions I need to look into, thank you once again.

      Hi William! Congrats on making the decision to go freelance - so exciting!
      Re: your other Q: I'm not based in the US so I'm not the best person to give advice on that -- I'd highly recommend joining freelancing communities in your state/country to find out what people locally are doing. You'll get way more accurate info that way!

    Hi Deya, I have one question. Please help me out. "As a social media manager, when I give a certain start date on the contract then the client will expect me to start posting from the first week itself. But it is a bit tricky when we are first starting out with a client as a social media manager, because in the first week we also need to get the questionnaire from client, formulate strategy, create content calendar and then actually create the content before I can post anything. So in this situation how to communicate the same to the client that I need 2-4 days of buffer before I first start posting and also how to put that in the contract?"

    • @MyNameIsDeya
      @MyNameIsDeya  3 місяці тому

      hey! i'd just write that into the contract + timeline, that's very standard in the contracts that I've signed with social media managers that there is an initial 1-2 week set up period before posts will be scheduled + go live!
