Just getting started as a freelancer | Livi Milčevičova - Freelance Social Media Expert

Livi and I know each other from quite a few years ago. She's my best friend's sister's best friend 🙈 and started freelancing this year.


We've recorded this session back in May while I was travelling in Barcelona. And as you'll notice very early into the podcast, it's one of the early recordings where I had no idea about sound. But we all have to begin somewhere.

Just like Livi did at the time of our recording.


About 10 years ago, Livi moved from Austria to Barcelona and has just booked her first freelance gig a week before our conversation.


This is probably the worst sound quality because we started recording outside (rookie mistake, I know) but it'll give you some nice background noise of people coming home on an afternoon in Barcelona. Or we can pretend the sound quality is ASMR 🤫

But as much as the sound isn't the best, the experience Livi describes as a new freelancer is very valuable.


I'm certain, many people will feel the same at the beginning of their freelance career.

Elisabeth Mayr knows the freelance life isn't just about doing the work you love; it's about navigating the unpredictable terrain of running your own business. In The Freelance Blueprint, she draws from her own experience as a freelance UX designer to create a resource that feels more like a series of honest conversations than a rigid instruction manual. Each episode features discussions with fellow freelancers from a wide range of disciplines, digging into the real stories behind their successes and setbacks. You’ll hear practical advice on setting rates, managing difficult clients, and finding a sustainable workflow, but also candid talk about isolation, self-doubt, and the personal growth that comes with this career path. This podcast is built on the understanding that while freelancing can be solitary, you don't have to figure it all out by yourself. Whether you're just considering the leap or are a seasoned veteran looking to refine your approach, Elisabeth and her guests offer tangible insights and a sense of community, making the complexities of independent work feel a little more manageable and a lot less lonely. Tune in for a grounded perspective that focuses on building a freelance career that works for your life.
