Avoiding the Freelance Pitfalls


I never get tired of singing the praises of Tom Richmond's blog. You gotta love a guy who is always busy creating wonderful cartoons and caricatures, has a number of enterprises on the go, manages to make time for his family and STILL finds time to share advice with other creative types. I've sought Tom's advice a few times over the past year about some of my business dealings and he has always been gracious with his time and help.

Case in point, found this little nugget on his blog today that I just had to share, because it has to do with an area that many creative folk are uncomfortable with, and that's getting paid. Most artists have a hard time figuring out the line between cash now or cash later, and they often get duped into thinking that being published is better than being paid.

This link will take you to Tom's blog, which in turn has some links to other blogs, all of which are worth the read. Especially if you ever want to make a living at drawing or writing.
