Questions:
[0:16] What does freelancing mean to you? I mean, what do you think when you hear that word, “freelance”?
[0:58] So why did you chose to go freelance in the first place? Why not full-time somewhere?
[2:32] What’s it take to become a freelancer? What important qualities do you need to have you think?
[4:44] How would you say you manage your time as a freelancer?
[5:26] OK serious question, can anyone become a freelancer? Can anyone just jump in?
[6:01] Can you make a lot of money freelancing?
[6:09] How do you charge your clients? Do you go hourly, weekly, project base, or what?
[7:34] But say someone is set on hourly I and came up with the great idea on a walk, or in the shower. How do you bill for your “thinking?”
[8:32] Do you use contracts or any type of agreements?
[8:59] Which term do you prefer? Freelancer, contractor, independent, studio of one? Any preference?
[9:35] How do you handle the unknowns of freelancing? It had to be scary, not knowing if you’d have a job next month or next week even.
[10:21] But at least full-time you have job security, right?
[10:38] Why shouldn’t someone become a freelancer?
[11:05] OK, why should someone become a freelancer?
