#26: How to Go Freelance as a Content Marketer
Description
Welcome to this week’s episode of Content Marketing Commute, where I was in Paris to speak with Yannig Roth - former CMO and now Founder and CEO of Hirondo.
Hirondo is a super cool, newly-minted freelance collective that deliver outstanding results to their clients. I would know because I am part of it!
Yannig and I worked together on a project not too long ago and when I was thinking of doing an episode on how to become a freelancer, I knew it was Yannig I had to interview!
Freelancing is becoming a more and more popular option for us content marketers. Gone are the days when you signed up for a job for life - these days we have options! And freelancing is a fantastic one. Freedom to choose the work you want to do, freedom to pick your hours (if you’re smart) and much more.
But this career choice also comes with some serious challenges. I’ve been a freelancer for just around 7 months now and boy, being your own sales person is fun at first but the fun wears off after a while!
Yannig emphasizes in this episode that freelancing wasn't always his plan—he kind of stumbled into it. Yet, it has offered him a sense of freedom and the opportunity to bring his own twist to his work. Hirondo, the collective he founded, emerged as a solution for companies that needed expert freelancers without the risk and cost of full-time hires.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
