Going freelance

Featured Replies

I know this thread has probably been done hundreds of times before, so hopefully people wont mind me adding another one.

 

Im looking at going freelance, but dont really know where to start with doing so. What would people suggest that i read to help with my decision?

 

Are you freelance? Would you reccommend it? What have been your best/worse experiences?

I would recommend getting some contracts in place before you go freelancing. There are some good starter point over in Smashing Magazine too :D

Ideally, if i go freelance it would be in Web Design. Thank you for the examples.

Hi, would also recommend trawling through the following articles too...

And if you don't already, setup a "delicious" account for all your bookmarks as if you get into this you will find hundreds of useful links that three weeks later you can't remember what or where they were.... so "tag" them as soon as you see them and then you'll have them wherever they were.
