Long-Term Considerations for Freelance Designers
Working as a freelance designer is appealing to a lot of people because of the flexibility and independence. Freelancing also can provide designers in a wide variety of situations with a way to earn a living, and in some cases the experience that is gained becomes just as valuable as the income. However, freelancing for the long-term presents some unique challenges that should be considered from the start.In this article we'll take a look at 10 things that should be considered before you start freelancing full-time, and hopefully they will help you to be better prepared in case freelancing turns out to be a long-term job.1. Is Freelancing a Temporary or Long-Term Part or Your Career Path?
Everyone has different reasons for freelancing. For some it can be a starting point that allows them to build their experience and their reputation in the industry before a transition to working as an employee at a design agency or as an in-house designer. For others freelancing may be a short-term solution after losing a job. And for some freelancing may be a long-term part of their career.Freelancing is capable of serving all of these purposes, but it is important to consider what you want to get out of your time and effort freelancing. If it is a short-term solution that you hope will serve as a springboard to a full-time job you will probably approach it much differently than if you plan to still be freelancing 10 years from now. If you're leaning towards that long-term approach there are a lot of things you should consider, and that's what we'll look at here.Original Link: http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/business/long-term-freelancing/
