The problem with freelancing is you spend a lot of unpaid time lining up jobs. Does that really pay off?

- svennek 9y agoBut that is why your rates are (hopefully) so much higher than an employee... Rule of thumb, your business should be viable at 50% billed time...
- dep_b 9y agoI spend a lot of spare time doing work for previous customers while being on a full-time project at the same time. Keeping multiple customers warm is a must. All paid though. A few weeks of not having a full-time engagement means finally being able to clear out the backlog and enjoying long weekends. Every year I take an unpaid break for over a month around the holiday season. I love it but it always is a bit scary to be away from customers at the same time.
