It’s a rare freelancer who doesn’t get work done through a computer. Even contract workers who spend the day going around, like speakers and consultants, use a computer for supplementary tasks like typing up reports, creating presentations, maintaining a contact database, etc.

The trick to closing a deal with a client is communicating in a way he understands. Once again I write about something quite obvious, but we easily ignore what is evident.

While waiting out the storm, I’m checking out these informative articles:
Going Solo: A Few Words of Advice - Stowe Boyd talks about self-marketing and personal management. He particularly highlights conferences as “amazingly productive investment.” That makes sense, since you raise your visibility by interacting with potential clients.
Home Office: Stay Organized and Focused - BusinessXpert stresses […]
