Grisly Freelance Death Traps

For most of you out there who are either fairly new to freelancing jobs or who are seriously considering jumping in, a big question may still remain of whether you will be able to make it or not. The answer is that EVERYONE can succeed in freelancing, however, many do not. Unfortunately for those who do not succeed, they do not realize that many factors that cause them to fail are within their own control. The key is to recognize what these factors are and take the right steps to control them. In this article, I'm going to focus on the factors that will cause the bloody death of your freelance career (and has caused for many other). The next week's article will focus on the Freelance Life Lines for your career. The following are the five death traps you want to avoid when starting out in freelance. If you are already in your freelance career, then pay attention. This just may save you. Death Trap #1: Not having a backup plan or backup source of income Speaking from experience, most freelancers will not have an idea of what freelancing is really like until they complete their first year... and that is a big IF they complete their first year. Therefore, you would be taking a huge risk if you decide to suddenly decide to tell your boss to go to #!@% off and think you can continue to earn your income by freelancing. As a newcomer to the freelance world, you will need a period of adjustment to get used to the demands of it. I won't go into depth of these demands here, but to name a few, there are high/low workloads, customer/client service (yes, you have to keep them happy) and invoicing/collections.
