DESCRIPTION:
I'm really excited to see where Joey's advice will take me this year and beyond. "The future is freelance. Sometimes you need someone to help you with the obvious ways of the business."-- Carlos Weisz, carlosweisz"The strategies got me booked by three new clients, added to the roster for another ten, and made me £7,500 all in one month. I've also doubled my day rate since eighteen months ago and have been busier than ever. I don't work any harder, but I worked and bid a lot smarter in the second half of last year. I'm booked to the gills."-- Jerry Nelson, attackmotiondesign"Joey's knowledge and info helped light a fire under my a** to make the jump from full time to freelance. But that doesn't mean it'll be easy. If you're looking for greater independence while also gaining more control over your lif

"If are considering freelance (or not), you really should read this." according to Pixelmover. I am not freelancing yet, but may soon :). This book does a great job of taking the fear out of the thought of freelancing AND shows one how to do it with a better chance of success. Joeys writing style is free-flowing and it feels like you are listening to a friend explain things to you. I was engaged the whole time. I had freelanced in graphic design a long time ago and wish I would have had a lot of this advice.I did notice how expensive it can get with all the little subscription cloud apps, that is recommended or talked about. It adds up. BUT, if you land jobs, the cost is not really that much of an issue and you write it off anyway. Awesome advice for freelancers and full-timers alike As mentioned by another reviewer, this book covers much the same ground as an amazing course Joey previously taught on his School of Motion website.While I don't currently freelance, I work as a full-time motion graphics artist, the info I got from that course was invaluable.It helped me apply a much more entrepreneurial and considered approach to my career and a lot of the concrete advice on how to find freelance jobs really helped me a great deal when I was looking for full-time work earlier this year.I'd highly recommend this book not just to motion graphics artists, but to anybody working freelance or full-time in a creative field.. Great actionable information for freelancers Joey's freelance advice and sense of humor are two of the best reasons to buy this book. It's got great actionable information that will help you take your freelance career to the next level. Even if you have been freelancing for a while, this book will definitely have some new information for you. It takes less time than you might think to market yourself to new clients. Once you get things rolling, you'll have more work opportunities than you can possibly get done. If you ever wished for a more straightforward way to find work and clients, this is the book for you. It's a step by step system that works.
