Guest Post Written by Naana Joa Braso One of the things you will struggle with as a freelancer is the way some clients will treat you simply because you do not have an office space and this means you are not an “actual” business. People will try to take advantage of you, disrespect your.
I happen to know a lot of writers. Some traits can be smelt (detected) a mile away, and one of them is passion. One other “sniffable” trait? Insecurity. I have attempted to piece together reasons for this state of insecurity, and one reason which comes up frequently is rejection. There is something immensely creative about.
Those who inspire need the most inspiration As the month runs to an end, many of us might have drained our creative juices on tasks, and can’t wait to break away from our routines, even if only for a day or two. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as in fact, it is deemed.

Ultimately, you cannot claim to be a seasoned freelancer.
A niche. Everyone keeps talking about a niche. What’s so special about this subject matter?

Sometimes when we hear about getting freelance jobs, the thing that comes to our mind is getting them online. However, do you know that you can get lots of freelance jobs offline as well? I got some of my freelance jobs offline, and you too can! However, whenever you are preparing to go out and.
