It has been said time and time again that we as people all learn from our mistakes, but would it not be better to learn from someone else’s mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes ourselves. If you are going to be successful at freelance web design, you are going to need to know all of the ins and outs of the industry.
Although many people find the topic of money difficult to discuss, it is an extremely important part of being successful. If you are good at what you do and have the experience to back it up, you have the right to a fair price. Be sure not to sell yourself too cheap when charging by the hour, a job that only takes a small amount of time to execute may take years of experience to be able to complete.
Do not spend too much time doing work for a single client. As a freelance web designer, you need time to promote and network to secure work in the future. If one client takes too much of your time you will have no backup. Keep four to five contracts that overlap and a little extra so if you lose one you are not set back too bad.
