A Freelancer Blogs On Labor Day

Today is labor day. And what has a freelance programmer got to say about this issue since he works for no boss? Nice question. I am not writing this blog to rant about a client who paid me below the market price value of my service. No, I’m not going to do that. This lonely freelance programmer from Davao, Philippines has learned the consequences of pricing his services much lower than the competition and has paid dearly for that. Time to shut up, move on, and etch the lesson in the heart.

Instead, I am going to write about the beauty of freelancing and how it avoids the perennial problem faced by a large number of employees and magnified during the Labor Day.

2 Important Qualities Every Freelance Programmer Must Have

I can tell from experience that freelance programming is not an easy game to play especially for those who are just starting out. Your experience, skills, and credibility will really be put to the test when you come face to face with the client. Typical question such as the following will be asked.

Can you really do the job? For most programmers, the answer to that question is a resounding YES. I bet that it’s true 99% of the time.

Do you have an experience with ASP? Then you begin telling the guy that is he already obsolete. And then in an instant you become a .NET evangelist trying to convince them to upgrade to ASP.Net.

Have you done a similar project in the past and can customize it to fit their requirements? This type of client knows what he is about to do — which is a good sign — you must be prepared to give a no nonsense response.

It’s a jungle out there. In this article, I’d like to discuss two of the most important qualities that every freelance programmer must possess in order to survive in the jungle.

Why Work Freelance?

I started my freelance career back in 2003 and have stayed that way ever since. My decision to go into a freelance work was partly incidental and partly experimental. In both cases, I felt I was prepared to take on the challenge. When the software outsourcing company I helped form closed down its operation for reasons that were entirely out of our control, I felt it was time brush the dust aside and actually take control of the situation. With years of experience and skills under my belt, exploring the freelance programming world just comes naturally for me. I thought, there could be a lot companies who would need and actually benefit from the services that I have to offer. So I made up my mind and took some action. And that means resisting the temptation to apply for a good number of attractive job offers that come my way.

Over the course of years, I have talked with several people who became freelancers like myself. I was delighted to know how we share most similar reasons why we go into our respective freelance careers. Here are some of top reasons I have collected:

Don’t Let Anyone Take Control Over Your Domain Name

Do you want to know how to register a domain name all by yourself? Do you already have a website but you are not sure whether or not it is really registered in your name? How do you check this out? How do you make sure that you have complete control over your domain name?

The answers to these questions are very important if you are ever serious about your website
Learning to manage a domain name is not very difficult, but I am a bit surprised at how many small business website owners I’ve met don’t even know how to do it. They just leave the job of handling the registration and maintenance to the web developer or the webhosting company without even being aware of the danger.

After reading this article, I hope that you will grow in confidence in being able to take
complete control your domain name.

Lazy Blogger Apologizes

This is short post and one that makes reference to a previous entry on the series of Self-paced PHP Tutorials I haved started for beginners. I apologize for being lazy and submitting a sort of half-baked article on PHP Control Structures. I didn’t realize a lot of beginners would actually be interested in that.

This time, I have improved it and have provided a challenging problem at the end of the article. I’d be glad to hear your comments.

Cheers from your Lazy Blogger,

Carlos V.
