I’m a believer in doing pro bono work to get your name out there. It certainly won’t serve you to have a full load of pro bono work, but I like to always be working on one pro bono job if I can. It gets my name out there to people, and you wind up with very grateful new contacts. Many non-profit organizations have boards made up of very successful business-people who might need a freelancer and have the money to pay you! And besides all that, it just feels good to volunteer!

This was a great post! Very helpful points you brought up. I can definitely see how I can utilize some of these. I have done some freelancing in the past but it was not by choice to be honest – people were just sending me clients. But I had not decided to get heavily involved in freelancing. I’m changing my direction now and have decided to get more involved in the field … so this has helped me a lot :)
