The business of freelancing

Freelance Switch, a community and resource for freelancers of all ilks, has begun a new series on The Business of Freelancing.

While the site tends to draw a freelance crowd that’s not full of ADR professionals, there’s relevant information for any mediator striking out into solo private practice and not yet comfortable with the business aspects of running your own show.

They described the series this way and as of today are two days into it:

“For many of us freelancers, while we love what we do, freelancing in the context of running a business can seem a bit intimidating. All the stuff about taxes, accounting and superannuation can leave you a bit non-plussed if like me, you’re more creative and technical.

Happily Shane Pearlman, from the new blog ShaneandPeter.com is here to help. Over the next few weeks he will shed light on all these nasty issues that can stop us from truly living the freelance dream. Next week, Shane will share a series of tips with us - bite size morsels of wisdom if you will, to help us with the business of freelancing.”
