Curse Of The Freelancer

I wanted to start a little side project called Curse Of The Freelancer. My aim here is to show my experiences of when times can get alittle tricky when freelancing. I have been freelance for many years now, and I honestly wouldn't want to do anything else. It gives me freedom with time, opportunity for more family events, type of client and preferred design direction.

It does, however, come with risks...

In this series I want to share my personal experiences of my freelance wars, as you imagine things are not always plain sailing. I want to show this is a fun way, to help make designers aware of the risks. I do not want this to be seen as a negative overview/vibe of freelance, just more of a realistic one (from my perspective).

01.
Payment Terms of 45 Days.

Alot of my bigger clients have a 45 days payment term, which can be quite a burden with cash flow and organsiation of time/allowance. Its good in respect that money will be coming in (EVENTUALLY), but it doesn't help the here and now.

My Solution.
I have found that if you take on a few smaller sized clients (possibly start up's) then this helps the cashflow. It also helps take away all the focus on one project and keeps the creativity alive.

I hope this will be a good source and if I can help in anyway I would see this as a success. I am also open to hear other freelancers stories too.

I have many more designs/explanations I am working on, so do keep posted over the next few weeks.
