What is the worst gig on your resume?

We’ve all been desperate for money, especially when just starting out. I remember writing articles about the best way to clean vomit off the carpet and how to get dog poo out of one’s automobile upholstery.

Freelancers Unite

Freelance Switch has a good point. What are other freelancers doing, charging and thinking? It’s something we all wonder about.
They’ve created a survey all freelancers should take regarding our habits, earnings and reasons for doing what we do.  The survey aims to “compile our collective knowledge for the benefit of freelancers everywhere.”
I took the survey, […]

What are your biggest challenges?

This is my dream job. I have great clients, I can work off my back deck and I don’t have to commute to an office any more. Like any job however, there are challenges. Time management is a big one, especially now that there’s no school. We do have camp a few mornings a […]
