Tips from Rachel Viney who started the Wallingford Freelancers Club

  • Do it!
  • There are quite a lot of people up for it
  • Don’t be surprised if they don’t all come at once – stick at it
  • If you get stuck, think of something new – maybe another recruitment drive
  • You don’t need to spend any money at all promoting it
  • Editorial is free
  • Talk nicely to shops so they can help you with what you want - to contact freelancers
  • The venue is important – must be congenial
  • Keep it flexible
  • Don’t worry about numbers!
