Freelance Advisor and Web Consultant Lief Kendall offers some quick tips and tricks for freelancers
Gosh, well… what a year! If you don’t know me, then you won’t know that this year I turned 30, quit my day job and had a baby. It’s been an amazing, exciting year (and it’s not even finished yet!).
And here I’d like to review the freelance copywriting aspect of that. Partly to share some ideas with you, and partly to record my own thoughts.
So starting today I’m going to be posting a series of ten lessons that I’ve learnt during my time freelancing. These will be super-short micro-posts.
Feel free to share your comments
Lesson 1: Look busy
Even if work slows down, you should be able to find plenty of things to do. Things like: updating your website, updating your CV, calling potential customers, calling clients and saying hello, arranging meetings with colleagues, book-keeping, admin, back-ups, blogging, networking, reading books and blogs, skill-swapping and evaluating your competition.

You should never be ‘finished’.
