Whether you\u2019re a writer, designer, or any other type of freelancer, you\u2019re likely to encounter an abundance of advice. This advice is often touted as essential for your freelancing journey. However, just like some popular blogging tips<\/a> can mislead you, certain freelancing advice can be ineffective as well.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to freelancing, you\u2019ll probably start your career<\/a> with some research \u2013 something you absolutely should do. You\u2019ll use Google, read numerous freelancing blogs, and consult with experienced freelancers to find the best practices<\/a> in the industry.<\/p>\n

While doing this, you\u2019re likely to come across certain pieces of advice repeatedly. These tips often sound great on the surface, but they might not be effective in practice. Let\u2019s dive into some of these freelance tips<\/a> that you might want to reconsider following.<\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t Make Your Bedroom Your Office<\/h2>\n

When I first began freelancing, everyone told me not to make my bedroom my office. Ironically, I didn\u2019t even have a proper desk at that time; I either worked in bed or at the dining table. Eventually, I did get a desk, but it ended up in my bedroom.<\/p>\n

\"Avoid<\/figure>\n

The rationale behind this common advice is well-intentioned: working in bed can be detrimental to your posture and overall work environment. A few hours in, and you\u2019ll find yourself struggling to stay productive.<\/p>\n

However, not every freelancer starting out has the resources to designate a separate workspace at home<\/a>. Thus, this well-meaning advice often becomes impractical for those on a budget.<\/p>\n

Adapting to Your Space<\/h3>\n

If you find yourself working from your bedroom due to limitations, there are ways to make it more conducive to work. For starters, sit upright and consider using a portable table for your laptop. Make it a habit to stand and stretch every 30 minutes to fend off sluggishness.<\/p>\n

If you have a desk in your room, position it near a window for natural light. If that\u2019s not possible, arrange the desk in such a way that your back faces the bed while you work. Adding a low-maintenance plant can also enhance your workspace aesthetics, which is crucial when you\u2019re tight on space.<\/p>\n

When possible, aim to work outside your bedroom, like at the dining table or kitchen. After all, that\u2019s where the coffee is!<\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t Work for Free<\/h2>\n

Starting out in freelancing often comes with a catch-22: you need a portfolio to attract clients, but to build a portfolio<\/a>, you need work. This leads many new freelancers to consider working for free initially, especially for the first few clients.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/figure>\n

However, conventional freelancing wisdom advises against this. The argument is that working for free devalues your skills and sets a poor standard for future payment. So how do you go about building your portfolio without compromising your worth?<\/p>\n

Strategies for Building Your Portfolio<\/h3>\n

Rather than giving your services away for free, consider other approaches. One option is to create sample projects on your own to showcase your skills. Alternatively, you can offer your services to a non-profit organization. This not only adds credibility to your portfolio but also gives you the chance to obtain glowing testimonials. Non-profits often greatly appreciate the help, making this a win-win situation for both parties.<\/p>\n

3. Always Take a Deposit<\/h2>\n

When I was just starting out, I rarely requested deposits from clients \u2013 something I still don\u2019t always do unless the project is particularly large. While it\u2019s true that a deposit can serve as a safeguard against non-payment, it\u2019s not always practical to turn away clients who are reluctant to pay one.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/figure>\n

Yes, I\u2019ve been left unpaid once, and I recognize the value of securing a deposit upfront. However, the feasibility of this advice often depends on your business model and your relationship with the client. For large-scale projects, I usually discuss the risks involved and most clients are willing to send over an initial deposit, often 20% or another agreed-upon amount.<\/p>\n

Strategies for Securing Payment<\/h3>\n

One approach to minimize risk is to retain some control over the finished project until you receive full payment. For example, if you\u2019re working on a design project, you could include a watermark on the final product. If it\u2019s a website theme or template, send screenshots as a preview. For writing projects, consider releasing the content only after the client has approved the draft and completed the payment.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the type of work you do, find a way to either mark your work or withhold some element of it until you\u2019re fully compensated.<\/p>\n

4. Have a Freelancing Contract<\/h2>\n

One piece of advice almost universally given to freelancers is to never work without a contract. Despite this, many freelancers, myself included, have operated without one. The legal intricacies can be intimidating, especially for those new to freelancing.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/figure>\n

New freelancers often can\u2019t wait to dive into their projects and think, \u201cWhy bother with a contract when I don\u2019t even have clients yet?\u201d Once a client does come along, the excitement can easily make you overlook the need for a contract.<\/p>\n

Another barrier is the discomfort of discussing a contract when things seem to be progressing well. While it\u2019s true that having a contract is wise, the reality is that a significant number of freelancers operate without one.<\/p>\n

Finding Alternatives to Contracts<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re not keen on using a formal contract, at least make sure to communicate with your client via email. After every phone conversation, send a follow-up email summarizing what was discussed and ask if anything was missed or misunderstood. While not legally binding like a contract, these emails can serve as written records of your agreements.<\/p>\n

If any issues arise, you can refer back to these emails to clarify what was initially agreed upon regarding rates, scope, and payment terms. To further protect yourself, send a comprehensive email outlining all the finalized details once an agreement is reached.<\/p>\n

5. Charge What You\u2019re Worth<\/h2>\n

The internet is awash with advice for freelancers to charge what they\u2019re worth, arguing that the clients you attract are directly related to your rates. While the concept sounds good on paper, it\u2019s not always practical for new freelancers who might not even be aware of the going rates in their field, let alone their own worth. This understanding typically evolves as you gain more experience and confidence.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/figure>\n

Finding Your Rate Comfort Zone<\/h3>\n

As a newcomer, setting your rates according to industry standards might be more realistic than charging what you think you\u2019re worth. To determine these standard rates, engage with other freelancers in your niche via platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn. Some freelancers disclose their rates on their websites, which can give you a good starting point.<\/p>\n

If you find freelancers who don\u2019t list their rates, don\u2019t hesitate to reach out and ask them directly. While some may be protective of this information, many are open to sharing. Online freelancing forums<\/a> are also an excellent source of rate information, where asking openly often garners plenty of helpful responses.<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n

One of the joys of freelancing is adaptability. If a certain piece of advice doesn\u2019t fit your situation, you have the flexibility to find a workaround or optimize your circumstances without being exploited. So, have you ever received freelancing advice that simply didn\u2019t resonate with you?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
