The Business of Freelancing: Onward Search Career Cast #22

I recently joined Hillary O'Keefe for the Onward Search Career Cast. The podcast has some great information about careers--especially for those in the creative field. Check out my episode and listen to the others, too--lots of valuable information and the episodes are short!


The Business of Successful Freelance Careers

Onward Search Career Cast, Episode #22

Career Cast Podcast

This episode of Onward Search's Career Cast Podcast takes a look at the business side of a successful career in freelancing, whether it's freelance writing, designing, developing or marketing.

Career Cast guest Kristen Fischer, freelance copywriter, journalist, and author of the new book, "Creatively Self-Employed: How Writers and Artists Deal with Career Ups and Downs", shares valuable insight about what it's like to transition into a freelance career and take on the new requirements that not all creative professionals are familiar with. Kristen discusses how important it is to treat a new freelance career as a business and how to handle the less appealing aspects of a freelance career, like taxes and legal preparations.

If you are considering becoming a freelance designer, writer, etc., this podcast will prepare you to better understand and approach the business side of self-employment.

I, too, am a freelance writer/blogger, and I find your site refreshing, informative, and still entertaining! It's perfect for a gal like me trying to make it in the "real world". Love the colors/layout as well.
