10 Woes of the Freelance Creative Pro

1

OK, so. When it comes to running your own small business, many people tend to think of “freelancing” as a dirty word. Personally, I really don’t see the difference.  Small business, freelance business, entrepreneurship… they all mean the same thing to me, and that is- YOU WORK FOR YOURSELF! Get it?  You and you alone are the Big Kahuna, you call the shots, you run the day...

How to Become Self Employed (And When to Do It)

H

This is a guest post by Aimee Sway.  Self employment isn’t a cakewalk and anyone who tells you otherwise is probably only out to take your money. That said, I feel there are a ton of rewards that more than make up for all the not so easy stuff.  But it’s hard to make that initial decision of “should you or shouldn’t you” sometimes.  Hopefully Aimee’s thoughts...

Get an O for Outstanding and Awaken Your Inner Entrepreneur

G

Let’s face it folks—standing out and being an excellent and successful entrepreneur is harder than it sounds. I mean sure, it looks easy as pie on paper, but reality is often quite a bit different than what the textbooks tell you. Sure it sounds pretty awesome, and often is. No boss, no corporate culture, no need to put in 8 plus hours of work in a drab office every day, surrounded by snippy...

Let’s Talk Money- Knowing What You’re Worth is Worth More Than Ya Know

L

As a freelance writer, blogging fiend entrepreneur (yes I know that’s not a word, neither is the next) and moonlighting ghostblogger, I know the inherent risks that are associated with working for people you only meet over the Internet. Some folks are only too willing to brand me crazy for agreeing to take on a job that isn’t as secure as the paper-pushing, desk-occupying work that they are...

Time to Get Your Lazy, Procrastinating A%! Off of the Couch… Or Wait… Maybe I Mean Me?

T

We all have those days. Those days where we let laziness and procrastination get the best of us. Those days where you don’t want to out of bed and pull back those curtains quite yet. You don’t want to start the day, preferring instead to prolong the warm fuzzy moments you stay curled up like a caterpillar underneath the covers. You want to skip breakfast and even forsake a shower and (gasp)… a...

Photo by RP Blakely (Side Note: This is sort of a continuance of the list building theme from the last post. What can I say, I’m on a kick.) If you’ve been observing the online business community these past few years, you immediately notice that the power of the Internet has been spreading like wildfire when it comes to entrepreneurs and small business owners getting their ‘message’ out to the...

List building- the Life Blood of a Web-Based Entrepreneur… ‘Fo Schizzle’!

L

People tell me all the time that they waste so much writing paper because of the many lists that they have to make. Some folks, for example, need reams and reams of note paper plus different-sized and colored Post-Its to keep track of all the things that they do every day. From the moment they wake up, they busy themselves crossing out the things in their list that they have already accomplished...

Top 28 Coolest Tools to Monitor Your Brand in Like…Ever!

Photo by Dustin Diaz First up- a fracken disclaimer because you know I need one: I am NOT a doctor, a psychologist, or any other thing that ends in “ist”. So take whatever I say next with a grain of salt, not as gospel truth. Kay? They say that there’s a difference between hearing and listening.
