This is NOT another ebook on how to grow your social media followers. Also, it is NOT another "get-rich-quick-scheme". As you will learn in this book, the number of followers is just a number and not very relevant. Of course, it matters, but it is not everything like many people believe. This ebook is about building your online presence as a whole. That includes being active on social media platforms, maybe having a blog, networking with other people and so on. Having a strong online presence is a must if you want to go freelancing. Also, it can bring lots of opportunities, such as: 1. Job offers (do not search for jobs, let jobs find you) 2. Paid gigs 3. Side income (paid articles, paid work, etc.) 4. Meeting different and cool people 5. Participating to conferences 6. Being part of exclusive communities Bottom line, you learn how to make yourself visible and how to sell yourself. You can see in the chapter called "Why this book", what opportunities I got so you can see how powerful an online presence is. Why this ebook? I do not like showing off, but it is necessary to prove that I know what I am talking about. In 7 months since I have started being more active on social media and writing consistently on my blog, I: * spoke at various conferences and workshops * received offers to write paid articles * received an offer to write paid tutorials on a well-known platform * met incredibly cool and knowledgeable people I put together everything I did and learnt along the way. As I have said, this is not some “guru stuff” that teaches you how to make “$1 million overnight or how to become an instant success”. However, you can learn a lot of things to kickstart your career as a freelancer or to earn some side income.
