Dear Feisworld Listeners,  Welcome to our new Mini Series called the 2017 Freelancer's Starter Kit!  When I introduce myself as a podcaster to new friends on and off of the show, the most frequently asked questions is, "Are you a full time podcaster?"  The answer is: No.  I am a freelancer. Specifically, I work as a digital marketer and project manager when I'm not recording for Feisworld. And I love what I do.  This mini series is an attempt to build upon #freelanceLIVE, a 10-day series I recorded on our Facebook page in 2016, which has over 10,000 views.  To respect everyone's time, we will limit each episode to be between 5-10 minutes.  We will cover popular topics related to freelancing from "Getting Started" to "Being in the Trenches": Freelancers vs. Entrepreneurs How to Get Started When You Have No Idea Questions You Need to Ask Yourself (before freelancing) Myth and Truth Health Insurance for Freelancers How to Get Clients (approach and close a client) Rapid-fire Questions from Listeners Spotting Good vs. Bad Clients Best Tools, Resources for Freelancers (contracts, invoicing, time tracking) Getting Stuff Done! (GSD) All the resources mentioned in this series including people, links, workbooks can be found right here on feisworld.com/freelance.  Talk soon, Fei
