Hello Hubski,
This is a thread I've generated for current/aspiring/(struggling?) freelance workers. If you have a question or advice to offer to others, please add it to the thread.
Bit of background: I'm a UK based audio post and recording engineer, and have been working "alone" for about 7 years. My work has been for a mixture TV, Radio, Music, Games, Online - on high profile and hobby jobs.
I'll come back periodically when I have a titbit that I feel might be useful, rather than write a lengthy tome now.
Edit: I should add that a lot of the skills which have proved invaluable to me are not audio related, but instead form a basis for good ongoing client relations and project management.
OK, I'm coming up on my last year of college, writing for my school's daily student newspaper, and kicking around the idea of trying to make it as a freelance writer after I graduate.
Any freelance writers out there, I'd be interested to hear how you got started in your career.
