How do I make money - self-employed - without using corporate social media?
I was coasting along on an extremely minimal income and I embraced an ethical position of using only privacy-compatible technology.
I subsequently had a wonderful little person come into my life who has made me want to have more material capability & flexilibilty. And so I have turned to trying to sell my skills again.
By refusing to use to use corporate social media to promote my services, I am handicapping myself in getting work.
I also struggle to bring myself to cooperate with powers which are working to undermine my child’s opportunity to have a good life.
Would appreciate your thoughts
Yeah, that’s pretty much what I’m doing at the moment (haven’t quite got to door-to-door though - maybe it will come to that). Those are some good ideas for locations for placing ads - thanks. I’m out of that headspace and need to get back in it!
I can’t help noticing how much work is coming in to my peers from instagram though. I’m getting the impression that it has become the standard medium/conduit for professionals.
If trying bulk mail – explore USPS “EDDM” services for canvassing local ZIP codes for sub-letter pricing.
Instagram is the standard way to reach people in their 30s and early 40s. Anyone older or younger, traditional methods should bring more repeat business.
