Contract Worker - Freelancing Experiences

Is Cutting-Edge Freelance Dead?

by Rico on September 16th, 2008

Here’s what I mean. Thanks to all that wonderful content on freelancing now available online (hopefully, this includes some of what I’ve written here in Contract Worker), a lot of people already have a good idea of what it takes to succeed at freelancing.

1. Submit on time and to spec
2. Know your worth
3. Know your fundamentals
4. Practice, practice, practice
5. Market yourself ruthlessly
6. Manage your finances properly

That’s hardly a complete list, but that’s beside the point. You can find advice for freelancers practically anywhere online, and that’s the point. With everyone talking about freelancing, and how to be a better contract worker, aren’t we all basically talking about the same things over and over again, with a new angle, but the same ultimate point nonetheless?
