How Tia Meyers built the world’s largest organization of women freelancers — Freelancing Females — in just one year

Freelancing Females, founded by Tia Meyers, is a global community of over 18,000 women that offers mentorship, support, and job opportunities to women redefining traditional work structures. The community, which started as a Facebook group, has expanded to hosting events in major U.S. cities and features a newsletter and active Instagram presence. The platform aims to address the unique challenges faced by female freelancers, such as isolation, inconsistent work, and pricing strategies, by providing resources like networking events, online groups, and social media engagement. Meyers, who transitioned from corporate roles to freelance social media consulting, was inspired to create a supportive space where women can diversify their skills and work on meaningful projects.
