6 great admin habits for freelancers

Tiffany Markman — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 11:55:30 +0000

My Freelancentral column started with a swinging stable door and the horse escaping into a new freelance life. Its first piece spoke to the different types of clients to look out for; its second examined the client-contractor relationship. This article looks at what should happen between the lines of doing the work; in short, how freelancers can run their un-stabled lives so that they are more like businesses and less like hobbies. Yes, it’s about admin. A five-letter synonym for torture. But admin is what gets the moola in. Here’s the full version of the article on Freelancentral.

Boston Media House to use Tiffany’s material

As a former lecturer at Boston Business College Randburg (1999), on the topics of business English, journalism, PR and customer service, I was super-chuffed today when the HOD of Media Skills at Boston Media House requested permission to use my Bizcommunity articles as teaching resources. She says they’re ‘clever, funny and so very helpful’ (my articles – tho’ I’m pretty sure the students are too…). Fantastic. I may also guest lecture at BMH sometime in the future – one of my most favourite things to do: talk about freelancing – so watch this space.

Look out for new column on Freelancecentral

Starting next week, I’ll be writing columns every so often for Freelancentral, the freelance talent portal. Titled ‘The Stable Door’, my series of articles will deal with issues of interest to freelancers and those who employ them. They’ll also be posted on this blog once they’re up, for your delight, edification and (possibly) occasional venom. Look out for them, and share your thoughts.
