This morning we had a very informative session with Lauren Adams exploring all the benefits of becoming a freelancer as we will soon be in the territory of deciding our chosen path.
The session then moved on to 'why' we should become a freelancer this included points such as:
Additional income
Flexibility
Develop and apply key skills
Enhance your CV
Works best for industry
We then discussed our unique selling points, what makes us different? and what helps us to stand out from the crowd. This then developed into looking at 'Knowing your customer' and understanding their needs.
Pricing is the most difficult part of freelancing. Lauren spoke to us about understanding our own worth and pricing strategies. As we looked into this further we looked at 'day rates', 'fixed pricing', and fixed contracts.
