Chantal Lyner wrote a new blog post: Freelance rates 2 years, 1 month ago
Deciding your rate as a freelancer requires serious planning. You don’t want to overcharge or undercharge for the work that you deliver. Although there is not one correct formula, there are a few things to consider when calculating your rate. Since there are many freelancers in a variety of business fields, it is important to [...]

Right, you have prepared a killer portfolio of your work. Now what? How do people get to find out about you? More often than not, many freelancers battle to market themselves. They think the art of persuasion is best left to the high earning sales executives. Not true! When it comes to the art of selling [...]-
Hi Chantal. I looked for a page for FreelanceZA on Facebook. Can’t see one. Both Mark, from Outback Africa and I find that these page things work well.

Doing freelance work while working a 9 – 5 job holds two benefits. First, it diversifies your income stream. You no longer have a single salary to pay your bills. Even if your company downsizes and you are affected by a company wide retrenchment, the side income softens the blow. Secondly, freelancing for clients is [...]

I think we are reading off the same page. I’ve always beaten the drum that freelancers need at least two income streams. The savings accumulated during the peaks of income when you are working usually don’t quite cover the troughs when you are not working and looking for the next job.
