The Sad Truth About Freelancing

WARNING: This post will contain hurtful words. So if you are a sensitive she-male, then stop reading immediately.This topic is all about the sad truth of the freelancing world.

You have probably found this page because you have just started to do freelance work and shit that's similar to that. Now, you are probably looking up for some little tips from the pros on how to be successful on this field so let me give my two cents in.

1. You have to be extremely talented whatever that is your doing. Average is not enough. If you're average, then just go home, look for a job online or walk-in to companies and get a stable job.
2. You have to be as patient as shit
3. You must have a never-ending drive to learn stuff and shit on your own.
4. A decent internet connection.

Do I even need to justify my points? Ok then. I'll be doing this by paragraph.

To be successful in the freelancing field, you must be really great, almost perfect. Average will not get you anywhere aside from a few small-time projects. But if you are also number 3, then it would work. But I'm telling you now, that there's a few people who's number 3.

Patience! Ah, fuck waiting. It's hard to be patient when you're doing all this freelance stuff (samples to show prospected clients). When I was in freelancing there were times that I tell myself "What the hell? I have been working my ass off doing all these samples and promoting this shit online and contacting possible clients but there's still no feedbacks or any shit. Should I stop doing this nonsense?" Of course at first I was still a little optimistic. But as the time passed, I decided to drop the ball and as you all know, I am now the "Corporate Sellout".

Why is a never-ending drive to learn stuff important? It's because time flies by so fast, new techniques and shit in your filed is developing every now and then. With that said, you must always be in the know of what's hot and what's not. Clients are also aware of trends mind you.

Lastly, most freelance stuff are best promoted online. Plus a lot more of other stuffs like talking to clients, creating facebook pages, twitters about this shit and stuff. That's why you need an internet connection.

So with that, I know that I've shared a piece of my knowledge. I am confident that you've learned something new from me, the "Corporate Sellout". You're welcome.
