| 7/10/25 | Surviving the summer holidays | “I’m eternally curious about how people tackle the summer holidays once they’ve got school age kids. It’s an impossible equation and there’s no one answer, but I feel like we can maybe come closer to our own personal truth by hearing how other people do it — to try and glean some inspiration." | — | ||||||
| 6/19/25 | You’ve rebranded — now what? | "I’m writing this while feeding my baby in a sensory room. True story! Anyway, I’m going to be rebranding and renaming my business in the autumn, and wondered if you had any advice for what steps I could take between now and then to make it land with a bang? The rebrand has already been done with a designer (Mad About The Brand) — it’s all ready. I just want to make sure it cuts through the noise and makes some waves. I’m also coming back from maternity leave very soon — so it’s all a lot of change at once!" | — | ||||||
| 5/22/25 | When you don't want to let another freelancer down | “I’m subcontracting on a project with a fellow freelancer. I like them, and working with them has been great. The project however, has been anything but. The clients are difficult, their working patterns don’t fit with mine, and their constant changes have added to our workload many times. My question is — How do I maintain my relationship with the freelancer (with the hope of working with them again) while telling them that I don’t want to do phase two of the project? I only signed up for phase one, but the client is acting as though phase two is a done deal, so I need to extricate myself without the other freelancer feeling like I’ve left them in the lurch! Help!” | — | ||||||
| 5/1/25 | When you’re expected to attend endless meetings | “How do you tell clients ‘I don’t want to attend that bloody meeting’!? I know meetings are needed (could have been an email though!) but my clients are now adding me to monthly all staff meetings, staff outings etc. I don’t even think all the staff realise I’m a freelancer?? It just ties up so much of my time and I also don’t actually care about holidays/xmas dos etc as I'M SELF EMPLOYED. Help!” | — | ||||||
| 4/3/25 | When you send a quote, and then regret it | "I was asked by an organisation recently how much I’d charge to redesign a publication they produce three times a year, with a view to then designing that along with other publications for them going forward. Problem is, I sent the price in and now I’m convincing myself I’ve undercharged for the amount of work it will be… Kicking myself for letting the imposter syndrome voices in. What would you do? Suck it up because it’s your mistake, or go back to them and correct yourself so you don’t kick yourself each time you work on it (providing I get the job)? Have you ever revised a quote after sending it?" | — | ||||||
| 3/20/25 | When you need help untangling your thoughts and ideas | “Dear Frankie and Steve, A retainer client of mine gave notice over the weekend (her business is quiet and she can’t afford to keep us on) but it’s got me thinking and feeling a bit stuck. I feel like *something is going to happen* — like a shift is coming? — but I can’t quite put my finger on it or work it out, and I’ve decided I want to do this myself rather than doing some coaching etc. I suppose my question is… What do you and Steve do when you feel like this? Do you ever feel like this?? Any tips or advice for working things out on your own? Thanks!” | — | ||||||
| 3/6/25 | When you don’t ‘need’ formal childcare | “Hi Frankie and Steve! I have a childcare question for you… With our first born, we never considered putting her in nursery. I reduced my hours at my (employed) job and my partner and I shared looking after her by working alternate days. This time around I’m self-employed, and with my partner now working 5 days a week, I’m only able to work after 4pm which is really hard. I’m getting work done, but it’s incredibly difficult to get motivated to work at that time. Our youngest is now 2 and therefore qualifies for the 15 ‘free’ hours a week. But we both feel incredibly guilty about thinking of using a nursery, even for a couple of afternoons a week. I personally feel like I’m being selfish, because we are making it work at the moment without formal childcare, and the number 1 reason we’d put him in a nursery would be so I can work during the day a bit more. Sooo, can I have your pros and cons for using paid-for childcare when you’re in a situation like mine? When you don’t NEED to. Thank you Ps. I’d like a detective name please” | — | ||||||
| 2/6/25 | How do you know when it’s time to outsource? | “Hi Frankie & Steve, I'm at a stage with my business where I know what I want to be doing and where it is going, but I need to get myself out there more. With 3 young kids, 3 small businesses, a dog and a tortoise ... I don't need to tell you, but I really don't have the time to be doing the marketing that I need to be doing. Especially as I am useless at it and don't really know what I'm doing! So I'm thinking about hiring some PR help but this doesn't come cheap. I'm sitting on the fence, umming and ahhing over it because I know that I *can* do it myself, but I don't want to get it wrong. But I also don’t want to spend money on something that might not work (which has happened in the past). So after my very long intro — my question is this: How do you know when the right time to be spending money on a business is? Are there certain markers I should be reaching financially, or audience wise before I consider signing up to what is likely to be a minimum 3-month contract? What do I do? My brain is going round and round in circles! Thanks, Katie” | — | ||||||
| 1/23/25 | When you’ve lost your content creation mojo | “I’m struggling to get back into the rhythm of creating content consistently. This isn’t just an after-Christmas thing, this is an after-the-summer-last-year thing. I used to create every week without fail and I know people like what I do. And I even know it made a difference to my business, but I struggled with even once a month for the second half of the year. What do you think? How can I get my making mojo back?” | — | ||||||
| 11/14/24 | How to work out your rates | “Hi Frankie and Steve! I’ve been full-time freelance since 2020 (brave or stupid one month into a global pandemic?? You decide) and now have over 15 years of agency, in-house and freelance experience behind me. I charge by the hour and have some fabulous clients who trust the process and appreciate the timesheets I keep when I invoice them at the end of the month. I never quote up front, in fact, I refuse to do so because I am so bad at working out how long projects might take…! However, my question is — how do I know what my hourly rate should be? I never hear *anyone* discuss their hourly rate, and I am finding it quite a challenge to figure out if I am ‘doing it right’ or not? I currently charge £50 an hour for existing clients, and all new clients I have moved to a new rate of £65 an hour. I have had no one complain or question it, I have not lost a client from it, but at the same time, I don’t want to run the risk of losing a client or scaring away potential new clients if I am wayyyyyy off the mark in terms of pricing. How is everyone working this stuff out?? Thank you for the fabulous work you both do, keep it up! Kiemia” | — | ||||||
| 9/26/24 | How to make the most of having ‘more time’ | Hi Frankie & Steve, With Wildling now at school, technically I have ‘more time’ available to me spread out over a full week. *Chokes on tea because we all know ‘more time’ is bullsh*t — have you seen the amount of school-related admin there is?!* Anyway. So far so good. But I need help managing this newfound time, and how to make the ‘best’ of it I suppose? I’m battling with setting boundaries, and how to approach and commit to new or potential partners/clients, as well as finding space for MYSELF too. I’m slowly finding a groove. But would love to know how you and everybody in DIFTK found this shift? Thanks! Louise” | — | ||||||
| 7/11/24 | Marketing yourself without social media | “Hi Frankie & Steve! Do you think it’s possible to market yourself as a freelancer in 2024 without using social media? Particularly if you *hate* showing your face? Thanks! Ange” | — | ||||||
| 6/27/24 | Quick ways to drum up some work | “Hi Frankie & Steve, It's tough out there right now — what do you think is the quickest way freelancers can make something happen in terms of winning work? Thanks, Ayo” | — | ||||||
| 3/14/24 | When you’re nervous about public speaking | “Hi Frankie & Steve! I am giving a 10 minute talk next week and I need your help. Public speaking is something I never do, so I had a little practice and filmed myself doing my talk and my voice is soooooo wishy washy. I hate it when I ‘ummm’ a lot so try to actively pause instead, but then the flow of the talk is all wrong? I just feel like my voice has no authority! How do you both make your voice sound so clear and confident? Have you always been good at speaking or have you just improved with time? Thanks! Esme” | — | ||||||
