The world of Freelance & building one of the World's largest community for female freelancers with Tia Meyers | Freelancing Females

Tia knows what it’s like to not get paid - and it turns out she’s
not the only one. What started as a small group designed to
discuss non-payment issues quickly grew into the world’s largest
community of freelance women. Freelancing Females is now a safe
haven for all who identify as women to share their wins, losses,
fears, and knowledge in our ever-growing gig, project-based, and
freelance economy.


Tia’s work first started managing events at JetBlue where she
learned the ins and outs of client services, large-scale event
planning, and the perfect placement of blue streamers. Next, Tia
managed a community at tech startup FiftyThree where she grew
their Instagram by 450% and managed a community of 25 million
artists, creatives, and makers.


After working in social media for these brands and others (click
here for her full CV if you are really interested) Tia channeled
her experience into building Freelancing Females from the ground
up in May 2017. Working as a solopreneur with only passionate
volunteers and a few freelancers to help her, Tia raised more
than $31,000 in a crowdfunding campaign in 13 days and grew the
group to 25K members in less than two years.


Now Freelancing Females is 51K members strong, all of whom are
vetted, active freelancers. Tia keeps a hands-on role in
executive leadership of the group, while also consulting for
brands, speaking publicly, and offering one-on-one mentorship for
the next generation of young women who want to work for
themselves.


If you want to find Tia, check any dog-friendly Brooklyn coffee
shop. She loves to travel, spoil her Affenpoo dog Mango, sample
every chai latte available to womankind, and basically just live
her best freelance life.
