If you read more than one of the blogs here at the eMoms at Home Internet Home Business Magazine, you may have noticed that we’re all pimping the extremely cool Moo MiniCards.  Perhaps we can blame it all on Halloween, but these little suckers have obviously sucked our brains and turned us into Moo-Militia Zombies [...]

How many of us can relate to this: 
Reason number #___ (fill in appropriate number here) why I became a freelance writer. 
To work in my pajamas. 
Admit it people. The lure of having a job where dressing up is optional—where dressing at all is optional—is pretty strong. Nothing says “I am my own boss” like rolling out [...]

We’ve all heard the statistics about start-ups and small businesses.  There’s a lot of doom-and-gloom out there about the possibility of success.  When we first went to the bank to establish accounts for the Berry-Brewer Freelance Agency, I was surprised when the account manager told us that most entrepreneurs fail because they don’t plan for [...]

Congratulations to Kathy Kehrli, the Irreverent Freelancer.  The random-number generator chose you as the winner of the Freelancing Octopus contest.  I will happily send this little guy on to you if you will provide a mailing address via email at berrybreweradmin (at) gmail (dot) com.  Thanks to everyone who entered. 
 I’ve heard some whisperings that Freelance [...]

First of all, don’t forget to enter the drawing for the Freelancing Octopus.  The deadline is midnight Pacific Time.  Leave a comment on the post and/or link back to Freelance Parent to get entered.

I just don’t get the paradox.  In some ways, this week has been soooo loooong, and in other ways, it has just flown right by!  I mean, it seems like we started the Win Your Very Own Freelancing Octopus contest weeks ago already.  (Speaking of which, you only have a little time left to enter.)  [...]

The time has come when Lorna and I are starting to outgrow our web-based-only work. Don’t get me wrong, I feel that a company/individual freelancer can be perfectly able to keep business running through internet-only means. With the right combination of bidding on freelancing venues, using online marketing, and developing a knock-out website, there is [...]

No matter what type of job you have, there may come a time when you are asked to do something that you just don’t feel is appropriate.  This could range from having your boss request you do something as simple as pick up his dry cleaning (assuming you’re not a Personal Assistant) or as complex [...]

Ask anyone you know who went from being a carefree, childless individual to being a multitasking parent about the transition. Their answer will almost invariably be, “I had no idea it would be so hard.” 
Then ask anyone you know who went from being a salaried professional to being a work-from-home freelancer about the transition. Their [...]

Last week we did our very first interview here at Freelance Parent, and we introduced you to freelance photographer and designer Josh Smith.  We also told you about how Josh creates one-of-a-kind octopus art as a creative way to add income to his freelance business. 
I love the idea of supporting individual artists, so it was obvious [...]
