Why Self-Promotion is a Must
Does anyone find it freaky that Calvin Lee looks like well, Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes? In any case, check out his interview, which concentrates on Self-Promotion Made Easy, over at FreelanceSwitch.com. Here’s the money paragraph:
If you’re a freelancer, self-promotion is a must. How else do you expect a potential client to know about you? Most new designers—even some pros—don’t view self-promotion as an option. Many frown upon self-promoting, as it’s bragging and name-dropping. In a way, it’s bragging but to me it’s more about letting people know who I am and what I can do to help them.

Well, I think freelancers are also in a job. It’s just a different kind of setup. :)
