Freelance Friday


Brand yourself

One of the first things you will need to do as a freelancer is decide on a brand for yourself. It might be your name or something more grand. Whatever it is you will need a business identity to work under and for clients to know you as.

Along with your new name you will need a logo, business cards and a website. Remember that you are now a business and all your materials need to be polished and professional. It’s nice to be personal, but don’t let your hobbies, rants or photos into the picture, particularly on your website.

If you’re not a designer yourself, invest the money in someone who knows what they are doing as the difference is immeasurable and the impact of looking professional can make the crucial difference when your potential client hasn’t yet had the chance to know you by your quality of work.
