Hey all,
When you just started freelancing in your field, what part of business was the most important to you? What did you spend much of your time on?
I know for me, it was probably smart Marketing. It was an extremely difficult job to spread the word about the community I was building, make it known to many users. It was definitely NOT Promotion because I had no money to spend on advertising of any kind. I think the only bucks I spent was Yahoo! web site registration, for which I paid $300 and still regret that decision.
I was also concerned about some legal issues, but not as much about accounting or keeping a journal because I didn't really have much to record.
What about you? Don't forget to mention what you do exactly. Did your business take off fast enough to care about all the above issues?
