Very useful article.

“Another option is to work on your own projects, which can be a great experience because it can be anything you want it to be.”

Fantastic post (and free spam roulette strategies to boot!). Regarding #s 1-3 and 6, I really think new freelancers tend to feel too inexperienced to demand the compensation they deserve. I find it important to continually reassess the worth of our services. Most valuable advice I ever got: If you get every job you bid on, then your prices are too low.

A friend of mine told me about this strategy described http://www.roulettestrategythatworks.com in October. I played for free on their free roulette flash game to test it, then deposited $200 to test it out further… and I’ve won tons of money since then.

These are great tips!

While I am not a designer, I am a freelance writer and I still find these tips to be helpful. I am sure many of us wish we would have known these things when we first started out (like having a payment policy/contracts/work-life boundary), but I think we learn as we gain experience.

Also, it is so important to know which projects to say yes to and which to avoid at all costs. Very good insight, there!

Good stuff. Like the work/life boundaries part especially, but it’s all good. Can tell you’ve been there, done that.

Brilliant post that hits all the sore spots. Every point terrific, but decrying spec work and lambasting excessive revisions are Pure Truth. Getting to know the client is number one path to customer satisfaction. Great stuff!
