Hi, I’m Jade! I’m a creative entrepreneur, micro-publisher and closet geek.
You’ve reached this page because you want to learn more about my work history.
For the last 4 years, I’ve freelanced in social media. I primarily did content creation,with the occasionally community management role. Most of my work was low key and for experience rather then payment.
Viral posts:
One of my specialties is the viral list post. I created the ‘Bloggers to Watch’ series on problogger. I was also hired to raise awareness of the relaunch of the Netsetter. I did that with my post 50 Netsetters You Should Know About. Each link will take you to a page detailing the various conversations around each post.
During 2009-2010 I was a prolific guest poster and regularly contributed to Twitip and Problogger. Based on this experience, I have an extensive network of people who like hearing about new products and services that are relevant to them. The only catch is, it has to be a win/win deal for them.
Social Media Management:
During 2009, I did some work for Think Tank Media with their social media management. It was a fantastic experience and I worked on some interesting campaigns. Since then, I have freelanced with a couple of digital agencies when they required me services.
Additionally, I helped out with behind the scenes networking for Australia’s first social media conference, Connect Now
Launch Support:
I was the media assistant for Dave Navarro, The Launch Coach, for 6 months in 2010. I helped raise awareness of his product launches and monitored the conversations around him to ascertain who we should be reaching out to. This culminated in a trip to Blogworld in 2010. I stopped working for him as he had personal issues that disrupted his business.
I also:
- Helped Frank Wall make $1000 upon launch of his Food To Go eBook
- Mentored Srinivas Rao to help him grow BlogcastFM
Micropublishing and curation:
I’m currently working on two digital magazines. The first, Launch Watch, compliments the work I used to do for The Launch Coach. The concept is evolving and I’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback from my community. The second, about social media in Melbourne, will be launching in 2012.
I had previously created a magazine called Blog Networking Tips, which was averaging around 1000 downloads an issue.
Publications:
In 2010, I released a successful e-course on how to network via social media. This product was chosen to be part of the only72 launch, and I had my work go in front of thousands of people.
In 2011, I created a new guide on word of mouth. I took both the products off the market to revamp them to be republished on the kindle.
I also contributed a chapter to the bestselling book, Agents of Action. Learn more.
Studies
In 2012, I am returning to study marketing at university. Prior to this, I acheived my Certificate IV in small business.
I’m a graduate of many digital marketing courses such as Blog Mastermind and Membership site mastermind. I’ve read over 100 books and guides about business, marketing and publishing.
