sikantis – good call, building confidence is a very important aspect of freelancing. If anybody wants a good blog on esteem, you should really check out Sikantis.net.

Melissa – thanks for visiting the blog! You’re right. While this is a freelance writing blog, most of these posts could be quickly tweaked and used for any kind of freelancing. In fact, if I ever run into other freelancers down the road who would like to write for this site (graphics, techies, illustrators, etc), I wouldn’t mind expanding the ProFreelancing brand to appeal more widely ala Freelance Switch.

This is a great article. Thank you for posting it.

While you are talking specifically about writing, I think it could be applied to any kind of freelancing—including the kind that I do—illustration.

Copes Flavio – Being able to set your own schedule is amazing. But work will always be work sometime or another – I still work when I don’t want to…just not as much (and doing work I enjoy instead of work I’m assigned).

Thursday Bram – You got it…imagine if you could add one stream of passive income each year that could pull in $100/month or more. It adds up!

Stanley – Totally with you. Persevering through trials makes you much stronger than never being faced with a challenge at all.

As for your mistakes, remember that the most successful people are the ones who make the most mistakes.

When they make a mistake, instead of giving up, they simply try something different. Eventually they figure out what works and they’re off to the races.

You make several valuable points in this post, and I think the most important has to be that freelancers should explore passive income opportunities. Most of us got into freelancing for the flexibility it offers — passive income just offers up further options for flexibility.

Nice one, Chad, I really enjoyed reading this post. I’m just starting out as a freelance writer, writing about tech topics, content management systems and so on.

It’s great to see that people like what you write and I enjoy the missing time schedule, so that I can work when I’m inclined to do so and I know I can get better results.
