Freelance Advice Article, 8 Great Freelancing Tips

By Brad • February 18, 2009 • Filed in: Illustration Resources

Some great freelance tips & advice in question and answer format. Check the site link at the bottom to get the answers to the 8 common questions below, usually asked by beginning freelancers or someone thinking about starting a freelancing career.

This post is a direct follow-up to the open thread we ran last week where we asked for your freelance questions. We said to pretend that there was a panel of freelance-gurus who could answer anything about freelancing, and then asked you to post your top question in the comments.

While we don’t really have a panel of freelance gurus over at FreelanceFolder headquarters, we’re at least going to take a shot at answering some these questions. As forewarning, we’re probably also going to rely heavily on the community and other articles to help out with the answers :-)

Here are the 8 most common questions from our open thread, along with their answers:

  1. How can I get new clients?
  2. When should I start freelancing?
  3. How can I develop the skills required to start?
  4. How can I make people respect my work and time?
  5. Should I create a corporation, and what kind?
  6. Where can I get good health insurance?
  7. What’s the best invoicing or accounting software?
  8. How can I go from low-paying jobs to high-paying jobs?
