I just change office. That’s right, no longer work in the piece that was next to my room. Now I have new office: the living room. For a variety of reasons (being the principal in the living room there is less noise micros), hold all my stuff and I change piece. Within my house, of course.
I worked my whole life from my house, except for the 3 years I was Chief of Image maker Dreamer. This has allowed me to go making a mental list of what is necessary (technically, professionally and animation) for a day of successful freelance work exchange from home.
Let me translate some recommendations, and additionally add one other point of my own experience.
1. Never find freelance web designers to earn a Tender:
If you are asked to send a quote / budget proposal with graphics including my advice is to never do it. In the best case lost a lot of hours that you never paid, in the worst case magically appear on your proposal ideas in the final draft – although you have not been the winner of the tender. I quit years ago, and I was never brought problems.
2. Taxes? Spare?
Remember that you’re now an office. If you can, consignee an accountant helps you manage your taxes and manage your sales / costs / investments. Nor forget to health. Try to collect enough to have a good health plan. Remember that you transfer the cost to the customer. If you need a connection 8 Mbps to work as you require, charged that. Cobra everything.
3. Computers Stay away!
If you do not worry, you’ll spend all day, every day, at home. Whenever I’m cloudy with any project (can not be good to be watching the same thing for 5 hours), I got the bike, or take a walk for 45 minutes and when I return I could think about what I did, my eyes ( and my mind) resumed and usually I get back to the draft deal with new eyes.When I began picking up freelance work, I had to manage my time creatively . I don’t have to use one eye to watch him and the other to read the computer. It also serves (if such a hurry) stop of the chair, give you a tour of the kitchen and look at things from another point of view (literally pirate the jack of the piece, look from a corner, etc.).
what could give us good advice?? I’d love to hear if you have more tips that I may have forgotten,you want to share.
