Manchester friends 👋 DoingItForTheKids have a meet-up happening next month. There are still some tickets available and I’ve heard there will be biscuits. eventbrite.co.uk/e/doing-it-for…

This looks good from @freelancermagz. A practical lunchtime online workshop run by Anxiety Coach Ashleigh Frater on Mental Health Awareness Day. buff.ly/48lTomV

Two posts in one day. What is this? 2010? I just wanted to bring your attention to this meet-up happening in Manchester next month with the DoingItForTheKids community. eventbrite.co.uk/e/doing-it-for…

Freelancers, can you please answer a few questions about your experience with late or non payment? iter.ly/8k1h5

This is shaping up to be a good event. If you’re in Birmingham on Thursday check out Fusion. Good luck to our customer, https://front-end.social/@chrisdavidmills, who is speaking!

When did you last put your prices up? Mindset can be the biggest thing holding freelancers back from charging their worth. withjack.co.uk/why-its-defini…

“Our finding suggest that freelancers who have a clear area of expertise are more likely to experience annual revenue boosts of 26% or higher.” — Intuit Mailchimp benchmark report for freelancers.

Our data backs this up, too. Freelancers with a narrower focus seem to earn more.

Some good stuff in this episode around client / freelancer expectations. Don’t just tell the client what they can expect from you—tell them what YOU expect from THEM. On multiple occasions. During the sales call, client onboarding etc. Loud and clear. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/fre…

This article from Rachel Andrew is 9 years old, but it’s full of good advice for devs.

- inform clients if terminating subs due to non-payment and explain how they can reinstate
- make sure you’ve advised your clients about having a back-up strategy

My name is Chris Higgins, and I’m a freelancer.

Believe it or not, it’s taken me a looooooong time to admit that. Well over a decade, in fact.
