Building your online resources
while freelancing with care
We all start with something, somewhere as freelancers. We usually begin by searching for freelance jobs and then freelancing tools online, with a stress on free and accessible. In the process, we continue to build our list of freelancing tools as we find ourselves go back to them time and again. And how privileged we are whenever colleagues freely share with us the helpful tools that they too discover online! This page now serves as a database of freelancing tools, particularly the ones that pertain to print, publishing, and yes, freelancing.
If you're a freelancer (or hoping to be one someday) involved in these areas and are looking for online resources--freelance jobs, going rates, associations, comprehensive tax guidelines, continuing education plus certification, precaution against online job scams, basic PC troubleshooting tips, free websites, and other references for your freelance work in print and publishing--then welcome to this page! The list gets longer, but no rush reading. Feel free to visit the page during your copious hours.
Happy freelancing! ;-)
