Networking is more than just attending events and swapping business cards. Freelancers, in particular, can find fellow collaborators, future partners, prospective clients, and a tribe of fellow freelancers when they network. Networking is about building relationships and like all relationships it takes trust and personal contact built over time. 1. Do a head check first and look inward. The first relationship to consider before you jump into networking is the one you have with yourself. Can you deliver commitments and handle setbacks in a professional way? Do you recover quickly when things…
How blogging changed my life

Escape From Cubicle Nation

27 Apr 2012 | 1:14 pm

Once upon a time, I was sitting in my home office in Mesa, Arizona with a tiny baby boy in my arms, and a big idea in my head. “What if I could help all those people I met in my years consulting in large corporations who wanted to start a business?” It felt like crazy talk. I imagined disguising myself and going into the cafeterias of Silicon Valley companies and handing out flyers. I had no idea where to begin. Thankfully, through Andrea Lee, I met Suzanne Falter-Barns. Her course about building an online presence had an assignment to start a thing called a blog. I didn’t…
Design tips for home offices in small spaces

Collaboration

Jessica Stillman

15 May 2012 | 8:03 am

Constant connection and the blurring of the lines between rest and work that it sometimes causes is one of the clearest downsides to the otherwise pretty awesome phenomenon of remote and flexible working. Tech tools that block distractions can help keep the spheres separate and give your brain a chance to recharge, as can shifting company culture to encourage rejuvenating off-time. But can space design also play a role? If you have a huge pad then keeping your spaces for work and for chilling physically separate is a non-issue – just locate them in different parts of your home and simply…
Can’t we all just get along? Employees, freelancers, entrepreneurs and coworking

Collaboration

Jessica Stillman

11 May 2012 | 8:03 am

Coworking, originally a movement dominated by freelancers and entrepreneurs, is increasingly attracting the attention of larger companies. And as these firms and their employees take notice, more and more remote corporate employees are joining the mix at coworking spaces. Do their expectations line up with those of freelancers and entrepreneurs? Do they get as much out of the coworking experience? The Second Global Coworking Survey aimed to answer these questions, with the results published recently in DeskMag. The findings confirm that the number of employees working out of coworking spaces…

So You Think You’re a Writer?

9 May 2012 | 7:30 am

I have a confession. Sometimes, when I meet people for the first time, and I am asked what I do for a living, I hesitate. I know what I do, but there are moments when I don’t feel like using the word “write” and its derivatives. I still cannot pinpoint the reason, but the next time it happens, I shall certainly think about it again. Has that happened to any of you? Maybe you find it easy to put on the label “writer”, but whether or not you do, what I’d like to share in today’s Grammar Guide is something about some “signs” that writers…

Write to Done
The New Style of Writing for the Net (Are You Up with the Play?)

Mary Jaksch

14 May 2012 | 6:05 am

By Mary Jaksch, Chief Editor of Write to Done If you want to improve your writing, where do you look for inspiration? I mean, would you use Shakespeare as your guide? Or Hemingway? Or other famous authors? I hope not. Because writing for the Net is different. The new style of blog writing is based upon … The answer may surprise you. It’s not writing for a newspaper or a magazine, or journal writing, or creating novels, or academic writing. It’s copywriting. Weird, eh? What Joe Sugerman can teach bloggers Joe Sugerman is one of the copywriting greats. He’s what Mohammed…

How to Succeed in Writing When You’re Not an Expert in Anything

A guest post by Carol Tice from Make a Living Writing Do you worry that you aren’t qualified to be a writer? I frequently have writers tell me they feel their chances of earning well from writing are doomed, because they’re not an expert in anything. Or that it’s hopeless because they don’t have a college degree. They can’t launch a successful blog, because there are already so many blogs farther along than theirs, with more authority. We all know there are certain specialized writing niches that can pay very well, such as technology, finance, and healthcare.
How to Find Your Daily Writing Motivation

A guest post by James Chartrand of Men with Pens You know the deal: If you want to get better at writing, you need to write. Preferably daily. Preferably at the same time every day. But uuuuuugh. What if you’re just not motivated to write every day? What if you can’t discipline yourself? What if you tried for a few days then completely ran out of juice and sat around eating cookies instead? Every writer struggles with this. “I just don’t have any motivation today,” we say, all sad and desolate, as if we’d completely run out and had no idea where to get…

A Guest Post by Ali Luke of Aliventures.com You’ve had the seed of a novel in your head for months now. Maybe it’s a plot idea (“What if..?”) Maybe it’s a character. Maybe it’s simply the thought of writing something that’d bring other people the same pleasure that you’ve had as a reader. That seed has been sitting, waiting. And now it’s time to let it grow. I know you’re not ready. I know you don’t have enough time. I know you don’t want to waste your idea by going for it too soon.

Showcase: 50 Exuberantly Colorful Logos

Felix Diaconu

14 May 2012 | 10:47 pm

Advertise here via BSA Last week, we looked at 50 black and white logos and talked about the need to design logos in black and white first so that they can be reproduced in the broadest array of media. This week, we’re looking at the flip side: exuberantly colorful logos. You might not want a logo as bright as one of these, but adding some color to your finished black and white version can help a logo pop out in a design or piece of stationery, and can be useful when surrounded by other brands. Take a look at these 50 colorful logos and tell us what you think: would your personal logo…

Advertise here via BSA It’s campaign time in the US, and we all know what that means: we’re in for a circus more entertaining than Cirque du Soleil and more ridiculous than Bozo the Clown. You might even think all your news channels are redirecting to Comedy Central. One of the best examples of late is the so-called Dog-gate, in which pundits tried to sway the debate on who should run the power with the largest economy and military in the world based on Mitt Romney’s treatment of the family dog in the 80s, revolving around an incident involving a dog who couldn’t…
How to Create a Basic GIF in Photoshop CS5

Daniel Bramhall

13 May 2012 | 8:51 pm

Advertise here via BSA There are many different image file formats — PNG and JPEG and each are good for their own specific uses, but there’s a few things that make the GIF (Graphics Interchanged Format) different. GIFs tend to take up less room than similar images in other formats. But perhaps what GIFs are known for — and when used poorly, despised for — is their ability to show animations while retaining their tiny file sizes. Despite the hate that is often heaped upon GIFs a little too broadly, there are plenty of instances where an efficiently sized animation could…
Grayscale Inspiration: 50 Black & White Logos

Felix Diaconu

10 May 2012 | 11:44 pm

Advertise here via BSA One of the most commonly given pieces of advice on the topic of logo design is that you should always start the project in black and white. There are a number of reasons for this. For one, it keeps you from using color as a crutch and getting the lines and shapes perfect because there is nothing present to distract from them. Secondly, it means that in the myriad situations where your logo will be reproduced in black and white, it’ll look good because it was initially designed for that scenario. Designers can then add color to their logos, whether that’s…

Why You Can’t Afford to Be an Undercover Freelancer

Laura Spencer

14 May 2012 | 10:09 am

I love detective movies. I really do. There’s nothing more thrilling than when the detective goes undercover by blending in with the bad guys. You spend the rest of the movie holding your breathe to see whether the hero gets caught or catches the bad guys. Going undercover makes for great entertainment. Unfortunately, going undercover isn’t so great if you’re a freelancer. You see, as a freelancer, the absolute last thing you want to do is blend in with everybody else. You can’t hide your talent and succeed. In this post, I’ll discuss the importance of standing…
How Delegating Routine Tasks Can Raise Your Freelance Income

How Much Money Can You Earn as a Freelancer?

Laura Spencer

9 May 2012 | 11:58 am

“How much can you earn as a freelancer?” I’m probably asked this question more than any other question when people hear what I do for a living. It’s also a question I dread because there’s no set answer and there are certainly no guarantees. When I worked in a corporate job, I could easily give a salary range for what I did. I could even state my exact salary if I wanted to. As a freelancer, it’s not quite so simple. In this post, I’ll take a closer look at some of the very real issues behind the question of “how much can you earn as a…
Don’t Overlook these 5 Great Free Resources at Your Local Library

Laura Spencer

7 May 2012 | 9:09 am

Freelancers often overlook the resources available to them at their local library. This is a shame, because most library resources are free to library cardholders. You may remember the library as the place where you did research for your school assignments, but there’s a lot more to most libraries these days. In this post, I share a few free resources from the library that freelancers will find helpful. Most (but not all) local libraries offer these resources to local residents and/or library cardholders. Resource #1: Books and Publications It may seem obvious, but the library is a…
How to Freelance with Kids

Laura Spencer

3 May 2012 | 10:32 am

Many people are drawn to freelancing because they feel the flexible lifestyle will give them more time to spend with their kids. With summer just around the corner, many schools are about to end their school year and freelancers with school age kids will once again find their kids at home. While it’s true that freelancing work can be flexible, it can also be challenging to get work done while the kids are home. Just how challenging depends on the kids and the freelancer… But there are ways to make freelancing with kids easier. In this post, I’ll provide some easy tips for…

Isn’t it wonderful to get to a place in your business or career where you don’t have to work very hard to make a happy, healthy living? Jim Collins calls it the “sweet spot” and Martha Beck calls it “The Promise Land” in her four-square model of change. Before you get to this spot, you long for it. You work hard to make it happen. And then when you reach it, and hang out there for awhile, a funny thing happens: you get itchy to get to a new place.

I listened politely, then told her why I couldn’t run her husband’s obviously wonderful story.

Getting the Most Bang for Your Buck with Shared Office Space

Many freelancers work out of the house. But there are situations in which at least having access to office space is important: Maybe you need a place to meet with clients. Maybe you need a place where there aren’t kids demanding attention. Maybe you just need a safe place to keep gear that pets can’t get at. Sure, for many of these purposes, you can just head to your local coffee shop. But it’s worth considering office space, especially if you can get it inexpensively. Shared office space, whether we’re talking about a coworking space, a conference room you can rent, or even just a…

School is coming to an end for another year, and many students will be participating in internships for the summer. An internship can be a real win-win situation—the hirer (you) gets low cost or even free help while the intern gains valuable work experience. I did a number of internships in my college days. I’ve also managed interns in my professional days. When I worked for a small, post production company in Boston, we had an intern in our office every day of the week. They helped us with tasks such as blacking out tapes, burning DVDs and videotapes for our clients, assisted in shooting…

And if your business has a website, a blog, or operates online, then writing skills are crucial. If you’re completely confident that your writing has never, ever lost you a client, then you don’t need to worry. But if you know you’re not sure what to write in emails to clients, if you’ve ever thought your website copy might not be very great, if you’ve ever noticed your blog doesn’t get many comments or that your newsletters never really get opened much… You’re missing…
How to Get the Most Out of an Online Course or Info-Product

Agent X

4 May 2012 | 12:00 am

Did you know that roughly 20% of people might pay for a course and NEVER sign in? That’s what happened to Jon Morrow with his Guest Blogging course. Roughly 2 out of 10 students paid $500 for his course and then flushed the money down the toilet by never showing up to it. If you’re going to spend that kind of money, you should do everything you can to get the most value possible. So to help you dramatically increase the value you get from an online course, here are several best practice suggestions: 1. Go Through ALL the Course Content It never ceases to amaze me at how many people…

The Truth: Why Trading Time For Money is the Best Way to Make More Money

Danny Iny

25 Apr 2012 | 10:44 am

Do you want to stop trading time for money? Yep — you, and everybody else. Thanks to the Tim Ferriss and his band of passive income pursuers, “not trading time for money” has become the rallying cry of people who are stuck in a job that they don’t like, and want to create the freedom to quit and do something different. They say it with pride, confident that they are making the smart, strategic choice that their corporate colleagues don’t have the guts or foresight to make. But most of the time, they go about it all wrong. Most of them never see a dime, and years after they’ve…

Thunder Smash Lakers in Game 1

Kori Ellis

15 May 2012 | 1:48 am

The Oklahoma City Thunder versus the Los Angeles Lakers is the series everyone has been waiting for in the Western Conference. However, despite the hype, Game 1 turned out to be a laugher. The Thunder got up early and then destroyed the Lakers by a final score of 119-90. Russell Westbrook was the player of the game, scoring 27 points, dishing out nine assists and puling down seven rebounds in only 27 minutes of play. He hit 10-of-15 shots from the field and only turned the ball over once. The big run by the Thunder happened in the third quarter. With OKC already up by 15 points at the half,…
Chris Bosh Injury Update – Ab Strain

Stephen Kersey

14 May 2012 | 7:52 pm

The Miami Heat are the favorites to win the NBA championship. However, their chances took a hit when Chris Bosh got injured in Game 1 of the Heat’s series against the Indiana Pacers. Although the Heat were able to win the game, they have lost Bosh to an abdominal strain. While the team hasn’t given a specific timetable yet, they are saying that Bosh is out indefinitely. If you read between the lines, it sounds like Bosh will miss the rest of this series against the Pacers. “This season has to be extended for me to play again,” said Bosh. “That’s…
Kobe Drops 43, Lakers Still Lose

The Los Angeles Lakers were attempting to eliminate the Denver Nuggets in Game 5. However, despite 43 points from Kobe Bryant, the Nuggets were able to survive by beating the Lakers by a final score of 102-99. Denver was led by Andre Miller and JaVale McGee, who both came off the bench. Miller had 24 points and eight assists on 8-for-11 shooting from the field. McGee added 21 points, 14 rebounds and two blocked shots on 9-for-12 shooting. Bryant added six rebounds, five assists and two steals to go along with his 43 points. He shot 14-of-32 from the field and played 43 minutes. Even with the…
Josh Hamilton Hits Four Homers

Kori Ellis

9 May 2012 | 9:25 am

For only the 16th time in baseball history, a player has hit four home runs in one game. That player was Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers, who did it Tuesday night against the Baltimore Orioles. All four of Hamilton’s homers were two-run shots. Said Hamilton after the game: “Obviously it’s, other than being in the World Series, the highlight of my big-league career.” Hamilton’s home runs came in the first inning, third inning, seventh inning and eighth inning. He also added a double in the fourth inning. For the game, Hamilton was 5-for-5 with four runs and…
Video: Rajon Rondo Cameraman Fight

Stephen Kersey

8 May 2012 | 10:25 pm

Rajon Rondo and a cameraman got into an altercation after Tuesday night’s game between the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks. Apparently Rajon Rondo didn’t want to be on camera and went to the cameraman and told him to his face. You can watch the Rajon Rondo cameraman video below to see how it unfolded. The Celtics ended up losing to the Hawks, with Rondo failing to come through on the final play. The Hawks were up one and Rondo couldn’t get a good look for himself or a teammate and the Celtics were defeated. I’m assuming that’s part of the reason why Rajon Rondo…

The One Thing that Stops Me from Writing

Monica Valentinelli

15 May 2012 | 8:40 am

Yesterday I wrote a post about where writer’s insecurity comes from. It’s only fitting that today I follow up with why I don’t write. In a word: b.s. Seriously. When I slow down, and there are gaps where the b.s. can slide right in, that wedges into my fingers and prevents me from writing. Where does the b.s. come from? Publishing is a glorious business. A frustrating vertical. An industry full of unknowns, rollercoaster rides, and periods of stagnation. This uncertainty causes normally sweet and wonderful people to do very, very strange things. Sometimes those are…
Where Author Insecurity Comes From

Monica Valentinelli

Yesterday, I came across a New York Times article talking about how Writer’s Cramp: In the E-Reader Era, a Book a Year Is Slacking. I do think the article is worth a read, but only if you are thinking about how you want to build or alter your career. If not? If you’re solid? Articles like these, my fellow authors, this is where insecurity comes from. One of the hugest culprits (or triggers if you will) that causes new writers to STOP writing or SWITCH gears is getting hung up on the state of the publishing industry. The thing is, articles like this have been around for as long as the…

Q&A: How Alana Mautone blogged every day for a year (and more)

Alana Mautone Think blogging 31 days straight is hard? As of the first week in May, Alana Mautone has posted 373 days in a row – and is still at it. Her blog is Ramblin’ with AM, and on it she writes about “upstate NY, flood recovery, gardening, wildflowers, the Civil War, FarmVille, sustainable agriculture, chocolate, the universe, and everything in between.” Mautone was inspired to blog every day by the 2011 WordCount Blogathon, and afterward it was over, just kept going. I did an email interview with Mautone recently to find out how she keeps blogging, when she…

Reading list for May 11: 5 favorite books by Maurice Sendak

Michelle V. Rafter

To do great writing, read great writing. Here’s the great writing I’ve been reading this week: Maurice Sendak died this week at 83. The children’s book author and illustrator dared to be different: he depicted childhood as it was – fun but scary, at times adventurous and tedious. Fighting with your siblings and making up afterwards. Daydreams and nightmares. For writers, inspiration comes in many forms. This week, mine came from Sendak, who I grew up reading, and whose books I lovingly shared with my own children. Here are five of my favorites: In the Night Kitchen…

So You Think You’re a Writer?

9 May 2012 | 7:30 am

I have a confession. Sometimes, when I meet people for the first time, and I am asked what I do for a living, I hesitate. I know what I do, but there are moments when I don’t feel like using the word “write” and its derivatives. I still cannot pinpoint the reason, but the next time it happens, I shall certainly think about it again. Has that happened to any of you?

How To Achieve Full-Time Success with Part-Time Hours

Steph Auteri

8 May 2012 | 9:30 am

Forget grad school. As most of you know, I’m a huge proponent of learning by doing. Of course, before I do anything, I also typically read a shit-ton of books. (All of the education at a fraction of the cost!) Back in 2007, it was Michelle Goodman’s The Anti 9-to-5 Guide that got me up and running as a full-time freelancer. Later on, I read My So-Called Freelance Life (also by Goodman) and wished I’d had it from the very beginning. Last week, I speed-read Kelly James-Enger’s Writer for Hire: 101 Secrets to Freelance Success and realized it was the book I should have…
Spill It: Are You a Terrible Self-Starter?

Last week, I headed over to my local library to sit in on a meeting of the Toastmasters Club. When we went around the room to introduce ourselves, I admitted that I was on a panel at a major conference that coming weekend, that public speaking terrified me, and that I was hoping to pick up some pointers. So when it came time for impromptu, two-minute presentations, the master of ceremonies (the Toast Master?) asked me to take the first shot and talk about the presentation I was preparing for. Fantastic. I got up there and babbled incoherently for just under two minutes about ASJA, sex…
Top-Notch Marketing Tool: The Panel

Steph Auteri

1 May 2012 | 9:16 am

This past weekend, I attended the ASJA 2012 Writers Conference, which I had been freaking out about for months. I was invited to speak on a panel about sex writing and, not only did the prospect of speaking to a crowd of professional journalists and authors intimidate me, but I felt self-conscious about the fact that I was the only panelist without a book. (It didn’t feel right to count the ebook I’d co-authored the other year.) I worried: Would attendees think I wasn’t accomplished enough to give them advice? Would they roll their eyes as I hid behind my notes and stuttered…

Almost two weeks ago, I was on the phone with a reporter from a national magazine, talking about solopreneurship and personal branding. We were having a lovely chat — though I felt like a bit of a spaz; that’s why I’m a writer, you guys — when he asked me about my income. “I make about $30k a year,” I told him. “You can live on that!?” he asked. I mentioned that I was lucky enough to have a husband who made way more money than me, so that I could create a life in which I only worked part-time hours. I told him I was building a career in which I…
How To Make Your Marketing Plan as Much Fun as a Glitter Hula Hoop Dance Party

Steph Auteri

12 Apr 2012 | 5:21 pm

It’s no secret that publishing houses’ promotional budgets have shrunk, making it necessary for authors to act as their own publicists. Hell, when I was a mid-level marketer for an academic publisher five years ago, I was often frustrated by the limitations placed upon me when it came to promoting my authors. What I was able to do then is very similar to what most publishers are limited to now: sending out review copies and press kits to a select group of media outlets writing copy for forthcoming catalogs if the timing was right, sending copies of the book to BEA, or to relevant…

5 Big Reasons Why You Want to be a Freelance Writer

Guest

15 May 2012 | 7:00 am

By: Kari Jenkins Have you ever dreamed of waking up on a Monday morning full of sun glitter, stretching into a sprightly grin that even makes your cat look grumpy, and boomeranging out of bed with the fervent amusement left to three-year-olds on Pop Rocks? I know, it seems like a distant reverie that you could ever be that…happy. Instead, how did your Monday morning play out? Was it damp and dark when you limped out of bed? Did you ransack the bottom of your closet for a tangled piece of clothing to stumble into while sponging fleshy cereal down your throat with kamikaze shots of coffee?
Are Cold Calling Misconceptions Holding you Back?

There are many misconceptions surrounding cold calling, from the effectiveness to the best techniques and more.

It Never Works Let me be the first one to tell you that this is a lie. Simply put, cold calling can help you drum up new business. Are you going to make a sale every time you pick up the phone?

I Write Like…Me?

Rebecca Garland

I recently came across a fun writing toy and I’ve just spent the last hour playing around on it. It’s not earth-shattering, nor is it going to change the world, but it does illustrate a point rather nicely. Your voice is a secret writing weapon, so use it. Here’s the toy: http://iwl.me/ “I Write Like” is a website where you essentially paste a chunk of your writing, click the button and see what famous writer you’re most like according to text patterns. So far, after a few test runs, I apparently write like some sort of hybrid between Stephen King and Cory Doctorow. I’m rather…
Applying For Your First Writing Gig: What to Include

Guest

9 May 2012 | 7:00 am

By: Shadab Mahbub When you are starting your freelance writing career, finding new clients always seems like a daunting task. How does a writer find new potential clients and how do we approach them once we do? Do we send them an e-mail or do we call them? Do we attach our CV’s or do we just concentrate on sending our best samples? I was always confused as to how to approach a potential client and the kind of language I should address them in. Do I be outright professional or should I be a bit informal and emphasize on the kind of person that I really am? It is extremely frustrating when…

Why I Throw Epic-Level Shindigs

thursday

14 May 2012 | 3:02 pm

This weekend, I roasted a lamb in my backyard. I bought a keg. I invited a ton of friends — and told them to bring their friends, too. It was an epic-level shindig. We’re not precisely sure how many people wandered through over the course of the day, but we think attendance hit at least fifty. My husband and I, with the amazing help of a few friends (shoutout to Amy Monteith and her husband — Amy can, in fact, cook anything and none of this would ever happen without the two of them), throw this sort of shindig three times a year. We love having all of our friends over and just hanging…
Why Custom Samples are Bad For Business

As a writer who regularly creates web content, I’ve gotten asked to provide custom-written samples for clients more often than I can count. It irritates the living hell out of me every time I get the question. It’s incredibly bad for my business to offer to write a five-hundred word blog post for someone to judge my potential to work with them. What’s more is that custom samples are bad for clients, too.

Review: What the Plus

thursday

12 Apr 2012 | 8:00 am

Guy Kawasaki starts out What the Plus (his new ebook) with what may be a crucial question: is Google+ the next Facebook or the next MySpace?

How I Expect My Money Outlooks to Change

thursday

9 Mar 2012 | 7:30 am

In writing about money this week, I’ve created a snapshot of my views right now. They do very well for me — I have a thriving business and I consider myself financially comfortable. But that’s today. I expect my views to change. My husband and I don’t have kids yet; when we do, we’re certainly going to make different decisions. I’m young enough to still believe that I’m going to live forever and never get arthritis (though, as of next week, I’ll officially enter my late twenties). The bottom line is that my outlook on money will have to change. I have some expectations about…
Buy and Hold: The Strategy that Works for Me in All Things

thursday

7 Mar 2012 | 7:30 am

I have one strategy when it comes to saving and investing. I buy and hold. I choose stocks with the intention of holding them as long as possible. This in particular makes my husband give me funny things — I think he wants to code up some sort of fancy algorithm that will optimize our investment strategy. This strategy is how I handle my business, too. I’m constantly writing up new business plans for the ideas that pop into my head. None of my business plans have exit strategies, though. The closest I come is writing out how to systemize a business idea so that I can hand off most of the…

Monday Answers 5: How long should I wait for an editor?

15 May 2012 | 9:46 pm

Molly: Q: OK, I’m tweeps with some editors … do I contact them and say “Hey, I sent you a pitch…” or is that a version of e-stalking? Nancy: Q: How typical is it to get no response to pitches? Even after follow-up email? Has the culture and atmosphere changed that much? It’s very disheartening to hear nothing, nothing at all, to a thoughtful pitch. A: How about this: Give them five days. Five business days. Then you can rightly assume they don’t want the story or don’t like the idea. Or that they only check email bi-monthly. In which case, they are not a…
Monday Answers 4: What to wear to a meeting

Walt Kania

15 May 2012 | 11:00 am

Melinda: Q: How should you dress for a first onsite meeting with a prospective client? Should you go super professional and wear a business suit like for a job interview? Or something swankier like for a business luncheon? A: Neither. Go more casual. They will think you more competent, more capable than if you showed up wearing some crisp business suit. You are, of course, impeccably groomed. You are cleverly put together and freshly ironed and shiny clean. But you are casual. A tad distinctive, or irreverent even. A notch down in formality from the ‘business person’ look.
Handling the first contact, the first call. Without blowing it.

Walt Kania

13 May 2012 | 12:08 pm

First, try not to talk so much. Mostly, you listen. Let the client speak. Do that, and you will ace this. Because right now, we don’t know much about the client and what they want, so what would we blather about anyway? Ourselves? Please, no. (I got this wrong for ages.) I don’t want to constrict you, but this first contact is a big deal. It’s where the price negotiation begins, even when we don’t mention money at all. It’s where the client senses who you are, and how it would be to work with you. It’s also where you get to decide if you want to join the…

Ask all day Friday. (If it is no longer Friday where you are, ask anyway.) Get the answers Monday, with the usual Freelancery viewpoint. If I don’t have an answer, I’ll find one, or fake one.

How to Reward Referrals

Alexis

2 May 2012 | 2:17 pm

One of the best sources of clients is referrals. Prospects who’ve been referred to me by clients often hire me with almost no hesitation. That’s because they’ve already been “presold” by the referrer. I like to fuel referrals by rewarding those who send them my way. I know my clients and friends send me referrals, not so much because of these “rewards,” but I like to give them anyway. In fact, the usual reaction I get is, “You didn’t have to!” “Oh but I do!” I respond. I do, because I like to show my appreciation to…

Have you ever prepared a proposal for a prospect and, in your heart, you know he or she can’t afford your services? What do you do then? Do you put your proposal together haphazardly, knowing it won’t lead to a paying project anyway? Or do you jump at the first opportunity to give the prospect discounts? Or do you ignore the prospect and not submit a proposal at all? Don’t Sell Yourself Short In the past, I have been guilty of offering discounts even when none was requested. I’d say something like, “My regular fee is $$$, but since you were referred by Awesome…
Do Freelancers Have More Fun?

Alexis

28 Feb 2012 | 1:17 pm

Life’s too short to do work you don’t enjoy. So, freelancer, let me ask you: Are you having fun? I know, work is serious stuff, even for freelancers. We have to feed, clothe, and shelter our families. Or at the very least, make next month’s rent. It’s not my intention to minimize the importance of what we call work. But even then, it doesn’t hurt to keep our work joyful. I dare say, it’s necessary for our sanity, peace of mind, and success. Freelancing is lonely. It can get stressful. Freelancing is no game. It doesn’t have to be dreary, either.

Freelancers are constantly on the look-out for new clients. But one thing we often overlook are opportunities in telecommuting. Telecommuting, strictly speaking, is not the same as freelancing. Telecommuters are employees but are able to perform their work at home, or anywhere else. Sometimes, telecommuters need to report to the office for meetings. Other times, not at all. More and more companies are using telecommuting arrangements to save money otherwise spent on office maintenance, employ talent from out of town, and enjoy the other advantages that telecommuting offers.

My Niche Journey Sometime last year, I became restless and wanted to focus on working with a specific type of business and industry only. Since then, I’ve had a few false starts… and made a little progress. By false starts, I mean I thought I had identified the perfect niche for me. I even registered a domain name so I…

Six Reasons Why Your Client Left You for Another Freelancer

Perhaps, it’s not about you.. and no matter how hard you try to figure things out, it’s out of your control. I’ve often read many questions from new and seasoned freelancers on why their prospects bail out before even signing that contract. After a very long conversation, of taking down notes and negotiation, your buyer had a change of mind. Suddenly, this client is no longer interested in what you have to say. For those who got rejected on the spot, they can move on to bid on other freelancing gigs. But for those who left us in dead air guessing, we can only…

Recently, I came across a post by Jessica Stillman on the subject of stealth freelancers. The number of independent workers is rising, no doubt, but there’s a fog surrounding the self-employed these days and statistics might not really tell the full story. What’s intriguing is that 66% of freelancers hold full-time jobs and most don’t want to reveal the truth that they’re freelancing. But, for the rest of us who are planning to make a career shift and jump into the world of freelancing, we’re left with two options: To freelance full-time or part-time. …

Google Is Not A Charity

One of the problems with any “free” service is the fact that people tend to forget how much it really costs to maintain. Google is no exception. In my opinion, it’s about time SEOs started thinking about Google like a business. At heart, Google is a company that runs a search engine. In the past few years, they’ve made this painfully obvious and shown the world that they don’t mind upsetting the entire inbound marketing community if they need to make a business decision (hello, blocking all logged in referral keywords). If you understand this simple fact, then…

People went gaga and thrilled about watching this movie. What made the movie so exciting is to see these famed Marvel heroes enter the screens from different movies or stories merged together in one to save planet Earth. Aside from this, the effects, the actors and the whole production, wonder why many had booked movie tickets weeks before the premiere showing day? It was marketing—incredible…

Creative Ways to Play on the Farm

My kids are little inventors. They have toys, but, unless they are open-ended (LEGOS, for example), they won't give most toys their attention. They are builders, too; a scrap wood pile, some hammer, and nails will keep them busy for weeks -- not just days. They also love adventure; give them some non-functioning lawn tractor or even a steel barrel... well, you get the picture: I already know that this summer will be a blast, if not also dirty and full of calls for band aids.

Today, I attempted a countrified version of the Italian Crochette di patate (see an excellent recipe for that at Scordo.com) that we lovingly call "Potato Balls." Our version, of course, had some major variations, but the family LOVED these. To start, use a thin-skinned, scrubbed potato, so you don't have to peel them. You can choose to bake them, or for a quick cheat, boil them…

How to Break Into a New Freelancing Niche

Alexis

10 Jan 2012 | 9:44 am

I’ve been feeling like a rookie freelancer all over again. It’s because I decided to get into a different freelancing niche. Let me tell you, it’s been difficult, slow going, exciting, unnerving, energizing and mind boggling all at the same time. My Niche Journey Sometime last year, I became restless and wanted to focus on working with a specific type of business and industry only. Since then, I’ve had a few false starts… and made a little progress. By false starts, I mean I thought I had identified the perfect niche for me. I even registered a domain name so I…

We're hiring: Help us significantly improve conversion and retention

Jason F.

14 May 2012 | 12:18 pm

We’re looking for another teammate. This time we’re looking for someone who is completely focused on improving conversion and retention. You love moving the needle, one small step at a time. This job is all about seeing untapped potential. Conversion could be financial (get more people to start a trial or complete it – what we consider a “sale”), or outcome-based (inspire people to create more Basecamp projects by showing them creative ways to use Basecamp they never thought of before). Or something else. Retention could be reducing cancellations, or reducing…
Taking the Pain Out of MySQL Schema Changes

John

14 May 2012 | 8:53 am

A common obstacle we face when releasing new features is making production schema changes in MySQL. Many new features require additional columns or indexes. Running an “ALTER TABLE” in MySQL to add the needed columns and indexes locks the table, hanging the application. We need a better solution. Option 1: Schema Change in Downtime This is the simplest option. Put the application into downtime and perform the schema change. It requires us to have the application down for the duration of the “ALTER TABLE”. We’ve successfully used this option for smaller tables…

We have customers around the world doing extraordinary things with our software, but Ben Saunders is taking it to a whole new level. Ben and his team are using Basecamp to organize an expedition to the South Pole and back, unsupported and on foot.

Ben has been a professional polar explorer for more than 10 years and is one of only three people to complete a solo journey to the North Pole. He will be joined by Alastair Humphreys, who has cycled 46,000 miles around the world,…
Sortfolio: Going once, going twice...

Jason F.

7 May 2012 | 5:19 pm

A year ago we put Sortfolio up for sale. We entertained a variety of offers, met with a few potential suitors in person, and negotiated numbers. Ultimately nothing came together. Then we shelved the process so we could focus all of our efforts on designing and building the new Basecamp. Sortfolio continued to run itself for another year, generating over $200,000 in profit for us during that time. Our paying customer count continues to hover consistently in the 170s, each paying $99/month to be listed as a premium member. The price We’ve put Sortfolio on the clock: We either sell it by…

Why You Can’t Afford to Be an Undercover Freelancer

Laura Spencer

14 May 2012 | 10:09 am

I love detective movies. I really do. There’s nothing more thrilling than when the detective goes undercover by blending in with the bad guys. You spend the rest of the movie holding your breathe to see whether the hero gets caught or catches the bad guys. Going undercover makes for great entertainment. Unfortunately, going undercover isn’t so great if you’re a freelancer. You see, as a freelancer, the absolute last thing you want to do is blend in with everybody else. You can’t hide your talent and succeed. In this post, I’ll discuss the importance of standing…
How Delegating Routine Tasks Can Raise Your Freelance Income

In this post, I’ll share a surprising technique to help you earn more freelance income–delegating your routine tasks. When to Delegate We freelancers are an independent breed.

How Much Money Can You Earn as a Freelancer?

Laura Spencer

9 May 2012 | 11:58 am

“How much can you earn as a freelancer?” I’m probably asked this question more than any other question when people hear what I do for a living. It’s also a question I dread because there’s no set answer and there are certainly no guarantees. When I worked in a corporate job, I could easily give a salary range for what I did. I could even state my exact salary if I wanted to. As a freelancer, it’s not quite so simple. In this post, I’ll take a closer look at some of the very real issues behind the question of “how much can you earn as a…
Don’t Overlook these 5 Great Free Resources at Your Local Library

Laura Spencer

7 May 2012 | 9:09 am

Freelancers often overlook the resources available to them at their local library. This is a shame, because most library resources are free to library cardholders. You may remember the library as the place where you did research for your school assignments, but there’s a lot more to most libraries these days. In this post, I share a few free resources from the library that freelancers will find helpful. Most (but not all) local libraries offer these resources to local residents and/or library cardholders.

How to Freelance with Kids

3 May 2012 | 10:32 am

Many people are drawn to freelancing because they feel the flexible lifestyle will give them more time to spend with their kids. With summer just around the corner, many schools are about to end their school year and freelancers with school age kids will once again find their kids at home. While it’s true that freelancing work can be flexible, it can also be challenging to get work done while the kids are home. Just how challenging depends on the kids and the freelancer… But there are ways to make freelancing with kids easier. In this post, I’ll provide some easy tips for…

I got a telephone call today at the office from the wife of a certified public accountant. She was pitching me on a story that her husband had just written about the benefits of creating an LLC versus an S-Corp. I listened politely, then told her why I couldn’t run her husband’s obviously wonderful story. I can’t tell you the number of times I get pitches that we would never publish—not because it’s a bad idea but because it just doesn’t fit in the pattern we have already created.

Getting the Most Bang for Your Buck with Shared Office Space

FreelanceSwitch.com

15 May 2012 | 9:00 am

Many freelancers work out of the house. But there are situations in which at least having access to office space is important: Maybe you need a place to meet with clients. Maybe you need a place where there aren’t kids demanding attention. Maybe you just need a safe place to keep gear that pets can’t get at. Sure, for many of these purposes, you can just head to your local coffee shop. But it’s worth considering office space, especially if you can get it inexpensively. Shared office space, whether we’re talking about a coworking space, a conference room you can rent, or even just a…
5 Principles to Better Networking for Freelancers

15 May 2012 | 7:00 am

Networking is more than just attending events and swapping business cards. Freelancers, in particular, can find fellow collaborators, future partners, prospective clients, and a tribe of fellow freelancers when they network. Networking is about building relationships and like all relationships it takes trust and personal contact built over time. 1. Do a head check first and look inward. The first relationship to consider before you jump into networking is the one you have with yourself. Can you deliver commitments and handle setbacks in a professional way? Do you recover quickly when things…
How to Legally Work With an Intern

School is coming to an end for another year, and many students will be participating in internships for the summer. An internship can be a real win-win situation—the hirer (you) gets low cost or even free help while the intern gains valuable work experience. I did a number of internships in my college days. I’ve also managed interns in my professional days. When I worked for a small, post production company in Boston, we had an intern in our office every day of the week. They helped us with tasks such as blacking out tapes, burning DVDs and videotapes for our clients, assisted in shooting…

10 Reasons Why I Am Going Back To The WordPress Comments System

Tom Ewer

For those of you who read my rather recent post entitled 10 Reasons I Have Switched To Livefyre, you might consider me rather impulsive. But the fact of the matter is, after having considered my options, I honestly believe that the standard WordPress comments system is the best solution for my blog. There is no doubting the quality of what Livefyre has to offer. And their customer service is astonishing (almost good enough to make me keep using their system as a matter of principle). But it just doesn’t quite click with me. I am going to start this post by addressing each of the 10…

It’s rather frightening how quickly things are moving for me, but I must say that I am extremely happy with how the year has panned out to date. My original plans have essentially gone out of the window, but I am getting used to that now. I have to remind myself that back in July of last year, I planned to quit my job at the end of this month by building a full time income with my…

Who says people don’t change? Although I couldn’t tell you the exact date, around 12 months ago something huge happened in my life. It was so big that no one saw it. It took place very quietly – in my head. It was around 12 months ago that I decided I was going to quit my job. I had absolutely no idea how I was going to do it. And to be honest, for many months there was a voice in my head that told me it was a complete pipe dream. But no quantity of self-doubt could reset the mental switch that had been flicked in my head. It was like my mind would adjust to the new plan in…

My attacker was then shepherded away by Gerit, the German foreign exchange student. We used to call him “Gerit the woman beater”, or words to that effect (we were very mature). So it was rather ironic that he decided to protect her (as if I was going to retaliate). Just to clarify, I was 17 at the time.

IR35 Forum snafu: Kate Cottrell responds to the PCG

Following the disastrous launch of the IR35 Business Entity Tests last week the tension amongst members of the IR35 Forum, the group established to steer ongoing IR35 reforms, has been palpable. This was brought to a head on Friday when the PCG issued a statement condemning fellow Forum participant Kate Cottrell of Bauer & Cottrell, claiming her commentary on events was “ill-informed and ultimately misleading”.

Last week’s launch of HMRC’s long-anticipated IR35 Business Entity Tests drew plenty of derision from contractor bodies and the self-employed alike. Following a leak of draft questions the PCG and other industry groups publicly distanced themselves from the tests, citing a disagreement with HMRC on how the scoring of the twelve questions should be weighted. Many freelancer and contractors agreed with the PCG’s assessment, and the criticism of the Business Entity Tests since their unveiling last Tuesday has been almost universal.

Before the AWR’s implementation in October 2011 there were predictions of 500,000 contracts being wiped out, however anecdotal evidence has suggested that the impact on the UK’s freelancers and contractors has been negligible.

The results of the Business Entity Tests will then be used to decide how likely you will be to undergo an IR35 investigation (obviously, those in the “high risk” category will be more likely). There are twelve tests in total, each carrying points ranging from a disheartening -15 to a massive 35. If you score over 20 in total, you will…

What Came First, the Medium or the Message?

I recently met with a documentary photographer and had a long discussion about a project she is developing. While trying to figure out how to convey a specific aspect through images, we started talking about what other media could better bring the ideas across. This is something I’ve been thinking about more and more in regards to my own work, and often comes up in conversations with other artists. Why photography? Why video? Why painting? Why whatever? What comes first, the medium or the message? I feel that for the majority of artists – and perhaps this is more true for younger…
