Preface this, I enjoy where I work and love what I do - but need more money, and I’m a bit capped out at my current company. I’ve been working in marketing for 10 years now and fintech start ups for 5. I’m currently owning marketing and product growth for a fintech subscription, leading a team of 9 that focuses on growth from ad click to subscription payment. I forecast and control our 8-figure ad budget, as well as do all the media buying and strategy for it. I’ve been trying to find freelance or consulting work on Upwork and LinkedIn, as I could do media buying or audits for campaigns for products in my sleep, but for some reason having no luck even getting an email back. Any suggestions or feedback would be helpful. Ideally trying to earn like just an extra $4-5k a month, nothing crazy #ads #growth #marketing #jobhunt #freelance #consulting
I run a daily mailing list that emails the latest remote marketing roles found that day (nothing outdated or older than 24 hrs)… not sure if that interests you but DM me if you want to join the list
I’m good thanks
Same boat. Feels like freelance opps dried up this past year. My hypothesis is that media buying on major ad platforms have become so simplified that people are mostly able to figure it out on their own.
And unwilling to pay rates for someone experienced.
This is probably true on the surface, I mean there is almost zero work involved in things like targeting now, but that was never THAT much work unless you’re talking about like 5-8 years ago. They may just fail to realize all the other day to day work involved in it
Probably your prices are too high
Possibly
