Updates, updates, updates!

It’s been a little while since I posted site updates and I’ve received quite a few questions about the survey in particular. So here’s some quick news on what’s happening over here:

The Survey … 300 hours and counting
So it turns out that compiling data from over three thousand people is actually quite a difficult job. In retrospect this seems fairly obvious, but somehow this thought didn’t really cross our minds when we decided to run the freelancer survey last year. By my quick calculation we’ve spent about 300 man hours on the project now.

The good news is we’re on the home stretch, the data has been compiled, evaluated, graphed and I began formatting it into a PDF this morning. I’d give an ETA … but let’s face it, that hasn’t been working out very well for the survey thus far!

So again, I’m sorry it’s taken so long, all I can say is we’re putting in a lot of work

1000 Copies of The Book Sold
We recently sold our 1,000th copy of the How to Be a Rockstar Freelancer book which is really amazing. We’ve commissioned two people - a freelancer and an editor - to work on a second edition of the book which will be made available as a PDF to anyone who has already purchased the ebook or paperback. The feedback has been really good, but we’re all about improving things to the max around here!

Also I was recently interviewed on Problogger about the whole book writing experience. I even provided a graph of how sales went on the site, so if you are interested in writing an ebook/book via a blog, I hope you’ll find it useful reading.

Other News
We’ve had two new FreelanceSwitch applications developed and they are both ready for rollout. They are a document library for freelancers to submit their quotes, invoices, and other working docs to, and a client analyzer to let you use the 80/20 principle on your client list. You can expect to see them both in February!

Our job board is going strong with just over a hundred jobs posted at any one time and plenty of people subscribed. We’re looking into possibly making the software for the board open source, so that other people can make use of it too.

And in just over two months it’s going to be our one year anniversary! I am working on plans to make it a big birthday bash. You know on that subject, one day we should have a global freelancer conference, wouldn’t that be cool!

Web Content Thursdays: How Do You Feel About Incoming Links

This is a short, but sweet, Web Content Thursday on a pet peeve of mine.

How do you feel about incoming links?

When someone links to me I go to their site and read the post that contains the link. I try to leave a comment on the post, even if I don’t agree with it. I figure that if they’ve taken the time and trouble to read a post of mine and write a response, then the least I could do is leave a comment.

What amazes me is how few bloggers do this. 

I currently post on four different blogs, two of which are extremely active. On those active blogs every single post links to a news article or another blogs post. You’d think that I’d get at least one comment nearly every day, but it just isn’t so.

Now, I admit that there have been times when it looked like I was getting a link and I went to the site and couldn’t find it. (Does anyone know what causes that to happen?) But, if the blogger is responding to me, then I respond to the response.

(By the way, you can find out if someone has linked to one of your posts by going to your blog on Technorati and looking for blog reactions. If you haven’t claimed your blog on Technorati yet, I highly recommend doing so.)
What’s your take on this? Am I being too sensitive?

Should The Government Monitor ‘Net Content? An Odd Couple Posting

Within the family of bloggers that is the b5media business channel, the latest cross-group activity is what we’re calling The Odd Couple posting challenge. Two bloggers get to post their reaction to a statement. I’m partnered with Rachel at Behind the Buzz and our challenge is:

Should the government monitor content on the internet as closely as it does content for television and radio?

Ugh! No! Get all governments out of all content! Since it’s probably to late to get governments out of television and radio, let’s at least keep them out of the content of the internet.

What this question is really all about is the fear some have that people can’t be trusted. This is based on the notion that people are evil. If this is true, the logic goes, they need a firm hand to guide them.

And hence the problem - whose hand guided by what standards? This kind of thinking leads to absurdities like the (mostly, in my opinion manufactured) outcry in the U.S. over the brief display of a (gasp) woman’s bare nipple during a Super Bowl half-time. Apparently no one had noticed that all people, men and women, young and old, have two of them. But, in this society it’s considered totally okay to allow children to watch hours of violence on the same television.

Obviously, those people who were so upset about the display of a breast wouldn’t want me controlling what they and their children would see… heck, I’d probably outlaw football as too violent. So whose hand should guide content and by what standard?

Far better, I think, to see people as trustworthy and capably of making their own choices. Sure, some aren’t, but many many more are and the chances that censorship will be able to spot the few who are not is not worth the loss of freedom.

The best site about internet freedom in my opinion is the Electronic Frontier Foundation or EFF. It’s one of those truly deep sites you can get lost in as you explore what’s happening in the internet freedom field. Of course, the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) is another great source.

Read Rachel’s post on the same question.

Now, do you trust the government to decide what should be on the ‘net? Tell us and tell us why.

Write well and often,

Watch What You Write!

I’ve seen it happen on Law and Order, after Hurricane Katrina struck, and to an American woman who tried to hire a contract killer through craigslist (thanks to Kathy for the heads-up): the people involved were all done in by their words. There really is nothing wrong with interacting through email, IM, or any other medium where you words are recorded. So long as you watch what you write:

“Marie informed (one of the people who responded) that she was looking for ’silent assassins’ and she asked him to eradicate a targeted victim,” offered 5,000 dollars for the job and provided the address, name, age and occupation of the man’s wife.

“Asked what she meant by ‘eradicate,’ Anne Marie said ‘Duh. Well to have her killed,” the court documents said.

People have a tendency to forget exactly what was said in spoken conversations, but it’s a different story when your words are part of a permanent record. If you can’t handle whatever comes back to haunt you, then it’s a simple matter of not writing certain things down. And that’s where programs like Skype come in.

WAHM Wednesday: Of Spam and Life

Does anyone really purchase the products that are offered in spam e-mails?

I have to ask because I just can’t believe that spam is a very effective means of marketing.

(Oh yeah, and I’m sick and tired of deleting 40+ spam e-mails every day. I know, I know. It’s time to buy a better filter…)

Some samplings from my daily spam as examples of futile marketing (and why each type of spam is futile):

• Offers to enhance my manhood. Uh, for starters I’m a woman and not a man.
• Notifications that I’ve won the foreign lottery. Number one, I never entered. Number two, even I realize that winning a legitimate lottery is a rare occurrence. It shouldn’t happen three or four times a day.
• Sales of pharmaceuticals. I actually don’t use much medication. What I do use, my doctor prescribes. Can you fill my doctor’s prescription? Will you take my insurance? Uh huh, I thought not.
• Offers from foreign nationals wanting to deposit large sums of money in my bank account. I don’t even know where to begin on this one. It kind of falls into the category of “how stupid do you think I am?” I’ve heard of this scam already, okay?

The truth is, I delete any e-mail that I suspect to be spam within seconds of receiving it. I suspect most people do exactly the same thing.

So, why do the spammers persist?

We would like to have the Joomla CMS system implemented to make it easy for us to add news, updates, etc. We would like the layout to look very similar to what we have already.

Understanding the Online World

Throughout the years of online interaction, a system of expression slowly developed. This language has developed a certain complexity that may prove obscure for any newcomers (or newbies) to the online world.

At wun end, you has totally throw out grammar speak like lolcat n l33t. No proper spelling 2. Lol!!!!!!!!!11

At the other are the technical terms used to describe the various phenomenon unique to the online world. The very fact that you’re reading this blog indicates that you are versed enough. But even the best of us trip on certain terms that seem more gibberish than English. Good thing Connie of Write Life Guide has just posted a listing of online resources that may shed light on that unknown word. Also, a quick way to get the definition for most terms is to search on Google using the “define:” operator. So, if you wanted to learn what “operator” means, you can just type in “define:operator” in a Google search box.

With a better knowledge of Basic Geek, your online interactions will be more about doing business, not wasting time trying to discern the meaning of your business contacts’ messages. It’s also possible that your descriptions will become more concise and comprehensive.

8 Web Design Mistakes That Developers Make

An excellent website takes a particularly savvy blend of both great design and great code. Because of this, you often find designers having to figure out code and developers trying their hand at design. Speaking as a developer who spent his university years studying among other developers, I can safely say that programmers are not designers. Thankfully, we were graded back then for having reusable code and proper OO methodology -- never for our aesthetics. But nowadays, one of the greatest assets a developer can have is a keen understanding of design.

Now I understand that a programmer may never need to know anything about design (or for that matter, a designer doesn't ever need to program). But the truth is, every programmer has personal projects, frugal clients, or management roles that require design. Furthermore, I can say that often, a freelancer's greatest asset in pitching potential clients is their keen understanding of the entire website building process. So coming from someone who studied as a developer but now also does design (or at least attempts to), here are 8 mistakes I've either heard or made myself.


"I Know What Looks Good (and I Have Photoshop)"
It's one thing to be a bad designer. It's a far worse matter to be a bad designer and think that you're good. Every good designer has a well-calibrated "design compass" that comes from constantly looking at good designs. You need to spend time looking at great designs from sites like TheFWA, FaveUp, Design is Kinky, and my personal favorite, the Behance Network. You might also want to pick up the occasional design magazine like HOW or print (note that both are U.S. magazines and may be more expensive internationally). Just as good programmers enjoy looking at (and usually critiquing) other people's code, a good designer is always scanning other people's work, whether it be a website or billboard or menu. Without a good "design compass," no amount of Photoshop filters will save you.


"Just Use Blue and White Again"
Most programmers scoff at the idea that a designer might spend several hours choosing exact colors for a website. However, colors will always matter more than you think and you can't change them after a site is being built (at least, not without great effort). Like most things, looking at the color schemes of good designers will help, and the best place to look for color scheme ideas is COLOURlovers.


"I'll Just Center Everything"
For most, it seems almost natural to center align titles, taglines, and parts of copy. But usually, centered text on a website looks amateurish, while left-aligning is a much safer and usually better looking option. Furthermore, be mathematically exact about your website sections, taking advantage of rulers and gridlines in Photoshop. This doesn't mean your design should look grid-like, but eyes can and will notice when sections are supposed to line up, but do not (especially with text). Every pixel matters.


"Use the Free Font...It Looks Fine to Me"
There was a time in my life when (a) all serif fonts looked the same and (b) no font was worth paying for. I have since rescinded on both, and continue to learn more about the complex and beautiful world of typography. Honestly, if there was one subject I wish I could master, it would be typography. You can have a great website with only a little color and great type (and such is the basis for any great design anyways). Again, becoming better at typography requires reading and training your eye by looking at good sites. And please never categorize all fonts under either "fun" or "boring."


"We Can Fit More Information in That Space"
Having worked on both programming and design teams, a common disagreement between the two is "utility of space." Programmers want to get as much information above the fold as possible. Designers argue that the eye can't take that much and would rather just have a logo and tagline above the fold. Try finding a happy median between the two, knowing that (a) busy websites can be ineffective, (b) "whitespace" is not just a fallback for lazy designers, and (c) the so-called "empty" portions of a site are necessary to set off the other elements.


"I'm Not Paying for a Picture"
Bad imagery/photography can ruin a reasonable site, while great imagery can make a simple design look really good. And with the resources on the web, there should be no excuse for using poor imagery. For non-commercial sites, check out stock.xchng or Flickr. For commercial work, there are multiple microstock websites out there like iStockPhoto (although learn to be creative because after a while, you start seeing the same images on other sites). And lastly, don't be scared to spend good money for the perfect image at a site like Veer.


"I Don't Need to Ask for Opinions"
More often than not, you will be your design's biggest fan (through your rose-colored glasses). So you need to ask designers you know for an honest critique. Unfortunately, most people I know who've asked me what I think of their design just wanted approval, not critique. So let your ego go and put on your learning cap. There's a reason that these people are designers (and get paid for it) while you are not. Then after you get their feedback, respect them, trust them, and implement some changes.


"No Need to Get Too Detailed"
Just like you can have mediocre code that needs improvement (but still "works"), you can have a design that is passable, but far from great. It's easy to look at great designs and think, "That doesn't look like much." But in reality, a great design takes a good deal of time (especially for new designers). But with these great designs, you only get to see the end product, and not the amount of editing and revisions that the designer went through. Furthermore, you'd be surprised how a detail as simple as a stroke line makes a world of difference. Don't ever consider a design "done" the first time you put the elements together.


All in all, great design (like great code) takes time, patience, and skill -- and thus, should be duly respected. Although as a programmer (or content writer or other web worker), you may never need to design a website, I have a feeling that at one point or another, you'll have to anyways. Hopefully, you won't make the above mistakes...

The Corporate Veil (or How to Lose Your Business, but Keep Your House)

This post is a guest post from Allan Branch, a one time freelancer who created LessAccounting for freelancers who need to keep track of money or send invoices.

What if someone could sue your company and then, since your company has no money, take your house or win a judgment that takes you fifteen years to pay? The Corporate Veil provides protection against this happening to you.

What is it?

The Corporate Veil is the legal shield that protects an individual from being personally liable for the actions of his/her company. This only applies to owners, partners, board members, not employees or share holders. In this country a person, or a company may sue any other person or company for anything, at any time. But there is only one reason to sue, and that is to be awarded money. So if a person or company doesn’t have any money, then there isn’t really anything to sue for.

Unless of course, if there is no corporate veil, then they can come after you personally. This could leave you financially ruined for the rest of your life.

How does it work?

There are six types of companies in the US: Sole Proprietor, Partnership, Limited Liability Corporation (LLC), Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), Corporation (C-Corp), and Corporation (S-Corp). Of this list, Sole Proprietor and Partnership DO NOT protect the owner/partner, the others do.

Does this apply to me?

Are you a freelancer? Do you own your own business? Have you done any work for which you received a 1099? Have you done any work for a friend that you were paid for, but aren’t going to report as income (yes, building a website for $2000 counts)? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then congratulations, you are a business.

That’s right, you are a business even without filing a fictitious name statement, buying a business license, creating a corporate entity, or paying taxes. Any individual who does work and is paid for this work is considered a Sole Proprietorship, if two or more people do work together and are paid for it are considered a Partnership.

Who’s rule is this? The IRS. And the courts. The point here is that if you are doing any kind of work for pay you must protect your self and your family by creating a corporate shield. Small businesses are more often targets for veil piercing, you never hear about someone trying to pierce Apple’s veil and take Steve Job’s house.

How you can protect yourself.

Protecting yourself and your partners is very easy. The first thing to do is to create some sort of corporate entity to shield yourself. Any of the other four company types listed above, offer the same liability protection. (Although they each offer different tax benefits, so consult an accountant before choosing.)

Now you are protected. You still have to be careful, you must do certain things or else your plaintiff (or the IRS) can “pierce the corporate veil” and take your house. You have to sign every document with your title alongside your name, E.G. Steven A Bristol, President, Less Everything. Inc. You have to use a separate bank account for the business. You must never mix your personal finances with your corporate finance, E.G. write a payroll check for yourself, don’t just use the ATM, and don’t buy your daughter’s Christmas gifts with the company American Express card. In short, you must act as though you and your business are separate entities. If you are in doubt about anything, ask your accountant.

You can read more about piercing the corporate veil at Wikipedia.

Big Debut for 'Moment of Truth'

MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) -- It was a week of moments of truth. Fox's debut of "The Moment of Truth," the lie-detector reality show that revealed the veracity of viewers, as well as contestants, was the breakout premiere performance (a 9.5 rating and 24 share in the ad-centric adult 18-49 demographic), proving once again that what many people say they want isn't what they watch.

Freelancing’s Benefits and Challenges

The content factory that is HR World has this to say about freelancing:

Freelancing can introduce a rewarding lifestyle for an individual who craves flexibility and creative freedom. While freelancers do the work that the customer requires, they manage to enjoy more autonomy in their jobs than most professionals. Along with the creative-spirit label, however, comes the unfair social stigma of being unstable or unable to find a “real” job. Freelance pay is often low, as the general outlook of companies that want to outsource is that anyone can write, design or program. If that were the case, though, why even hire a freelancer? The next time you enlist the talents of a freelancer, don’t underestimate his or her talents.

This is totally in support of what I’ve been saying: Freelancing has its share of benefits and challenges. It is easier for contract workers to modify the work schedule and develop creativity to suit the needs. And it’s also true that successfully marketing our skills requires a certain manner of presentation.
