Tips for going freelance






Get a good accountant Cheap St.Louis Blues Jerseys ,



If they are good they will save you far more than you will pay them. They know all the things you can and can't claim for, and will save you money in the long run.





Create a website



Even if web design isn't your specialty a web portfolio is a simple way to point potential clients to your work.





Write speculative letters to potential clients with a reference to your website and follow up a few days later with a phone call.





Approach design agencies, to see if they require holiday cover or an extra pair of hands when things get busy. Work with design agencies tends to be easier to get than work for direct clients





Contact previous employers



Previous employers may have freelance design work and would be happy to give it to you, as they know your work.





Set up a job book



As soon as you get new job in put it in the job book with date, client Vladimir Sobotka Hat , job description, quote amount, and invoice date. This makes invoicing much easier at the end of the month





Keep a work in progress list



It is very easy to forget a job if you are busy. Keep a work in progress list and cross jobs off as you complete them and add to it as new jobs come in. Keep a note beside each job when it is due.





Meet deadlines



Don't promise to meet deadlines that you know you can't. It is better to decline a job than accept it and not deliver it on time.





Do the best job you can



Your reputation is based on the last job you did for a client. Do a good job and you may get recommended to someone else. The design world tends to be quite close knit so you want to make a good name for yourself.





Don't worry if you go quiet



If work goes quiet don't panic. Trying ringing around to see if any one has any work and send out some more letters and email enquiries. But don't panic, you'll regret not enjoying that quiet time when you are so busy you have to work late all the next week and weekend.





Pay yourself a set wage



If you can pay yourself a set wage just as though you were employed, this means when you have a good money you leave some money in the bank and when you have a bad one you can still afford to pay yourself.
