I’ve got a LinkedIn, a personal website (this one, baby!), a business website (strangeriot.com), and some social media work promoting my scripts and production work. I need to unify some things, update other things, and maybe even downsize a little.
I’m starting a campaign in my life to better organize my freelancing work so that I can actually make something out of all this!
That’s it for now. I realized it’s been a few months since I posted, so here’s my update! I’ve been busy working on new scripts (for clients and for myself), productions (both freelance and for an agency), and figuring out how to move forward in this industry.
How to Get Somewhere as a Writer
I have a path charted out for myself and this is the first step forward.
As part of this, I’m journeying into consolidating my different social media profiles and bringing them all under one cohesive brand (my freelance screenwriting and content development branding, mainly).
I’m going to figure out which of the platforms I currently post on or want to post on would be the most effective for writers in my situation. (I’m mainly thinking it’s going to be LinkedIn, Threads, TikTok, and Instagram). Once I officially figure all that out, I’ll make the names, handles, profile pictures, and so on more uniform as branding elements. Finally, I’ll do a better job of consistently posting (on brand) to each of them.
I have screenwriting clients already but I’m always looking for more. I am really doing a push to figure out how to best network with those not necessarily in my position but those who can help me elevate my position. Ideally, they have a skill I don’t have and I have a skill they don’t have. Rising tides, right?
Are you someone who wants to help out? I want to help your ship rise if you want to help mine. Let’s tackle the increasingly difficult film and television industry together!
