The Well-Fed Freelancer: A Survival Guide in 24 Easy Lessons,
2071

Business and Legal, Lecture

Francois Dominic Laramée
Freelance Designer,
While business opportunities for freelancers in the game industry have grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years, actually making a living as a full- time freelancer still requires a great deal of preparation and effective strategy.

This presentation discusses the tricks and techniques developed by the speaker over six years of successful (albeit occasionally stressful) freelancing experience. Topics to be discussed include prioritizing, self- marketing, managing the freelancer's finances, and acclimatizing oneself to the realities of the freelancing market.

How to decide what services you sell, and to whom. How to protect your financial security despite the lack of regular paychecks. How to maximize the return on your marketing effort. How to avoid the pitfalls associated with a home-based business, especially the temptation of procrastination.
