Let’s nerd out for a second because this stat blew our minds: ✨ A premium onboarding experience can improve client retention by 25%. ✨ Sounds small, but think about it like this... If your clients typically stay 6 months, better onboarding could keep them around for 7.5 months. That’s a 25% boost in income without getting any new clients!! Let's say you were charging £1000 a month (most charge more) - that's an extra £1500 in your bank just because your onboarding was good 🤯 What would that mean for you? A holiday? More family time? Here’s the wild part… most freelancers don’t even have an onboarding process. They wing it with a bunch of emails and maybe a shared Google Drive. But a great onboarding experience tells your client: ✔️ You’ve got systems ✔️ You know what you’re doing ✔️ They made the right decision by choosing you That builds trust. And trust = retention. So if you want to quietly make more money without taking on more clients, start there. Here’s one small upgrade you can make this week: Create a welcome pack that reminds them about your service, how you work and what happens next. It provides instant reassurance and makes them feel like they've made the right choice. ~ Laura & Laura 💕 P.S. We're building Hubsy to take care of all your onboarding for you - we explain how it works here.

We love a good trend. (note the word good) The Anthroplogie rock, this week's rapture... hell even 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday' was ok to start with. But not all trends are worth jumping on, and the new Instagram reel size that seems to be blowing up this week is one of those trends we're swerving! In case you missed it, people have started posting 5120x1080 Reels. They look like this 👇 There are 3 reasons you might wanna avoid following this trend... 1) People watching without sound won't...
Freelance life is meant to feel freeing, right? But when you’re a social media manager, it can feel more like you’ve swapped a full-time boss for five different new ones, 47 logins, and so many tabs your laptop looks like it is growing something! Burnout is one of the most common reasons people leave the freelance world, it breaks our hearts when we see incredible social media managers give up because they’re stretched too thin. But burnout doesn’t just happen overnight. It creeps in quietly...
I don’t know about you, but I hate remembering passwords. Yet somehow, I can never forget one very important one: the Deliveroo passcode! They use a simple two-digit passcode that never changes, and coz it's always the same, I always remember it! That’s exactly why we built the Hubsy Power Hour portal in the way we did. Because you don't need the added admin that comes from sending follow-up emails with the recordings and any notes you promised to send over, but you also don't want your...
