This is the first entry of my new blog called selfunemployed.biz. It would have been a .com or .net but they are both being cyber-squatted upon and so are not available and besides, .biz, while certainly not one of the big three in terms of domain name registration, seems perfectly suited for a blog of this kind.
What am I doing here? I’ve been told by many photography consultants, my peers and other blogs and pundits that I need to have a blog. I have started them in the past only to realize that I don’t have anything to say so what makes this one different? On the subject of being self employed and dealing with everything from collecting payment, invoicing, dealing with cash flow issues etc., I am an expert.
Having been self employed all my life (my parents never had day jobs so I blame them…), I know what it is like to be busy as hell one week and dead the next. I know what it is like when clients or prospects try to get more for less, leave out crucial pieces of information until it is too late, or change the scope of a project during the project.
Tune in weekly and we can start a dialog about what it means and takes to be…
self-unemployed!
Hey Chris, just wanted to drop a line and say good luck on the blog. Just got here through the post about your work on A Photo Assistant. I’m also based in Nashville (going to school at Vandy) and am always excited when I find great photographers nearby. I’ll be following along on the blog!
