My 3 favorite posts from the Sparkplugging archives contain great advice for anyone going into business for themselves. Although the first one is specific to writers, the other two are great reads for any solopreneur.
My first pick is a set of FAQs for new freelance writers. This post covers everything from whether you need a degree to how to find writing gigs. It has a great list of resources to check out and offers some reassurance for beginners wondering if they’ll be able to make a living with freelancing.
My second choice is about acting professional when you’re getting started freelancing. It’s so important to start strong and establish yourself as someone to be taken seriously. No matter what type of services you’re providing, following the advice in this post is a must.
The third post I recommend is about solopreneurs and freedom. So many entrepreneurs start out thinking that being their own boss will mean more time for themselves – and then fall into one of the freedom-limiting traps mentioned in the post. Take a look and see if one of these traps is holding you back. It might give you some ideas about how to grow your business without sacrificing even more of your valuable time.
