Oh, a few other things …
• OK so. Remember how I said last month I was thinking about subscriptions to keep Freelancing With Tim going? After taking in all your feedback … today I’m doing a ~soft launch~ of subscriptions. SO. If you have found FWT valuable and helpful, I would be so grateful if you subscribed to my Patreon here so I can keep doing these Sunday panels and these weekly newsletters (and so much more! Upgrade memberships include twice as many newsletters, more Zoom panels, pitch feedback, a future video archive and all kinds of stuff!).
I’m still refining it all (particularly how sponsorships will work), so it might slightly change, but I promise promise promise it’ll always be worth your money. That said: Everything you’ve been getting — the weekly newsletter and the Sunday panels — is still free, and that’s all going to stay free. That’s the point! But if you find any of this useful and you’ve got a few bucks to spare, I would SO appreciate if you subscribed!!!
• Freelance superstar Anna Goldfarb — whomst I did a Q&A with the other week — recently did a Twitter thread about coming up with story ideas, and it’s absolutely invaluable. Check it out here.
• FWT is now on Instagram! Follow us here. There’s gonna be sooooo much great video stuff there very soon!
• As always, send questions, comments, thoughts, cute pet photos or anything else to freelancingwithtim@gmail.com, and follow me on Twitter for updates throughout the week.
Okay bye ily!
