About this listen

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

  • 185: Tired of Chasing Clients for Money? Do These Three Things to Get Paid on Time
    Apr 28 2026

    You've done the work, sent the invoice... and now you're waiting. And waiting. Is chasing clients for money just part of being freelance, or are you missing a system that would sort this out for good?

    In this episode, Laura Davis shares the three essential systems every freelance social media manager needs to get paid on time (plus a bonus tip that takes all the awkwardness out of chasing payments).

    In this episode, we're chatting about:

    • Why you need to charge in advance and how to handle clients with 60 or 90-day payment terms
    • Why invoicing late is secretly giving clients permission to pay you late
    • How automating reminders (and late payment fees) takes the emotion out of asking for what you're owed
