This post gives you a quick map of how to use the space, what each category is for, and where to go when you’re stuck. Quick things to do first: 👋 Say hey & make your mark! Introduce yourself, share what you’re building, and throw a question into the mix. That’s how you’ll get the most from the group. 🚀 What’s in this space Here’s a breakdown of each category and a link to its intro post: 💬 Ask Anything 🎯 Growth Tactics 💼 The Business Bit 🤝 Jobs & Collabs 🛠️ Tools & Tech 📸 Shoot Stories 🔥 Content Inspiration 🏆 Wins & Progress 📌 Feedback Requests 📚 Lessons ❗ Why this matters❗ Being a creative business owner can be lonely. You’re juggling clients, chasing payments, editing at midnight - while everyone else thinks you “just take photos.” There’s no team chat, no boss to reassure you, no one to ask if your quote looks okay or if your reel flopped for a reason.

Have a job you can’t cover? Want to test a new idea with someone local? This is the place to hire, team up, or help out - and a great space to build your freelance network and land more wins. ✅ Post paid jobs or collabs ✅ Be clear on the ask (dates, location, budget if possible) ✅ Tag where you’re based ✅ Reply or DM to connect We’re building a crew that shares the work, not just the wins. So if you’ve got something or want in this is your space.

This is where we talk growth without the fluff. Real strategies. Real wins. Real questions. 🚀 Marketing that works (and what flopped) 📊 SEO, ads, email lists, funnels 💬 Cold outreach vs warm referrals 📱 Social media moves that actually get results 💼 Collaborations, networking, pitching, positioning If you’ve tried it, tested it, or wondering how to do it - share it here. Let’s help each other grow smarter.

✨ Share the visuals, campaigns, edits, music, or moodboards that made you feel something. 📂 Post your own work for feedback. Or show off something you’re proud of. 🎧 Got a go-to playlist or podcast that sparks ideas? Drop it here. Let this be your scroll-break zone. No algorithms. No pressure. Just stuff that gets the creative juices going.

Sometimes it’s smooth sailing. Sometimes it’s a memory card full of chaos. This space is for sharing: - Jobs that went perfectly (or perfectly wrong) - Behind-the-scenes gems - What you learned, what you’d do differently - Wild client requests - Last-minute saves - Tech hiccups and lighting miracles Drop the full story or a quick takeaway - someone here will definitely relate (or learn from it). Let’s be honest: we all wing it sometimes. This is the space to own it.
