You have to fake them into believing you're really busy I think. When there's no work just sit on the couch and hope none of your clients call... they'll call when they sense the brainwaves.

Having to wait a month to be paid, no matter how hard you work, or how much you do, just isn't good. Freelancing freedom is great because you decide when you need money when to do work (providing you can get a client of course)! Yeah, real jobs suck.

I just turned down an interview for a contract job last week so that I could focus on my own clients. I guess history will prove if it was a good idea to not further investigate the contract job. But it felt good to do it. And it still feels good today! How true, how true.

Full-time jobs sucks, period. I think it sucks to be paid same salary every month, do we solve same creative challenges every month? Hell No! The closest thing to fair play is to get remunerated per project. Funny but sad, most freelancers are often tempted to secure the “whatever-happens-at-least-i’ll-get-paid” privilege!
