Filed under: Freelancing Tips, How To, employer, freelancer
Freelancing is a very rewarding career path – your time is yours, you choose your projects and you have no boss to tell you what you should and shouldn’t do. There are many benefits of being a freelancer; and with the economic down turn in the recent months, taking the reigns on your own career is a wise move in this time of pink slips and downsizing.
I have been freelancing since I graduated college. In fact, I have been taking small writing assignments and projects when I was in college to help me augment my allowance.

Filed under: Freelancing Tips, How To, employer, freelancer, humor
If you have ever thought of hiring a freelancer, but have been nervous about doing so, due to trust issues, don’t be.
- First, if a freelancer wants to be rehired, they will not burn their bridges. In fact, a common goal of freelancing is to find repeat clients.
- Second, surefirehire has a rating system in place, similar to Ebay. Check the freelancer’s previous comments and rating.
- Lastly, draw up a contract, or leverage from an existing contract that states what exactly you are trusting the freelancer with and the terms.
I hope this helps to ease your concerns. Get started today.
I also ask, if you are a freelancer, please comment.
Employers: Price is not the only consideration when hiring a freelancer
If you select a freelancer on price only, other variables in the hiring process may be overlooked.
Building on a previous blog where I wrote about how to set yourself apart as a freelancer, here is another tip to help employers find a freelancer with soft-skills that can’t be measured by monetary valuation.
When you consider hiring a freelancer, several thoughts probably enter your mind. In fact, according to several employers we have polled on “How to Hire a Freelancer”, reliability is a top consideration for hiring a freelancer.
When hiring through surefirehire, where talented experts can be hired, verify their feedback or testimonials if any, to ascertain how reliable they may turn out to be, before hiring a freelancer.
If you have not created an account with surefirehire, consider hiring freelancers on the surefirehire platform!
