Every freelancer has a set of tools that help them get through the day. No matter what your trade (web developer, photographer, copywriter, etc.) you have a few essentials that help you do your job more efficiently and more effectively. I am no different; I’ve got software and tools that help me manage my accounting, projects, and of-course, aide in developing websites. Below are the big five in my arsenal.

I get a lot of questions from people seeking advice on how much to charge, how to handle a certain type of client, and other freelance related things. Following the mantra of every teacher ever, if one person has a question more people probably have the same one. So I figured why not post a question every week from a reader and I will answer it, and of course leave it open for comments.
So here’s a call to action- Fill out the contact form or email me at joe@freelancingthenet.com with a freelance question you have. I will publish the first question/answer next week. If you’re not sure what you should ask, here are some things I consider myself very good at:
- Being a student/freelancer (that’s all I was up until May)
- Finding Work
- Web Development
- Client Relationships
I look forward to hearing from you!
