Amazingly, one-third of the American workforce is freelanceβthatβs 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, βsolopreneurs,β and everyone else living a freelancerβs 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 βGeniusβ Fellow and founder of the national Freelancers Union and, most recently, the Freelancers Insurance Company, The Freelancerβs Bible will help those new to freelancing learn the ropes, and will help those whoβve been freelancing for a while grow and expand. Itβs 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 donβts. Building and maintaining your reputation. Dealing with deadbeats. Health Insurance 101. Record-keeping and taxes. Productivity, including a quiz: βWhat Is Your Ideal Day?β Building a community.
