What to Post This Week (8/17)

Writer's Block Rx for working girls

OK, new week. Let’s get it.

1. Throw it Back

I dug up this photo of me as a little baby doing Teach For America last week and used it to talk about work with one of my clients. Scroll through your phone: do you have a photo of an earlier time of you working that you could connect to now? People love a throwback.

2. Show me your phone

What’s a text exchange that perfectly sums up how you work? Or how you communicate with clients? Screen shot it and use it. Here’s mine - I’m going to use it to talk about how positioning work helps my clients crush their messaging.

And of course, bonus idea below for the paid peeps : )

3. Astrological Approaches

I’ve been seeing this on Instagram, and I am going to try it on LinkedIn this week (where I’ve never seen it). Take every astrological sign and tell me what kind of client they’d be, or how they’d approach your work.

Here’s what I’m thinking:

How every astrological sign pitches their business:

Aries: “I’m the best. I get it done. That’s it.”

Aquarius: Takes payment in the form of carbon credits to avoid participating in capitalism.

Scorpio: Says they totally understand if you go with another option, but will consider leaving a bad review on your business if you do

Gemini: Will communicate over phone, text, DM and email before sending you an agreement.

Sagittarius: Takes you out for drinks - if you end up at karaoke, you’re probably working together

Taurus: One price, everything easily found on website. Will wait you out.

Capricorn: Has already started working on your project before you pay the deposit.

Virgo: Submits a 14-page proposal with table of contents and a risk avoidance section no one asked for

Pisces: Loves a coffee chat. Will decline work based on vibes.

Libra: Gets all clients via networking because everyone loves them immediately.

Leo: The only sign for whom lead magnets + Instagram actually gets traction.
