Question: What social media should I use for marketing?
Answer: It depends. Where are your clients and what do you feel comfortable doing? Also, if you hate social media, you as a business owner can decide not to force yourself to do it.
RT @CarolinaMarie_V
But you need to plan to spend money to support your #freelanceediting business on things like: computer upgrades, software upgrades, the tools you use, functional and comfortable workspaces, subscriptions like #CMOS, professional memberships, website, marketing.

Businesses understand that what they charge customers must:
🤑 cover your business costs
🤑 pay a reasonable salary to you
🤑 pay your benefits
RT @CarolinaMarie_V
You can’t foresee every issue. But when something goes wrong with a client or project, ask: Why did this happen? And what do you need to change about your boundaries/policies so it doesn’t happen again? #ACESEvolve #FreelanceEditing
Got a new coffee mug! A solid coffee mug is essential to #freelanceediting life ☕️
Requirements: not plastic (slightly anxious about plastics and food), not glass (hate it breaking), around the same capacity as my old mug (which was 16 oz), handle, dishwasher safe, double-walled to keep iced coffee cold, a nice squat muggy shape (should not fit in a cupholder). I’m pleased with this Stanley mug so far!
What is your go-to #coffee mug, if you are as particular about yours as I am about mine?
CMOS trained. Member of EFA and ACES. Looking for new clients. Favorite genres: Childrens/YA, Poetry, Fantasy/Sci-Fi

@atomicpoet THIS is why I have my own website, hosted by #WordPress. My blog, my portfolio — it’s all mine, and I don’t have to worry about the whims of some huge tech company upending my #FreelanceEditing biz.
@ConorMahood If you’re #editing a passage you need to be super-duper error-free … read it slowly BACKWARDS, then review forwards again. Works like a charm! #proofreading #AmEditing #FreelanceEditing

#introduction since I'm stalling on writing. I #write #fiction #poetry and #plays, do #FreelanceEditing of novels and books of poems, have a #Patreon where I write #flashfiction #postcards, help #edit Reckoning, and do #adjunct teaching.
As a writer (and reader), I mostly focus on #SpeculativeFiction with an emphasis on #horror. Other interests are #boardgames, #videogames, and #badmovies.
Also currently (and since 2016) overwhelmed with #politics.
