Freelancing

Ed Gandia, co-author of The Wealthy Freelancer: 12 Secrets to a Great Income and an Enviable Lifestyle (Penguin/Alpha), will be sharing his formula for success in the freelance writing industry at The Red Clay Writers Conference.

In this difficult economy people are beginning to understand, some perhaps for the first time, the need for self-reliance and self-marketing. Advances in technology have already paved the way for telecommuting, but what about the individual who wants to take that extra step towards financial independence and become self-employed? This presentation offers a number of practical strategies to take you from employee (or unemployed!) to self-employed.

Pragmatic as well as optimistic, Ed Gandia understands that the solo path is not for everyone. He tempers his encouragement with caution and gives a list of critical factors to consider when determining which path is right for you.This is a session no writer interested in the lucrative and fulfilling business of freelance writing should miss!
