So im going to try and get some freelance work once i've set myself up..
Anyone got any advise for starting out? Im working on writing a contract, invoice etc, found several good articles and books.
What is your process with a client? I was planning along the lines of initial meeting/phone call to discuss possibility of job... send them a brief sheet/questionnaire to collect all the relevant information. When that has been received send them the estimate and contract and request 50% payment up front. start work when payment is received.. get them to sign off when job is complete then send final invoice for rest of payment.
Does this sound about right, am i missing anything?
How do you work out timescales for a job? Do you normally ask them when they want it done by, or tell them when you will have it done? How do you estimate how long it will take you?
Thanks in advance for any wise words. :up:
