1. ESTIMATE PROJECTS WITH A LITTLE LESS PRECISION- by Marnie Pehrson ... Contact her at her site

Always build in a cushion for yourself when giving an estimate.

The benefits to teaming up with other individuals and/or businesses are seemingly endless and can apply to many situations and settings.

A successful freelance career is a balancing act.

Until recently, most of us thought cool graphics, clean code and content were the main keys to a successful site. Now we are realizing that navigation is the area of web design that can make or break a site.

You can now search the entire allfreelancework site for articles, by author, subject, etc. Try it out here : http://www.allfreelancework.com/art_search.php
