JFDI — The Show for Freelance Social Media Managers

Listen for free

You built a business doing social media for clients. The goal was freedom, good money, and work you actually enjoy. What you got was six clients paying £400 a month, a laptop that never fully closes, and the creeping suspicion that everyone else has figured something out that you haven't. That's exactly why JFDI exists. Every week, The Two Lauras — Laura Moore and Laura Davis — give freelance social media managers the honest, practical advice that actually moves the needle. How to charge more without losing the clients you've got. How to stop working evenings for people who treat your invoice like a suggestion. How to use AI to work smarter without it eating your soul. How to build a freelance social media business that pays you properly and doesn't make you want to dust off your old CV. We've got nearly 30 years of marketing experience between us, and we've been building successful freelance social media businesses long enough to have seen every trend, algorithm change, and industry shake-up coming. We know what works, we know what's nonsense, and we're not shy about telling you which is which. JFDI stands for Just F***ing Do It. And that's the energy here. New episodes every week. Follow so you never miss one.Copyright 2026 The Hub For Social Media Managers Ltd Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Marketing Marketing & Sales

    193: Atomicon 2026: the biggest takeaways for freelance social media managers
    Jun 23 2026

    We are just back from Atomicon, and one theme that ran through the whole event: use AI, but stay human. Get that balance right, and you stand out. Get it wrong, and you don't. In this episde we're unpacking how to do that.

    Hit play to hear:

    → The two types of business that'll thrive as AI takes over, and the one place no freelance social media manager wants their business to end up

    → What the latest research says about trust, and why your clients need a human face out front more than ever.

    → The simple rule everyone should adopt for using AI

    → Three things every social media manager should start doing with AI right now (none of them is technical)
