I read when I have to but I scan like many people and sometimes you have to read every word…. This podcast idea is great for me….. I can download it, put it on my mp3 player and listen to it while driving…. I would really like to hear more about how to charge clients for consulting. What do they expect from a Consultant and what should I be ready to provide.

Great idea! I much prefer the multi tasking opportunities podcasts bring to an rss feed.

Cheers!

What might be interesting is to hear from other people who feel the effect when someone moves from in-house to freelance - e.g. husbands/wives/partners, children, friends. You could interview them on how it affects their social life, the differences they have seen in the freelancer etc.

Sort of an inside-outsider perspective.

Look forward to hearing whatever you come up with, love the site

In addition to all the great requests so far, I’d love to hear how freelancers deal with working out of their home when they have a young family in tow. While a lot of the advice I read is very much common sense, sometimes it just doesn’t gel when you have kids wanting/needing your attention every other moment of the day.

I’ve only just discovered FreelanceSwitch a month or two ago, and I am finding it a fantastic resource - kudos to all involved and keep up the good work!

I’d like to hear a podcast on when people knew it was the right time to make “the switch” from working full-time and freelancing part-time to freelancing full-time.

As some people have already suggested, I’d like to hear some experiences of people who recognized the tipping point going from part-time to full-time freelancing and all the implications that carries as well as some safeguards to employ when relying on your home business as a main source of income.

I agree with the other people and would like to hear about starting from scratch as a Freelancer. We so often hear and read advice about getting the portfolio together, but this falls way short of what is actually required to start out in the world of freelancing. There are so many decisions to be made, that it can be quite daunting at times. Will you be working from home or not? Where are you going to get your customers from? Who is your competition? Which suppliers will you use? How will you travel to see customers? What is your unique selling point? What type of bank account should you have? Why do you want to freelance? What type of system should I have for logging and saving job and artwork? How do you work out how long a job will take if you are new/rusty/producing something that you haven’t done previously? What are the most important things that I should be doing when starting out?

OK, so maybe there were too many examples, but you get the idea.

I look forward to hearing the Podcast.
