What coworking can teach corporate offices
Collaboration27 Jan 2012 | 8:03 amIf you’re going to Austin this year for SXSW and you’re a fan of coworking, you might want to arrive a few days early to hit the Global Coworking Unconference Conference (formerly known as the Coworking Unconference) being held in the city on March 8.

Is Your Writing Career Missing This Single Most Crucial Element?
Write to Done26 Jan 2012 | 6:10 amA guest post by Josh Sarz of Sagoyism I read a story a while back about a farmer who was sowing seeds by hand. He would bring his pouch of seeds, go out and start sowing. The farmer threw the seeds everywhere. At first, one would think that he is losing so much because he throws handfuls of seeds on the ground. To the extremely hungry, those seeds could make a decent meal. Why would he be throwing them away like that? But when you look at the big picture, the farmer really does lose handfuls of seeds, but in time he gains bounties more. I was reminded of this story when I was out fishing with…

Funny English Signs - Courtesy of Typos, "Honest" Mistakes, and Careless Usage
24 Jan 2012 | 6:30 amWe all make mistakes. There really is nothing wrong with that as long as we can take constructive feedback. A little sense of humor and the ability to laugh at ourselves make everything better. Understandably, we might find it easier to chuckle when the mistake is not ours! Still, that does not mean that we should not make it a point to be open to admitting our mistakes and making sure they are corrected. All this talk about mistakes stems from the topic of today’s grammar post. I think it’s about time we have a little fun, and take a look at some funny English signs again. While… -

Writers: How to Avoid Stagnation
20 Jan 2012 | 6:10 amA Guest Post by Meredith Resnick of The Writer’s [Inner] Journey When my kids were in middle school they got a lot of make-work for homework and classwork, stuff that kept them very busy but that steered them away from real creativity and by proxy, real learning. This make-work gave the illusion that students were busy and oh so productive. Wrong. What they were really doing was chasing their tail—in other words: stagnating. Being busy, compulsively busy even with journaling and writing and revising does not always spell productivity. As far as I’m concerned it’s a form of… -
Writers – Have You Developed THIS Skill?
17 Jan 2012 | 4:52 amBy Mary Jaksch, Chief Editor of Write to Done These days, if you want to make it as a writer, you need to do more than just write well. It used to be enough, but … Before we all went digital, every writer’s dream was to be discovered by a publishing house. The publisher would then take care of editing, production, publicity, public relations, distribution – in fact, nearly everything, apart from the act of writing. Now, aspiring writers are free to publicize their stuff on blogs, in digital magazines, or in eBooks. They can control when and how their material is published,… -
The Pros and Cons of Comparing Yourself to Other Writers
13 Jan 2012 | 6:09 amA guest post by K.M. Weiland of Wordplay: Helping Writers Become Authors With the advent of writing communities on such networking sites as Twitter and Facebook and half a thousand forums and Nings, writers are perhaps more social and less solitary than at any time in our history. This brings its fair share of both benefits and drawbacks, since our easy access to other writers—both those who are striving to be published and those who have a dozen bestsellers under their belts—causes inevitable comparisons. Are we as good as they are? Are they as good as we are? Let’s explore what we can…

10 Designs Inspired by Microsoft’s Metro UI
25 Jan 2012 | 7:09 pmAdvertise here via BSA Since Microsoft first unveiled the Metro UI on Windows Phone 7, the rollout has been gradually taking place across every Microsoft product and website. It is the cornerstone of the Windows 8 interface and one of the most notable official uses of Metro UI available now is the excellent implementation on the Xbox 360 dashboard. The new design language has been a refreshing sign that Redmond cares about fixing its messy, bloated and ageing image, and the company is following through and executing. In the process, Metro has picked up a lot of fans in the design… -
Timeless Design, Ferrari
25 Jan 2012 | 12:10 pmAdvertise here via BSA To begin with what I hope will end up being a mindful, thought-provoking article on the essence of timelessness in design, I felt it only fitting to start with what gave birth to this idea. As a designer and all around technology consultant, it’s my job to stay up-to-date with current trends and product offerings, which by its very nature is contradictory to the idea of timelessness. I’ve been grappling with this concept for over two years now. A lot of you that follow me on Twitter know that I’m an absolute nut about cars. Up until about 24 months ago my passion… -

Shape, Color, Content – The Language of Logos
9 Jan 2012 | 7:00 amAdvertise here via BSA Before you approve that new logo you’re considering, stop for a moment to consider how people perceive visual information. The content of your logo is third in the sequence of recognition, behind shape and color, because the brain takes more time to process language. Letterforms can be very powerful in creating content and meaning. The use of initials as an identifying mark has been around for centuries, since medieval kingdoms became economic enterprises. Letterforms are often abstracted to create clever symbols which act as metaphor for the core brand positioning. -

Making Mondays Work for You

And does every thing seem to go wrong on this day? The Monday blues are common. In fact, a study by the firm Mercer found that 35% of all sick leave is taken on a Monday. In another study, more than 25% of people surveyed said the thought of going back to work on Monday morning was enough to ruin their weekend. These studies were done among employees, and you’re a freelancer. But I’ll bet if you could take Mondays off, you… -
How to Set Personal Boundaries When You Work From Home
20 Jan 2012 | 10:41 amDo you crave a balance between your work and your personal life? Most freelancers do, but the challenges of working from home can sometimes make life/work balance seem unattainable. You may feel like you are constantly being pulled towards both family and work commitments–a bit like being in the middle of a tug-of-war. One answer that can help you achieve better balance between your work and personal life is boundaries. In this post, I’ll explain how boundaries help freelancers.

How to Find and Apply Vision to Your Freelancing Business
18 Jan 2012 | 10:49 amFortune 500 companies, non-profits and other “serious” businesses have them. Should your freelancing business have one too? A vision, that is. A vision is simply a statement (several paragraphs, actually) of where you’d like your business to be in the next x number of years. Apparently, a vision is really good for any business, including yours. The Benefits of Having a Vision A vision helps you plan ahead. It provides a compass with which you can direct your freelancing business. Without a vision, you wouldn’t have anything to guide you in making decisions. Outside…

Does Facebook Timeline Make Sense For You?
27 Jan 2012 | 9:00 amI have yet to adopt the new Facebook Timeline interface. I don’t want to. I’m comfortable with using Facebook the way it is, thank-you-very-much. When I found this post on mashable about how to revert back to Facebook classic, I knew I wasn’t alone in wishing some things would just stay the same. I know I probably sound like a curmudgeon to you, but honestly, when things I use on a constant basis—like Facebook—go through an “upgrade” it’s all I can do to not pout. They say they are making their product more user friendly, but all change has a learning curve. I’m a busy… -

Nope, independent work isn’t behind rising inequality, says expert
26 Jan 2012 | 8:00 amLast week we highlighted a piece in Canadian magazine Maclean’s that explored the question of whether the rise of independent work was contributing to rising income inequality. And while I argued that it was pretty hard to see how independent work rather than government policy and the globalization of the evolution of tech was the root cause of increasing inequality, the post closed by pondering whether the growing number of independent workers was in some way contributing to the widening gap between the haves and have-nots once the process was under way.

More than fodder for headhunters, public org charts have become increasingly useful as more of our work is done in tight connection with associates outside of our organizations. And it can’t hurt to know who’s in charge of what while working on a personal job search. WikiOrgCharts CEO Farhan… -

How Achieving Your Goals Kills Your Motivation
19 Jan 2012 | 12:00 amHeard you need constant improvement to become a master? Heard you need those 10,000 hours of practice? It’s hogwash. A goal of ‘constant improvement’ won’t lead to success. I learned this when I signed up for Damn Fine Words, James Chartrand’s writing course. Signing up excited me. I was excited because I was taking action towards my goal of ‘constant skill improvement’ so I could further build my business. The first half of the course taught me a lot. This was the most valuable part – a complete writing system, an approach that could be used to take any… -

Do You Have Useless Website Content?

Your website content most likely repeats several sentences throughout your site. Worse, it might even repeat sentences on the same page. Your customer only needs to be told once that you’re a green company, or a hot copywriter, or that you specialize in lawyer-oriented websites. Every word should contribute to convincing your client and telling him something new. Otherwise, you risk frustrating your reader. You don’t want to bore him… -

The Simple Blueprint to Getting Started (Plus, 7 Ways to Consistently Make Good Choices)
24 Jan 2012 | 1:06 pmThere is a way for you to earn more money without working too hard or getting incredibly lucky. Would you like to know what it is? It can be summed up in three simple words: be more consistent. How do you do that? Keep reading and I’ll tell you. How to be more consistent The secret to earning money is not luck or intelligence or creativity — it’s consistency. The people who are the most successful are the most consistent.

How to Make $30,000 in 30 Days (And Why You Don’t Need a Unique Idea to Make Good Money)
12 Dec 2011 | 6:35 amHere’s a quick question for you… What’s a huge obstacle that prevents most people from earning more money? The answer… Coming up with a good idea. We often never start projects that could make us money because we want a “perfect” idea. We think that our idea needs to be unique. Or we think that our idea can’t be any good because someone else has already done it. Don’t get me wrong, it can be hard to think of an idea that will make more money. But if you think that your idea needs to be new or unique, I’m going to prove that mindset completely… -
Are You Giving Your Best Effort or Your Best Excuse?
30 Nov 2011 | 9:39 amI know what prevents most people from achieving the success they want. But before I tell you, I want you to do one thing right now. Don’t worry. Nobody around you knows that you’re reading this. You don’t have to worry about “measuring up” to someone’s expectations. This is just between you and your mind. All I want you to do is be honest with yourself — truly honest — and answer this question: “Am I giving my best effort?” Your best. Not good. Not even great. But the absolute best that you can do. I’ll be honest with you. Most… -
8 Ways to Make Money With a Blog (And the Major Mistake You Should Avoid)
22 Nov 2011 | 10:09 amFiguring out how to make money with a blog is hard. There are a few reasons for that. The first reason is that, if you have to figure it out, then you’ve never done it before, and there’s a lot of information that you don’t have. The second reason is that there really isn’t one right answer — even though there are a lot of wrong ones! But the third reason is the real clincher: if you pay careful attention to everything that successful, money–making blogs are doing, you will probably get the wrong idea. Here’s what I mean… So many revenue opportunities If you carefully survey…

Chick of the Day: Evelyn Lozada
26 Jan 2012 | 6:35 pmVH1’s Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada has taken over Maxim Digital in an ultra sexy photo shoot for the #1 Men’s Mag. This Puerto Rican beauty had an opportunity to dish on her guilty pleasures, how a Louboutin shoe almost delayed her flight and why she calls her AFC champion fiancé Chad Ochocinco “Poopsicle”! “I was so thrilled and honored to shoot with Maxim magazine! This was one of the most professional and best shoots I’ve ever had and it was truly exhilarating!” “Evelyn Lozada is turning out to become one of the hottest reality stars on the scene and everyone is… -
Fox Morning Show Co-Anchor Greg Kelly Accused of Rape
26 Jan 2012 | 4:46 pmGreg Kelly, the co-host of FOX’s “Good Day New York” and the son of Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, has been accused of rape. Not only does the 30-year-old paralegal claim the sexual assault occurred, she also says that she got pregnant and subsequently had an abortion as a result of the attack. The Manhattan district attorney’s office is investigating the allegation, and Kelly has not been charged with any crime as of yet. However, he has “strenuously” denied the charge through his lawyer. The alleged rape occurred back on Oct 8 when the two allegedly met on… -

They’re really great tapes to get a hold of,” Sajak said. Post from: EveryJoe -
Rihanna Gets a “Thug Life” Tattoo
26 Jan 2012 | 4:29 pmRihanna showed off her new tattoo on Twitter yesterday. It reads “Thug Life” across her knuckles in pale pink ink. I’m sure Tupac is rolling over in his grave (if he’s really dead). The tattoo looks ridiculous on her, but at least you can barely see it. Also, she needs to work on her camera angles. Look at that forehead fivehead sixhead! Post from: EveryJoe -
Could Facebook Shut Down Over SOPA & PIPA?
17 Jan 2012 | 1:30 pmIf you are like many people, you are reading a lot about SOPA and PIPA right now. To get the lowdown, check out this post about how SOPA/PIPA can affect you. Also, watch this video about understanding SOPA and PIPA, and find out if Facebook could actually shut down. Though Wikipedia is going dark over SOPA/PIPA tomorrow. Many companies actually support SOPA, from ABC to Visa. Allison Boyer of BlogWorld has a good piece about Why SOPA Scares the You-Know-What Out of Me that talks about a lot of worrisome loopholes.

About Author Bashing
27 Jan 2012 | 9:23 amA few people commented about a crack I made in the pragmatic dos and don’ts for writers I posted yesterday. Specifically, I mentioned how authors “show” a face online as part of their persona or marketing tactics. Yes, there are authors (who shall remain nameless) who criticize or comment about other people’s work, etc. in a negative fashion to garner attention. This is different than pointing out an inaccuracy or thinking critically. Even then, sometimes that’s open to interpretation. No, I am *not* naming names or citing examples. Some of these folks are simply… -
Haunted Wins Reader’s Favorite Award
26 Jan 2012 | 4:30 pmWho willingly walks into a haunted house? Our readers do! Since we launched Haunted: 11 Tales of Ghostly Horror in October we’ve received some excellent reviews and recently we won an award for the anthology. Here is a quick recap of some of the comments we’ve had from readers: Dave at Hellnotes.com says: Ghost hunting isn’t something that most people think of as a career, but there are people out there who solicit these types of services legitimately. They’re not just the stuff of horror fiction and films any longer, as attested by ghost hunter Jaeson K. Jrakman in his… -
Pragmatic Dos and Don’ts for Writers
26 Jan 2012 | 11:01 amOne of the things that is *very* confusing for new writers is how to peel off another author’s persona or (as I like to call it) marketing bling. There is the author, there is their work, and then there is the face they show to the world. That character or aspect is specifically engineered to get attention in a very competitive market and many writers utilize advice for newbies to do just that. Others attack or criticize one another to get that visibility. Regardless of your thoughts? That’s them, you’re you, and this is me. There isn’t one approach that’s better… -
New Jewelry Designs
25 Jan 2012 | 11:06 amI took some pictures this morning of the jewelry I’ve been designing and creating. Some of these are based on patterns; others I came up with on the fly. This first picture is based on the popular wrap-around bracelets that you see. Since gold is becoming more popular, I wanted to expand my closet to include the color. It’s not cheap as a raw material and I have metal allergies, so I turned to beads. This first one is my second wrap bracelet I created after taking a class at Fat Cat Beads. I’m really digging chainmaille. This creation uses aluminum and rubber rings and was… -
Sigh. Why Edit Old Books and Revise Slavery?
24 Jan 2012 | 11:30 amIf you read my blog, you know that I tend to explore both sides of an issue before making a decision. There are a few things, though, that I am firmly against. There is a definitive phrase that is drawing my ire and it is called historical revisionism. From rewriting Mark Twain to the current recommendation to remove slavery from history books, there is no shortage of desired changes. Critics who’ve come out against such revisions are purported to cause controversy as if rewriting textbooks to avoid mentioning awful acts in human history was a rational thought in the first place.

How Achieving Your Goals Kills Your Motivation
19 Jan 2012 | 12:00 amHeard you need constant improvement to become a master? Heard you need those 10,000 hours of practice? It’s hogwash. A goal of ‘constant improvement’ won’t lead to success. I learned this when I signed up for Damn Fine Words, James Chartrand’s writing course. Signing up excited me. I was excited because I was taking action towards my goal of ‘constant skill improvement’ so I could further build my business. The first half of the course taught me a lot. This was the most valuable part – a complete writing system, an approach that could be used to take any… -
How to Find Time to Write: A Casual Conversation with Laura Vanderkam
17 Jan 2012 | 12:00 amYou’re invited to a very exclusive event. How to find the time to write. That’s one of the biggest complaints I hear from busy businesspeople, freelancers and entrepreneurs. (Even writers complain they can’t find the time to write!) There aren’t enough hours in a day. There’s so much going on. You’re barely keeping up. You’re just trying to stay afloat and get through the day. It’s overwhelming. You have too much work. Too many obligations. Too much to do. Time to write? Forget it! But you need to find the time to write. Writing is integral to… -
Do You Have Useless Website Content?
16 Jan 2012 | 12:00 amYour website content may be utterly useless. Sure, it’s interesting. It’s often funny. It’s accurate and informative. But it’s probably repetitive. Your website content most likely repeats several sentences throughout your site. Worse, it might even repeat sentences on the same page. Your customer only needs to be told once that you’re a green company, or a hot copywriter, or that you specialize in lawyer-oriented websites. Every word should contribute to convincing your client and telling him something new. Otherwise, you risk frustrating your reader. You don’t want to bore him… -
How to Stop Writing Boring Blog Posts
13 Jan 2012 | 12:00 amIt’s been done tens of millions of time: a blog post is written. Someone has an idea to share with the world. Someone has a beef and they want to rant. Someone writes an inspiring poem. Because of the glut of so many posts, blog posts have become boring. When I scroll through my reader, my eyes glaze over. I long for something exciting. Something different. Something that makes me reach to comment, that makes me laugh out loud. I’m looking for those killer blog posts. I know they exist.

Dear WordCount: What should I charge for copywriting work?
26 Jan 2012 | 7:00 amThis is the latest installment of Dear WordCount, an advice column that answers your questions about writing, blogging and running a freelance business. Dear WordCount: A client is asking if I can produce 500-word articles they would post under their name for a trade association. Another client asked me to write and produce a four-page, monthly newsletter. I’ve done straight up production work in years past and those costs are more definable for me. I have also written mostly analysis and technical books in the past that had fixed prices or were incorporated into a freelance contract. -

How To Break Through Your Work Block
13 Jan 2012 | 12:23 pmI’ve made a lot of excuses for myself over the past month: I just finished several large projects; I deserve a break. I’m distracted because I’m waiting on responses to my lit agent queries; can you blame me? I’m suffering from Holiday Brain. I’m suffering from S.A.D. I’m suffering from this god-awful, nasty, lingering cold. Poor excuses all, especially considering how much work I could’ve been doing based upon the goals I’d set out for myself. I’ve been procrastinating on one project in particular: pulling together the notes for the ASJA… -
One Simple Trick for Effective Self-Editing

My favorite, sex-positive feminist was reading, and I was also excited to catch my very first glimpse of Rev Jen, a writer, performance artist, and elf I’d first become aware of when she was writing the old-school “I Did It For Science” column on Nerve. Before we could bask in the awesome glow of the featured readers, however, there was an open mic. I didn’t read,… -
Freelancing and Yoga Go Together Like… Nutella and Pound Cake
6 Jan 2012 | 2:57 pmI can't even do the pose pictured on my shirt without falling over. Those of you who have been reading Freelancedom for awhile may have noticed a shift in tone recently. Part of this has been due to a shift in focus, and in changing goals. Part of it has been due to the emotional/mental shift that comes with improved work/life balance, and with more consistent income (alleluia!). But a big part of that shift has come from the fact that I now hit up my local yoga studio four to five days a week. Is that crazy? Maybe. But I’ve come to realize that freelancing and yoga go together like… -

In slow motion. This past couple of weeks, I’ve definitely been working in slow motion. I’ve been sitting with stacks of magazines, flipping through for story idea inspiration.

Face to Face Marketing Tips for Freelance Writers
23 Jan 2012 | 8:12 amLike many freelance writers, I do not enjoy talking about myself. That being said, there is a fine line between bragging on yourself and doing an effective job in the sales and marketing department. Are you comfortable with “face to face marketing?” In short, this is the act of marketing your services to potential clients in person. No matter the setting – from conferences to chamber meetings – you need to be comfortable selling and marketing yourself in a face to face environment. Here are several tips to keep in mind: 1. Rather than brag about your accomplishments, detail your past… -

Building the Perfect Freelance Office
19 Jan 2012 | 6:56 amThe environment I’m in influences the quality of my work, or at the very least how I feel about the work. For example, I can’t write in bed. I can’t sit with a laptop in bed and expect to create great things. I’d rather just sleep so long as I’m there. I need a real office space where I feel empowered and professional in order to run my business effectively. For years I’ve struggled to find the place in my home where was going to create this perfect office set-up.

If you’re about to launch a “commercial” writing business (writing for companies, and the subject of TWFW), or are 1-2 years into one that’s plateaued, you need to check out this program. It’s solely focused on commercial writing, NOT magazine writing. As I told Peter directly, I think he offers some of the best resources around for freelancers. His products and services are…

Business is Where We Really Need to Be Talking About Sustainability
23 Jan 2012 | 10:55 amSustainability is a big fat buzzword. It gets trotted out anytime someone wants to appear to care for the environment and it’s meaning is becoming diluted. We’ve added a sense that ‘sustainability’ has to mean we’re talking about the environment. But the word really has much broader roots than that. Sustainability is a question of building something that can repeat and continue, especially in a situation when limited resources are available. That can mean talking about energy efficiency and the like, but it can just as easily be a question of practicing stewardship with our own time… -
The Importance of the Technical Skills I See Among Entrepreneurs
20 Jan 2012 | 12:04 pmI fully admit that I hang out with nerds, geeks and so on. I have only a handful of friends who have even undergraduate degrees in business, let alone MBAs. I don’t have a problem with people who pursue an MBA — just as I don’t have a problem with people who pursue a Ph.D. in underwater basket weaving. To each our own. But when it comes to entrepreneurship, I’m seeing some very interesting trends. In my circle, the more successful entrepreneurs have some impressive technical skills, first and foremost. Just about everyone picks up business skills along the way, but it’s not… -
A Glossary of Titles of People Who Work without a Boss
16 Jan 2012 | 11:27 amThere are a lot of descriptions of people who work for themselves. If you take on contracts for creative work, you can be a freelancer or an independent contractor. If you’re looking to build something bigger down the road, you might be an entrepreneur — or you might just be a small business owner. Nomenclature can be very important: because most of these titles have fairly common interpretations, people can tell a lot about you depending on which one you choose. Freelancer: Freelancers are almost always individuals working on their own, usually in a creative field. A freelancer works on… -
Independent Workers Will Be the Majority, Again
10 Jan 2012 | 8:00 pmIf you take a look at the job titles back on your family tree beyond the last hundred years or so, you’re not going to see a lot of company men. You might see a few different job titles, like farmer, sailor, tailor or blacksmith. In the 1800s or so, you might see a few factory workers. But in any period before the Industrial Revolution, you’re probably looking at a family history full of people working for themselves or for marginally wealthier landowners in their area. There simply weren’t big companies the way there are today — there was no infrastructure for them. But… -
Crushing It: Not the Right Option for Everyone
6 Jan 2012 | 3:14 pmThere’s a certain mindset that you’re likely to encounter in the fast-paced worlds of internet marketing, start-ups and other specialized types of entrepreneurship that if you want to be in business, you absolutely have to ‘crush it.’ Gary Vaynerchuk is the mascot of this point of view and, boy howdy, has it worked for him. The man turned a single liquor store into a media empire. But just because something works well for Vaynerchuk doesn’t mean that it’s definitely going to work for you. Not all of us have the same mindset, motivations or energy levels.

How to Break Into a New Freelancing Niche
10 Jan 2012 | 9:44 amI’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… -
Forget New Year’s Resolutions! Make This Instead
5 Jan 2012 | 2:40 pmAs you may have deduced from my un-resolution post at Freelance Folder and this blog post title, I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions. They’re so… common, and I would hate to be like everybody else (maybe that’s one of the reasons I’m a freelancer?). Now if making resolutions works for you — if they get you to develop new, positive habits that improve your life — then go for it! Don’t let my personal preferences stop you. But if you want to do something else, either in addition to or in lieu of, New Year’s resolutions, then I have… -
Most Popular Savvy Freelancer Posts of 2011
27 Dec 2011 | 11:09 amBefore we bid adieu to 2011, let’s take a look at the most popular posts in The Savvy Freelancer for 2011. This list is based on the number of page views, as well as the number of comments on each post. I didn’t use any scientific formula, so you’ll just have to take my word for it. Most Popular Polls I published a number of polls for freelancers in 2011, and these three topped the list in terms of readership and engagement: Poll: What’s The Biggest Mistake You’ve Ever Made as a Freelancer?

Best and Worst Freelancing Advice of 2011
13 Dec 2011 | 9:54 amIf you’re a freelancer, it’s easy to get freelancing advice. You can invest in books, coaching programs, and bootcamps for freelancers. Even if you’re bootstrapping, you won’t run out of freelancing advice from blogs, free webinars (ahem), not to mention well-meaning friends and relatives. The bottom line is, you can find a lot of guidance for freelancing out there. What’s critical is your ability to sift through all the information that is available, and make a judgement call on which advice is good, and which is bad. In this post, I’m sharing the best and… -
My 2011 Freelancing Gratitude List

I know, this post is late for Thanksgiving, but it’s always a good time to focus on the good things that have come to us. It helps put things into perspective and makes us open to accept more of the positive. The 10 things I’m most grateful for in 2011 are: 1. My clients Of course, clients are what every freelancer covets, and I’ve got some of the best ones. A client who first hired me in 2008 became a retainer client this year. Another client I’ve…

How Can I Get High-Paying Writing Jobs on oDesk?
26 Jan 2012 | 1:41 pmGuest post by Missy Nolan oDesk is notorious for low-paying freelance writing jobs. If you are an oDesk user, you’ve probably waded through hundreds, maybe even thousands, of writing gigs that demand high-quality, well-researched 500 word articles for $1 or $2. Most of us can’t survive on rates that low. In fact, $2 won’t even get you a loaf of bread or a carton of eggs in some cities. Don’t give up on oDesk just yet, though. There are plenty of gems hiding between all the ridiculously picky clients and insultingly low wages. Finding them just requires a bit… -

4 Jan 2012 | 3:55 pmIf you are a fiction writer, online writer, or magazine writer, you need to be able to promote yourself. Unless of course you’re big enough to have an agent that does all of that for you. But the majority of us are web writers and the only people we can depend on to promote us are ourselves!

Do You Need Motivation as a Freelance Writer?
13 Dec 2011 | 7:00 amOne of the most difficult aspects of being a freelance writer is staying motivated. You can lose your motivation because you’ve worked so much you’re burned out, because you feel isolated, or even because you can’t imagine anyone being interested in what you have to say on a blog. When you lose your motivation, freelancing writing becomes a chore rather than a career that you love. Join a Group A great way to stay motivated is to join a group of other like-minded writers. Some writers are interested in eventually having enough passive income to live off of while others are…

Assumptions
19 Jan 2012 | 7:10 amOne Halloween while helping my mom pass out candy, I saw a kid in a cute Bugs Bunny costume. The costume was made out of nice material instead of the weird smelling plastic mask and the stiff vinyl bodysuit. See Exhibit A for an lovely example of a vinyl Darth Vader costume. What’s up with my reaction in the photo? I wasn’t happy someone took my picture before I could get my mask on. I can’t recall exactly how the cute Bugs Bunny costume looked except that it wasn’t the vinyl most of us wore those days unless we were lucky enough to have a parent who could sew or pull… -
Is a Blog Right for Your Business Update
11 Jan 2012 | 8:50 amImage from sxc.hu user typofi Although I wrote Is a Blog Right for Your Business? in 2007, people still mention the article or contact me with questions after reading it. Blogging has changed a lot since then, but one paragraph remains true. Some people like to read blogs, others like to read newsletters, still others like to rely on feeds and some read a few or all of them. No matter the method the information is distributed, each medium has one thing in common: content. Having a blog connects your newsletter, your website and your business with all of these readers.

One Wrong Way to Get Business
3 Jan 2012 | 10:06 pmMichelle Rafter posted a letter of introduction (LOI) from a writer who took an ego trip. Instead of an ego trip, I heard from an accountant who must be taking a trip to find blockhead clients. The email introduction implies she thinks writers don’t have business sense. The email makes a bad first impression coming from a free email service provider using “free_lancer01″ in the address and “abc efg” in the display name. (Maybe the “D” key didn’t work.) Not only that, but she sent it to two others, one of which was someone I knew. Here’s… -

I received an email from my cousins in Austins who planned to come to town for the exhibition. We set it up, reserved the tickets and had a memorable experience. (Yes, I remember my sons complaining. This cropped photo had my family, but only my daughter and husband cooperated.) It had been over eight years since I last visited the museum for the Georgia O’Keeffe exhibition.

How Freelancers Can Beat the Discount Mindset
25 Jan 2012 | 8:00 amIn these tough times when businesses are cutting down costs, freelancers are tempted to give discounts to add more value to their services.

Should you even give discounts to motivate your potential customers to choose you among the rest?

19 Jan 2012 | 8:00 amThere’s a reason why you have to do double time this year to becoming a freelancing lead magnet. As the growth on the number of freelancers rise, the competition can be close to brutal.

A Fresh Look at Email Marketing for Business: The Influence of Social Networking
24 Jan 2012 | 3:05 amEmail marketing was perhaps the original online marketing in a sense. We can learn many lessons from social networking and social media marketing and apply them to our email subscription strategy. In many ways, email marketing is very similar to Twitter and Facebook marketing. We could consider email marketing as the original online marketing strategy. It was only a few years ago when marketers would bombard users of a specific demographic set until they would click through, or buy. The advent of social media marketing is actually a maturation of the original email marketing. Bombarding has… -
Google Analytics: Updated and Up to Date
23 Jan 2012 | 2:14 amGoogle’s September 2011 update to its Analytics package finally drew a line under one argument that it’s always lost – Google Analytics now provides real-time reporting and other popular features that competitors have been offering for years. Google didn’t get it right first time when it launched New Analytics in May 2011, but it’s been moving the product forward since then and most users are happy with the result. Google Analytics needed a facelift – blog posts and comments bemoaning the lack of functionality had become commonplace. Leaving aside the real-time data debate,…

10 Business Clichés to stay far away from & why

Fueled by Fear: How freelancers can become better by being completely terrified
23 Nov 2011 | 7:45 amIt’s amazing what people can do when their backs are against the wall. From grandmothers being able to lift a car off of their grandchild with their bare hands to someone being able to survive a knife attack. The ability to overcome is something truly fascinating. So why do most of us fall victim to the fears we have? It cripples us and causes unnecessary timidness in our daily activities. Instead of getting out there and going after our goals, we get trapped into believing that good is good enough. It’s never good enough. Or at least it shouldn’t be. So how can you turn… -

You’ll find that you just soak into that prose, and you’ll find that the comma means something, that it’s there for a reason, and that that adjective is there for a reason, because the copying out, the handwriting, the becoming an apprentice—or in a way, a servant—to that passage in the book makes you see things in it that you wouldn’t see if you just moved your eyes over it, or even if you typed it.

7 Headline approaches that will hook your readers and keep them reading.
11 Dec 2011 | 9:39 amWriting powerful headlines for web content is a forgotten craft. I don’t mean the craft itself is forgotten. I mean we simply forget to use it. Somewhere in our minds we know the headline is important. We know it’s what hooks the reader, or not. And we know it has a big impact on whether or not our content is shared through social media. So how come we keep grinding out boring and unenticing headlines for our content pages? I don’t know what your excuse it, but for myself I sometimes publish content with boring headlines simply because I have forgotten to rework the placeholder headline… -
The 3 A's of Client Attraction.
2 Nov 2011 | 8:11 pmI was listening to the radio the other day and came across a discussion about how, people choose their doctors. And this is where the 3 A’s come in. Affability, Availability and Ability. When a doctor is affable, that means he or she is friendly, empathetic and appears genuinely caring. Availability is about how long the patient will have to wait to get an appointment. And ability speaks to the patient’s sense of just how good or bad the doctor is at his or her job. What interested me was that the expert being interviewed on that radio program was saying that these 3 A’s are listed…

13 Dec 2011 | 9:54 amIf you’re a freelancer, it’s easy to get freelancing advice. You can invest in books, coaching programs, and bootcamps for freelancers. Even if you’re bootstrapping, you won’t run out of freelancing advice from blogs, free webinars (ahem), not to mention well-meaning friends and relatives. The bottom line is, you can find a lot of guidance for freelancing out there. What’s critical is your ability to sift through all the information that is available, and make a judgement call on which advice is good, and which is bad. In this post, I’m sharing the best and… -
My 2011 Freelancing Gratitude List
6 Dec 2011 | 11:13 amIt’s that time of year when we take stock of the past and give thanks for all the blessings we’ve received. I know, this post is late for Thanksgiving, but it’s always a good time to focus on the good things that have come to us. It helps put things into perspective and makes us open to accept more of the positive. The 10 things I’m most grateful for in 2011 are: 1. My clients Of course, clients are what every freelancer covets, and I’ve got some of the best ones. A client who first hired me in 2008 became a retainer client this year. Another client I’ve…

Basecamp Next's caching hardware
27 Jan 2012 | 8:45 amFrom the very start, we wanted Basecamp Next to be fast. Really, really fast. To do so we built a russian-doll architecture of nested caching that I’ll write up in detail soon. But for now I just wanted to share where all this caching is going to live as we just installed it at the hosting center. It kinda reminds me of what pictures of a drug raid look like when they lay out all the coke and cash on the table, but this is what 864GB of RAM looks like: Cost of the loot was $12,000. -
Three years later, Mr. Moore is still letting us punt on database sharding
27 Jan 2012 | 8:23 amThree years ago, I wrote about how improvements in technology keep allowing us to punt on sharding the Basecamp database. This is still true, only more so now. We’ve grown enormously over the last three years but RAM keeps getting cheaper and FusionIO SSD’s keep getting faster. If anything, it seems like recent advances in SSD technology are accelerating and it’s ever more unlikely that we’ll need to shard Basecamp. Basecamp remains a perfect candidate for sharding. Isolated accounts, no sharing between them. Yet the cost in increased complexity is constant while the… -

Basecamp Next: A peek at early iterations of the Projects screen
26 Jan 2012 | 12:06 pmWe’ve been working on Basecamp Next since March 2011 and we’re getting close to the public release. The private beta is now in full swing. Early iterations on the Projects screen We thought it might be fun to share some of the early design explorations for one particular screen, the Projects screen. Basically, the projects screen is a list of your projects. You can create new projects there as well. We explored hundreds iterations of the screen – from small tweaks to fundamental shifts in the feature itself. Only a fraction of the explorations are shown in the video below. -
Give me spark
26 Jan 2012 | 9:14 amSome of the best decisions and designs at 37signals have emerged from intensely contested debates. Not just between Jason and me, but from anyone in the company. When sparks fly, some truly great ideas come to light. The catch is that the heat must arise around the decision itself. Debates go off track when personal biases or old grudges come into play. So long as each party sticks to the merits, adding some fire will only unearth new angles and concerns. This energy is so important to how 37signals operates that I consider it every time we make a hire. Is this person willing to fight for…

Three Easy Tips to Help You Effectively Estimate Project Time
27 Jan 2012 | 7:50 amDo you know how much time your next project will take? As a freelancer, you should at least have an idea. If you’re freelancing, you must be able to effectively estimate the time each of your projects will take. If you can’t do this you won’t know how much to charge for your work or how to best schedule your time. Estimating is one of the core freelancing skills, yet it is one that many freelancers struggle with. If you have trouble in this area, you’re not alone. In this post, I’ll give you three easy tips to help you improve your estimating skills. I’ll… -

25 Jan 2012 | 9:40 amSure, everyone faces some challenges from time to time.

If you’re properly prepared, though, you can handle most freelancing challenges that come your way while minimizing your stress. In this post, I’ll outline some of the common challenges that freelancers face. I’ll also discuss how to handle those challenges that are most unique to freelancing.

Making Mondays Work for You
23 Jan 2012 | 10:53 amAre you one of those people who always get the Monday Blues? Do you have to drag yourself out of bed? Do you feel sluggish and unmotivated all day Monday? And does every thing seem to go wrong on this day? The Monday blues are common. In fact, a study by the firm Mercer found that 35% of all sick leave is taken on a Monday. In another study, more than 25% of people surveyed said the thought of going back to work on Monday morning was enough to ruin their weekend. These studies were done among employees, and you’re a freelancer. But I’ll bet if you could take Mondays off, you… -
How to Set Personal Boundaries When You Work From Home
20 Jan 2012 | 10:41 amDo you crave a balance between your work and your personal life? Most freelancers do, but the challenges of working from home can sometimes make life/work balance seem unattainable. You may feel like you are constantly being pulled towards both family and work commitments–a bit like being in the middle of a tug-of-war. One answer that can help you achieve better balance between your work and personal life is boundaries. In this post, I’ll explain how boundaries help freelancers. I’ll also list some of the areas where you should consider establishing boundaries in your own… -
How to Find and Apply Vision to Your Freelancing Business
18 Jan 2012 | 10:49 amFortune 500 companies, non-profits and other “serious” businesses have them. Should your freelancing business have one too? A vision, that is. A vision is simply a statement (several paragraphs, actually) of where you’d like your business to be in the next x number of years. Apparently, a vision is really good for any business, including yours. The Benefits of Having a Vision A vision helps you plan ahead. It provides a compass with which you can direct your freelancing business. Without a vision, you wouldn’t have anything to guide you in making decisions. Outside…

Does Facebook Timeline Make Sense For You?
27 Jan 2012 | 9:00 amI have yet to adopt the new Facebook Timeline interface. I don’t want to. I’m comfortable with using Facebook the way it is, thank-you-very-much. When I found this post on mashable about how to revert back to Facebook classic, I knew I wasn’t alone in wishing some things would just stay the same. I know I probably sound like a curmudgeon to you, but honestly, when things I use on a constant basis—like Facebook—go through an “upgrade” it’s all I can do to not pout. They say they are making their product more user friendly, but all change has a learning curve. I’m a busy… -

It’s time to have a chat with author and freelance marketer Danny Iny. He quit school at the age of fifteen to start his first freelance web design business. The only problem with it was that it didn’t work. He then tried several other businesses, continually pushing himself. A lot of hard work and devotion paid off.

By the time summer rolls around, you have been working your butt off and let things—like life outside of your office—go by the wayside. Having a life outside of your job is incredibly important. Spending time with your family and friends, as well as making time for your hobbies keep you grounded, energized, and overall happy. I really loved the ideas these entrepreneurs shared with Inc.com on how to get a life outside of your job. Here are… -

5 tips for managing client expectations

Taxes: The IRS introduces the 1099-K (AKA PayPal 1099) from your online payment provider
9 Jan 2012 | 9:41 amIf you’re a small business and receive funds via credit cards online, or other online payments from your clients, you can anticipate receiving a 1099-K this coming tax year. The 1099-K is the IRS’ latest tax form for small business, which is provided directly to the IRS from your online payment provider (such as PayPal). You will also be receiving a copy, so you can match it to your own record of online payments (always important to double check). Essentially, this form is a record of your revenue from your online payment provider that will be directly reported to the IRS. The… -

Write like you’re rich
18 Jan 2012 | 9:17 amI play in a Thursday golf league here in Phoenix, and a few weeks ago one of the partners in my foursome made a comment that I felt I needed to write down: “You just gotta play like you’re rich,” he said.Think, he said, about the über-wealthy who cruise in on their Gulfstreams to play the best courses in the world. The golf game is part of it, but so’s the camaraderie and the post-round cocktailing, and simply some time away from a high-intensity reality. A rich guy is likely hypercompetitive (read: Trump), and many of them are also highly skilled golfers…but… -

Freelance pricing revisited, again

It’s not so bad being busy
21 Dec 2011 | 5:12 pmLast weekend I was outside doing some yardwork, and two neighborhood elementary schoolgirls were doing laps through the cul de sac. First, they came buzzing through on scooters. Then, a couple of circles around on bikes. Next came rollerblades. Then once again, with one of them on a bike, towing the other (somewhat perilously, with a bungee cord) on old-fashioned rollerskates. Every time through, they waved and said “hi,” like they hadn’t seen me in hours.It was wonderful, keeping me entertained as I was digging in the pipes for our drip irrigation system and winter flowers,… -
Firefox freezes fix
2 Dec 2011 | 1:48 pmI’m a fan of Firefox rather than my Mac’s proprietary Safari browser. But I recently installed version 8 and it has been slow, hanging all the time, collapsing into “Firefox (not responding)” mode and just plain misbehaving. I tried all the usual tricks, such as clearing the cache, dumping my cookies, etc. Nothing worked. Like the time WordPress was running slow on GoDaddy, the freeze-ups were driving me nuts and preventing me from getting my writing projects done. Slow research=tedious, unproductive workday.We freelancers don’t have IT departments to lean on,…

My Mass Niche Site Project
25 Jan 2012 | 9:45 amDuring my first couple of weeks out of employment (and in business), I have found myself occasionally referencing my short term progress against my monthly and quarterly goals. I have in fact set myself a reminder to check my monthly goals at the start of every week, to make sure that I am on track. And as I said in my recent post, Let’s Make 2012 A Game Changer, flexibility is key when it comes to goals. Even though I only published my first set of goals 20 days ago (of which I was on holiday for 10), some have already become redundant or subject to change. That is to be expected from a… -

Yep – I was a fool last week, and I am an idiot today. I must learn to be less abusive to myself!

I always like to read previous updates in my niche site series when I write these posts, to see what my plans were, and how they developed.

I definitely could: Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. There we go – one of my favourite idioms, beautifully butchered by Dubya (as only he could). I’m more interested in the “traditional” wording, as it applies beautifully to the situation I find myself in regarding my authority site, Deal With Anxiety.

8 Steps to Blog Post Perfection
10 Dec 2011 | 6:53 amIntroductionWhen I started to blog less than a year ago, I had no idea how to get started or how to write effectively for search engines. I've learned a lot in the past several months, and I'm far from being any sort of expert on the subject. However, as I became more familiar with its conversational style and keyword optimization, the picture started slowly becoming clearer and things began falling into place a bit. That's when I started having fun! I have a somewhat uniquely spelled name, so I quickly grabbed up my own domain and got to work on my personal experiment…
