    How Should a Freelancer Deal with Dry Spells? As much as there are days filled with jobs, jobs and more jobs, there are also some terribly dry days in freelancing.

    Comparison has helped freelancers in…

    I’m still waiting for you to complete that statement, if you have an answer that is; because I don’t. While meeting with other people who do the same thing as you (or within the same niche), invariably, comparison rears its ugly head, and thoughts such as this begin to come into your mind: “Maybe they’re…

    Dear Freelancer: What Inspires/Refuels You?

  • The Employer-Freelancer Code

    The Employer-Freelancer Code

    Yes! You read right! There is an Employer-Freelancer code or should I just say there really should be an Employer-Freelancer code?
