How to Make It on Your Own


For a while, as a freelancer, I tried using freelance profile sites.  But those sites heavily de-value the necessary uniqueness that any industry needs these days.

I was effectively giving up my individuality for slightly more exposure than what I was getting with my social networking, but for significantly less pay.  I deleted my profile after a couple of weeks.

The most important thing to remember about making your own business is this: know your value.  Know what your worth.  Then demand it, and never back down from it.
