Keeping in touch after a job is finished is a very basic thing that many web design businesses overlook. It may take a little effort but as long as you’ve done a good job in the first place, your name will spring straight to mind when a previous client has more work, or is asked to recommend someone.

Nice tips, but nowadays people like to outsource to overseas because they could get same quality with lower price, and not only the end customer does it, but also the web companies. We can’t buy burger for 50 cent here like in overseas… I think that what makes freelancing harder. Any tips to get around this?

“Freelancing is a hard road. Not everyone is suited for a lifestyle. It takes brains, balls, and wit to stay above water. ”

This is true. It’s very important to maintain the quality of work in order to stay in the game. There’s no regularity when it comes to freelancing so it’s very important to do well in every project so that the chance of getting new projects would be easier.

It is really true that being freelancer is risky, because it is not a full time job and you may lost your client if they are not satisfied with your work or for some other reason

In place of a contract I just make a sample for my customers. Then I get paid in full.

There is a large market from which a freelance writer can choose, and the sky is the limit as to what type of genre or how much work a freelance writer might have at any given time. A freelance writer whose specialty is fiction might dabble in poetry, short stories or e-books, or he might have an ongoing novel in the works. Many publishers will accept fiction but most freelance writers agree it is a much harder market to break into.

Having the contract in place is the best thing i have done since i started this web design business full time. I got ripped off so bad several times before i learnt my lesson.

Few years ago when i was just starting out, many times i ended up putting so much extra work in each web project (even after the website was complete)

Never charged for training and maintenance until i realized that everyone was taking advantage.

well…good list of things to pay your attention to! No doubt this article should be read and re-read by all new web designers who are in their very beginning of freelance business. From me – I’d recommend to use LinkedIn site , for it provides incredible opportunities…. also find a couple of staffing agencies that supply serious companies with freelancers and work for some time via their assignments to gain more connections. Networking rules this world guys! It is wise advice.

Best regards from Toronto

I believe, as indicated if you stipulate the exact result of the project, request a deposit and do not post live to client’s domain, you should be fine
