When I was a freelancer, I lost a couple of potentially big clients exactly because of this (not my proudest moment, I know). On the other hand, I had a couple of big clients that completely understood my working hours (one of them even remembered my birthday and said I should absolutely take a day off and continue working the next day ). I'm usually away from my desktop during the weekends but I make sure that checking my emails is the first thing to do on Monday mornings. I'd say there's really no rules here. It's all about your company policy and good communication with clients. Although, if it's a matter of urgency, you should absolutely NOT ignore your clients emails. Good thing we have smartphones nowadays and we can reply emails on the fly .

First two have been a struggle for me for a quite some time, but after you get more experienced and more used to how the things work in freelancing world, it gets easier. I guess everyone has their own struggles and different experiences and I would love to hear more opinion about this.

I think a good resume and recommendation letters are far more important than a degree per se is. You can have 5 degrees for that matter, but if you don't know how to do your job properly, they won't be much useful to you.

I'd go back to freelancing!

Here are some great tips about some new methods for increasing your page rank: http://www.seoireland.net/how-to-get-high-google-rankings-for-your-website-in-2015/

You'll have to be patient. I've read your previous posts and saw your portfolio, I think it looks good. Don't rush it if they don't reply immediately. Although you can always search for some paid work, it's not like you don't have any experience; you could get along just fine.

It all depends on their reaction after the first time you contacted them. If you think you sound too pushy, you can always send them an email instead of a phone call after a couple of days.

Say it like it is! You can try and explain to them that it's outdated and that a good website can be beneficial for ones presence and business.

When it comes to social media, it's very important to follow the trends and know what's in at any give time. Unfortunately, there are so many people who don't use the potential of SM or don't even know how to use them so their businesses are bound to fail.

The reason that many new business fail very quickly is often because people don't have a clear idea of what they're getting themselves into. Running a succesful business and getting to the point where you can call your business successful is very hard, it takes a lot of work and learning along the way. Another thing I've noticed is that nowadays, there's some sort of an infamous trend that you have to hate your job. The grass is always greener on the other side and that's just in our nature but people tend to be too picky and spoiled sometimes. Lastly, working from home can be a great solution for those who live alone or don't have kids, but that doesn't mean that stay at home moms, dads, college graduates, even older citizens can't do it. Yes, it's true, there are a lot of distractions but they aren't something that you can't overcome with a little bit of self discipline and dedication

I use Facebook and Twitter, although I find the later more effective if you want to build some sort of relationships with your audience.

If you have a feeling you're wasting your time, then move on. You're too young to be stuck in a job that gives you no opportunities.

Seriously, don't do that. Unless you want to get penalized by Google, in that case go ahead. But it's better to rely on quality and relevant content rather than on tricky and fishy methods that can seriously harm you and if you get penalized, then all of your previous hard work is wasted.

Why would you want a generic, random, inactive audience? Besides, most of them will just unfollow you after some time. All the time you spend on twiends you can spend on Twitter actually building the audience and the followers list the organic way.

We are a telecommuting company that provides work from home jobs, so we have many employers that are looking for workers. There are up to 10 post on our website daily. We pick 4 of them daily and post them on our Facebook page along with Twitter. It might seem much but it's simply necessary in this type of business.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Instagram. Depending on the type of business you run, it can be of a great help, and their hashtags and tricks can really be powerful tools for gaining traffic.

You know what's great? Behind every automated task there's a man. As the technology is evolving, different job types will appear, but no matter how smart the computer is, it can never replace a human brain, at least not in the near future. Well, I hope so, otherwise Terminator won't be just a cheesy action movie after all.

Opera all the way! Chrome is a nightmare when it comes to virtual memory usage. Also, I like the way Opera is designed, there are some nifty built in plug ins and the UI is much than in Chrome, in my opinion.

I wouldn't agree with you guys. Yes, you can outsource parts of the projects to people who are familiar with the things you are not, but there are several potential mistakes and bad things that can happen here. Let's say you accept a project you're not so familiar with or partially familiar with its execution. If you outsource it, how will you ever learn? Another thing, if you outsource something, and it turns out bad, you'll have to take the blame, and in your clients eyes, you'll be the one who's responsible. That's a very bad reputation to have if you ask me. The best you should do is being straight forward with your client and tell them you don't know how to do this or that and then he'll decide if he want's to keep you on project or not.

With server hosts you get what you paid for. If you want a proven web host, than GoDaddy all the way.

Well if you want a completely free server hosting, prepare yourself for a lot of struggle with crashing and other issues. I'd suggest finding a cheap server host rather than a free one.

''Creeps''.. I lol'd. Definitely and interesting way not to learn PHP

Basically, Google is launching new mobile friendly algorithm in a few days. Desktop SERP ranking should not be affected, BUT if you only have a desktop version of the site then consider optimizing it to being mobile friendly, since this new update will have a great impact on how your site is ranking on mobile searches. Here is a binary mobile-friend test, and here you can read about it in details.

My colleagues were discussing about this topic not so long ago. Regarding to he new mobile friendly algorithm, take a look at this article.
