Many freelancers begin with few contacts, and no understanding of how to grow them. They often struggle with the legal complexities of contracts, the complications of tax and accounting issues, and the steep learning curve behind business negotiations. Unlike employees, freelancers have to be their own marketing department, accounts department, legal department, and creative department.
In the face of this challenge, many flounder and panic.
Freelancing 101 serves as an intensive training platform for freelancers to overcome these issues. The workshops create interaction with peers, advice from the successfully self-employed, and feedback from the companies that employ their services. Each workshop brings opportunities for freelancers to present the issues they face, and to grow their networks. This October, we are excited to bring you a new edition of Freelancing 101 bootcamp, where we focus on social media and digital marketing.
