  • Set up partnerships
  • I do have an hourly rate, but it’s only a jumping off point for project pricing. I also factor in the incredible amount of experience and knowledge that comes along for the ride, something you ought to do as well.
  • Provide a superlative customer experience
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Ask for referrals
  • NEVER work for free
  • But it’s amazing how many talented people will work on spec (you only get paid if the project is picked up) or lower their fees to a ridiculous level. Once you lower your fees, you just cheapened your value and said, “I’m not worth that much.” That’s a tough hole to climb out of.
  • Get serious about accounting
  • Walk away from anything that seems weird or wrong

  • 3 basic rules of freelancing. Know who you are: If your messaging is not clear, you will not work. Know what you offer: You should never be trying to do it all. Know who your ideal client is: You cannot be everything to everyone.  Basics, right? We've all heard these rules before but they are more important now than ever before. In a market that is experiencing growth unlike anything we've ever seen, it's a do-or-die situation. If you cannot clearly define who you are, what you are offering, and who you want to offer it to, there are plenty of others who can and are just waiting to jump right in.

    Nice chart and narrative on the big employment intermediaries by Christopher Null @Christophernull, PCWorld, July 23, 2013. Reviews Elance, Freelancer.com, oDesk, Staff.com, TaskRabbit for Business, Toptal, Ziptask. If you need a job done quickly, and cost is your greatest concern, one of the big e-ployment services like Elance, Freelancer, and oDesk are all good bets. If you're looking for a longer-term relationship with a worker, but aren't ready to hire someone full time, one of the smaller firms, like Staff.com or Toptal, may be more compelling. Finally, TaskRabbit's heavy background checking make it an ideal pick when you need someone on-site at your place of business, and you want to be sure they're going to show up come Monday.

That includes farming out temporary work through freelance platforms like Odesk and marketing and product development through creative crowdsourcing platforms like Tongal or Quirky.
