And if it works for you, Gabriella, then it’s right. And you’ve convinced me it’s not a requirement. 🙂

My business cards are woefully out of date. I didn’t have any conference to attend this year, so it was a moot point having new ones. But tweeting? Honey, I have to stop myself or I’d be there constantly!

My superpower is building strong relationships. Most of my clients are what I’d call friends. Some I worked with before I went freelance, but others I’ve developed really great relationships with. One, for example, lives about 10 minutes from me. We’ve not connected outside of business, but she emailed me last week and asked if I’d like to meet up at the dog beach to just catch up. I consider that a wonderful compliment.

My other superpower is always, always meeting a deadline. Always. That’s another reason my clients refer me.

On the website, I know you’ve said you believe it’s necessary, but I’ve had my own business since 2005 and never had a website. I don’t work LinkedIn. I don’t discuss my business on my FB page. I have a Twitter account after someone told me I needed one. And I don’t think I’ve tweeted more than once. I don’t even have business cards. I know, that’s nutty, right?

But it’s worked for me.
