I’ve been freelancing more or less for about 10 years now and I can tell you that it’s not for everyone. Unless you are really on top of marketing yourself, the pipeline can dry up real fast. The Harvard Business School has posted an excellent article that is targeted for anyone who is contemplating becoming a freelancer. It talks about the must-do’s, when to freelance, networking, prospects as well as other things that most freelancers don’t consider—vacation. The thing I disliked when I was freelancing as a full-time job was that I couldn’t enjoy my vacations as much because I new there wasn’t money coming in while I was “relaxing” despite having money in the bank.
