Amazingly, one-third of the American workforce is
freelance—that’s 42 million people who have to wrestle with
not just doing the work, but finding the work, then getting
paid for the work, plus health care, taxes, setting up an
office, marketing, and so on. Now help is here, and
consultants, independent contractors, the self-employed,
“solopreneurs,” and everyone else living a freelancer’s life
will never be alone again but instead can be part of a
strong and vibrant community.
Written by the
authority on freelance working, Sara Horowitz, MacArthur
“Genius” Fellow and founder of the national Freelancers
Union and, most recently, the Freelancers Insurance Company,
The Freelancer’s Bible will help those new to
freelancing learn the ropes, and will help those who’ve been
freelancing for a while grow and expand. It’s the one-stop,
all-encompassing guide to every practical detail and
challenge of being a nimble, flexible, and successful
freelancer: the three essentials of getting clients and the
three most important ways to keep them happy. Five
fee-setting strategies. Thirteen tactics for making it
through a prolonged dry spell. Setting up a home office vs.
renting space. The one-hour contract. A dozen negotiating
dos and don’ts. Building and maintaining your reputation.
Dealing with deadbeats. Health Insurance 101. Record-keeping
and taxes. Productivity, including a quiz: “What Is Your
Ideal Day?” Building a community. Subcontracting and other
strategies for taking your freelancing career to the next
level. Retirement plans, plans for saving for education, and
how to achieve financial freedom.
