How does a freelancer do it?
The first thing to note is a freelancer must wear many hats in order to be a success. As a freelancer I am the CEO, CFO, COO, Marketing Director, Consultant, and Employee all at once. As such I am responsible for every aspect of making my business successful.
I am in charge of ensuring a steady flow of incoming business
I manage the entire financial aspect of my business
I am responsible for all operations (sales, customer support, technical support, design, development and delivery, customer retention... etc)
There is quite a bit more but no need to drone on and on
What a freelancer can offer you
That being said one of my favorite things about what I do is providing a service that is just as good if not better than a large corporation for a lesser price (usually substantially). Freelancers in general have a measure of flexibility in what they must charge for their services. This means we can cater to a larger audience, provide services to those who might otherwise not be able to afford them and work with our clients to ensure they get exactly what they are seeking for a reasonable price. I love that there is absolutely no price gouging in what I do (I detest price gouging).
Freelancers are able to deliver a level of personal service that is unprecedented in the corporate environment. How often to you get to get to know the CEO of a company you are purchasing services from? You can rest assured that your freelancer truly has your businesses best intentions at heart (well I can't speak for everyone, but that's generally the consensus). A freelancer takes a personal interest in each of their clients and finds the best solution possible. It is a beautiful thing.
Enjoy!
