The Pseudo-Expert, Freelance Style

The Pseudo-Expert, Freelance Style

Some days, it’s just easier to not “people.” A friend related an exchange she’d had with a freelancer. It was one of those freelancers who sets up shop and is now the Insta-Expert Flavor of the Month. Now he’s offering to answer your questions on the big, wide world of freelancing. Forgive me if I’m not impressed. We’ve seen this same song-and-dance routine before. “How I Made…

I wish this news piece had a byline so that I could shake the author's hand. I cannot find one single thing wrong with it--it's perfect. We're presented with information in a relevant and orderly manner, the story is free of any grotesque punctuation, and yeah, while it's a little sensational, I'd actually like to know if snakes are tooling around on public transportation in my city*. And I LOVE the part where they send the bus back to Port Authority because they have a resident snake expert on retainer. Oh wait, no they don't.:

"We have an employee who's familiar with snakes and other reptiles," Mr. Ritchie said. The employee was bit on the finger while trying to remove the unwanted guest; paramedics treated him as a precaution.

Let's take a minute to let it sink in that they didn't send the bus with the loose snake on it to animal control, or to a trained snake expert, or to the zoo or anything reasonable like that; they child-labor styled the problem to some in-house person with a "familiarity" with reptiles. It's beyond idiotic.

Seriously, cheers to whoever wrote this.

*"Snakes on a bus neé plane" reference excluded on purpose, and it is noted that the reporter avoided the reference as well. Four thumbs-up.

If you’re tweeting all your discounts, and none of your customers are on Twitter, then you sir, are an idiot.

Here's a hilariously overwrought piece from HARO founder Peter Shankman: Why I Will Never, Ever Hire a "Social Media Expert". No, sighs Shankman. Social media will not save your terrible business. As it happens, smart business "is about generating revenue through solid marketing and stellar customer service. Just like it's been since the beginning of time." Less shiny and sexy than a brand new Faceblr page, perhaps, but a principle worth remembering at all times. (Story via Adam Kmiec.)
