There are so many quality posts about freelancing that it’s hard to keep up with them all. Here are a few that caught my eye recently (ok, maybe not a few, but at least they’re all related). Chris discusses getting paid for freelance writing, providing his tips for success. Freelance Folder talks about meeting deadlines and How Not To Suck At Marketing, while Freelance Parent discusses working in the holidays.

Career Management

There’s plenty of advice on career management, including 10 Signs You Should Drop a Client Like a Bad Habit from Freelance Switch, the Freelancers’ Guide to Time Management from the Blog for Freelancers and advice from JCM Enterprises on How to Say No to Clients You Want to Keep . That blog also has an interesting post on Posting Your Writer Rates. Find out more about getting paid with Pay the Damned Writer from Jen and Monetization: Writers Are The New Slaves from Performancing.

Writing Business

There’s advice from FreelanceSwitch on How To Win Jobs On Freelance Job Bidding Sites while Freelance Parent discusses Becoming a Specialized Freelancer and Defining Your Niche.

Food For Thought

Then there are a few posts in the ‘made you think’ category, including:

• Are You Skilled Enough To Be A Writer? from Hope Writes
• Just Because You Can Type, It Doesn’t Mean You’re a Writer from Freelance Parent
• Want To Quit the Day Job But Can’t Afford To? Maybe You Can from Caroline Middlebrook
• How Do You Reward Yourself? from Freelance Writing Gigs

Finally, whether you’re sick of reading link posts or think they are the bee’s knees, make your views known on A Writer’s Words, An Editor’s Eye, where Lillie Ammann asks what you think.
