Making Good Use of Inventory 2.0
Believe it or not, all contract workers should maintain an inventory. In fact, it’s a must.
“Inventory” in this sense doesn’t mean your traditional warehouse of goods or commodities, but an archive freelancers use to accomplish projects. Some writers print out their works and file them (or simply back up the documents). Photographers keep a database of stock photography. Designers incorporate clipart as they work.

We’ll cover these two aspects of a great Inventory 2.0 over the next few days.
