I had to share this because I second his thoughts on freelance topics at WordCamps. I love freelance talks and would enjoy seeing more hands-on instructional type, sans inspirational and bigger picture stuff. I want that granular knowledge.
Don’t just give me concepts, give me real practical tools and tips I can use everyday as a freelancer.
Sample topic structure that Chris is suggesting:
- Staffing
- Client selection
- Pricing
- Contracts
- Scheduling
- Communication
- Project Management
- Execution
- Relationships (post-deliverables)
- Branding
Read the whole post titled “Pressnomics Everywhere” on ChrisLema.com.
Oh how I agree! I’ve been asking for this since I started attending over 2 years ago. The concepts are great, but I’d love, LOVE, L-O-V-E to know HOW to apply/do the things we’re shown.
Let’s hope we see this in the very near future!
And thanks for your tips at #wcsd!
