Behind the Curtain – Supporting Creatives By Doing Jobs You’ve Never Heard About

May 4 @ 6:00 pm7:00 pm EDT
A graphic announcing "Behind the Curtain - Supporting Creatives By Doing Jobs You've Never Heard About" for the Nib and Ink Fest 2025 on May 4th, 2025 at 6:00PM EST on Zoom featuring panelist FireCatRich aka Richelle Sholdice. The panel description reads, "A freelancer's perspective from behind the curtain of subscription campaigns, building online presence, social media, and support work." An anthropomorphic inkwell and an anthropomorphic both holding comic pages decorate the graphic.

A freelancer’s perspective from behind the curtain of subscription campaigns, building online presence, social media, and support work. There is a lot to being a creative, especially as you build a progressively bigger following. From making canned messages, evergreen and supplemental content creation, templates, and a directory of fan mail answers are all on the table for a freelancer to step in to take over. It’s a job that not a lot of people know about and businesses big or small can benefit from knowing about these practices and having the right structure can make it easier if the time comes to onboard a freelancer or just make your life easier running your own online business going forward. A one hour minute presentation about work as a freelancer in the non-glamorous creative support.

Presented by FireCatRich.
