From Marine to Freelance Content Creator – Weaving words and images into impactful content solutions for success.
This Is Me
The Bean Story
Hey there! I’m James Bean, your friendly neighborhood Freelance Content Creator. I was born in Touwsrivier, South Africa, but it was my siblings who quickly caught on to my knack for storytelling. From an early age, they joked that I could spin a yarn about anything! Plus, I was the editor of my primary school newspaper—so I guess I was destined for this gig. Whether through words or images, I’ve always been passionate about capturing life’s unique moments.
From Nurse to Narrator | An Unlikely Journey
Life has taken me on quite a ride! At 18, I joined the South African Marine Corp, where I learned discipline and teamwork. Then, I transitioned to nursing, caring for patients and embracing the importance of compassion. My creative side kept nudging me, leading me to manage a bustling restaurant and edit a community newspaper. Now, I channel all those experiences into crafting SEO content writing and content marketing strategies that genuinely connect with people.

A Snapshot of My Passion
Photography isn’t just a hobby; it’s a crucial piece of my storytelling toolkit! Without it my life is like a braai without the boerewors (or, a barbeque without burgers!)
After running a successful photographic studio in Rosebank as part of the Foto First group, I dove into journalism, sharpening my writing wit along the way. Now, I blend social media content with eye-catching visuals to create content solutions that resonate, whether it’s a blog post or a brand campaign. Let’s be honest, we all want to make an impact—just like a lion roaring in Kruger!
Faith, Family, and Freelance Content Creator Life
My faith is my cornerstone, guiding me through every challenge and triumph. I’m committed to uplifting my community, offering help to those in need, whether through spiritual support or practical assistance. Balancing my freelance career with family life, I’ve mastered the art of juggling responsibilities while staying true to my values.
