Spud’s Thoughts:

For some of us who choose a changemaking career, it involves a lot of freelance work. In my early days, I found freelancing (web design, graphics, curriculum design, etc) to be a great way to make money and still have lots of free time to work on my ventures. The challenge was that I had a LOT to learn on how to best manage my freelancing career and ended up making it all up as I went. Freelancer Union helps remove some of those unknowns. One of my favorite things about their site is a list of resources you can look through – which helps when writing contracts, finding insurance, and everything in between unique to freelancers.
