Working from home as a freelancer is a dream for many. But it can become a lonely experience. That is why the world of social media can be such a great resource for freelancers and work from home entrepreneurs worldwide.
A favorite platform among freelancers is Instagram, and for good reason.
Instagram is an excellent platform for freelancers for a variety of reasons. By searching for hashtags like #workfromhome, #freelancing, and #homeoffice, you can find and connect with other freelancers by commenting on their pictures and reaching out to them with a message. You can also search for creatives in your field with a specific hashtag like #FreelanceWriters or #FreelanceGraphicDesigners.
Being a visual platform, Instagram freelancers can also inspire you with their designs, work, and images to help you keep the creativity flowing. Instagram could also be part of your marketing strategy to share and advertise your work, connect with potential clients, and gain feedback and clarity. You can share your behind-the-scenes process and all the effort that goes into what you do.
So here are 8 accounts to follow as a freelancer to stay inspired and on your A-game:
