And as a freelancer myself, I approve! Businesses hire freelance talent to absorb ebbs and flows in activity or to fill talent gaps that are essential but not required every day. Businesses are all about returns on investments, though, so the big question becomes, how can you get the most from your investment in freelance talent?

If you want to make a career of writing, should you look for a full-time job in a company or strike out on your own as a freelancer? I’ve done both and have come to the conclusion that freelancing is what I like best. Just because freelancing is best for me doesn’t mean it’s best for everyone. Good question.

The announcer impressed me in part because he managed a skill I think every freelancer should have: how to work with a team of headstrong individuals, all of whom have different talents, without anyone wanting to kill him at the end of the show.

You’ll be relaxing your way to a freelance business that lets you breathe and still pay the bills. There are a lot of freelancers who have trouble saying no (which you haven’t, you’ll note), and they tend to be people-pleasers that want others to like them and think they’re helpful. Ah, the rush job.

You’ll be on your way to enjoying a freelance business that brings you more of what you want in no time. Many new freelancers fall into the common trap into of believing that taking on more work for less money is just as good as earning more money for less work. Sounds like a win to me. But you also have to enjoy the quiet.

I think this is the thing writers don’t get when they’re thinking about freelancing. A lot of the guys selling get-rich-quick copywriting ebooks don’t make a living as a freelance copywriter, just like a lot of the guys selling information about real estate investing don’t make a living as a real estate investor.
