Great article, with the addition of a single word:

… Determine where each new [qualified] lead comes from…

If your marketing isn’t bringing in qualified leads, then it’s just dumping more white noise into your inbox and your life.

Don’t just measure leads. Measure whether you’re getting the right kind of leads.

I think it’s important to be a specialist. At the moment I’m concentrating on bringing out a new version of my site, but after that I’m looking to concentrate my efforts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Béhance and Designers Couch. The reason being that it means I can spend more time on fewer mediums and hopefully get better results – I’ll see how it goes.

I think one of the toughest parts of this debate is figuring the value of name recognition. Freelancers understand (or they should anyway) that a great way to increase visibility is to become an “expert” in whatever niche you’re in, and social media can go a long way toward lending your name some cachet in the industry. That’s really what I see as the long-tail game of social networking. My social media time is kind of split between networking to get leads and jobs (following up with clients and co-workers, etc.) and networking with other people in my field to make sure they know who I am and what I’m doing because (I hope) this will pay off eventually by establishing me as someone who pays attention to trends in my field and is trying to push the envelope wherever possible. But figuring out my ROI on that sort of stuff is probably impossible.

Great article with some really good points in the discussion.

Social media is a very powerful tool for any freelancer, and using it as a ‘break’ from real work can greatly improve your knowledge in your particular niche.

Thanks for sharing it.

Social media is definitely a great potential source of income for freelancers, (well not just freelancers). I think that its good to have a review of where income comes from and measure the success of your networking efforts.
