			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img hspace="3" align="left" alt="Intern Search" src="http://answers-for-freelancers.com/images/internA4F-small.jpg" />OK. So, we&#8217;re back on schedule, right? We think so. We&#8217;ll see.</p>
<p>Anyhow, in this episode of Answers for Freelancers we talk about a bunch of things beside Chris&#8217; new pink office.</p>
<p>Chris is scheduled to attend Podcamp Boston 2 on October 26-28, 2007 at the Boston Expo Center.  For more information on the event, including who&#8217;s attending, what discussions are going to be had and how you can participate, go to <a target="_blank" href="http://podcampboston.org">http://podcampboston.org</a>  Also, Chris (and Bob if he can make it) are going to be chairing a couple of sessions.  The first is a recap of how to decide what you need to charge and the second is a panel of freelancers that will just answer audience questions about what its like to freelance.  If you want these discussions to happen, write to the organizers and tell them to make sure that we&#8217;re scheduled.</p>
<p>Bob puts out the official call for the <a href="http://www.answers-for-freelancers.com/2007/09/24/intern-search/">A4F Intern Search</a>.  We should put up a page for that, shouldn&#8217;t we? This is for actual college internship credit. And its not limited to artists, either.  If you feel that you can contribute to the show in a meaningful way, either as on the show or behind the scenes, try out!</p>
<p>We have a new JibJab movie.  Enjoy!</p>
<p><span id="more-56"></span></p>
<p>Bob and Chris both give out their favorite tips for using iPhoto to deliver preliminary artwork to clients.</p>
<p>Bob puts up our new merchandising line on <a target="_blank" href="http://podcampboston.org">http://www.zazzle.com/answers4freelancers</a>.</p>
<p>Also, we touch on what to do when you face burnout on a project (hint: don&#8217;t go careening down the side of a tree-covered mountain on a bike).</p>
<p>Finally, we talk a bit about Twitter, how to use it, and why to sign up.  Twitter&#8217;s home page is at <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/">http://twitter.com/</a> and a list of software, both for the Mac and PC, can be found at <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/downloads/">http://twitter.com/downloads</a>. To follow Bob and Chris on Twitter, just swing by the website and look for our twitter tags.  From there you can just click on the &#8220;follow&#8221; links and you&#8217;ll be all set (if you have a twitter account).</p>
<p>So, is that enough for one show? We sure hope so.  Maybe next time we can find a topic and stick to it! By the way, I truly know what &#8220;in the can&#8221; meant.  I was just trying to give Bob a hard time.</p>

When you&#8217;re working for someone else, deadlines can be important, and missing them can have dire consequences.  When you&#8217;re working for yourself, however, missing deadlines can destroy your business, leave you clientless, and kill your ability to find more work (or even a new job).</p>
<p>On the other hand, deadlines can be the fuel to keep your business running on time, keeping projects from being delayed, and keeping even the toughest clients happy with your results.</p>

<p>In this roundtable discussion, Bob, Ken and Chris discuss the importance of deadlines, how to keep them from becoming your downfall, and how to turn them to your advantage.</p>
<p>Also, Bob gives you would-be adventurers a pep talk and an art director&#8217;s perspective on getting your portfolio out there.  Don&#8217;t Hesitate.  Do it now.  Not later.  Don&#8217;t wait.  Really.  Why are you still reading this?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In episode 8, we interviewed renowned business guru Michael Gerber, who had some very interesting thoughts on the very nature and business viability of freelancing.  Michael&#8217;s remarks sparked some heated debates between Ken, Bob and Chris.  So much so, that even before posting Michael&#8217;s interview, we knew we were going to have to follow it up with a discussion of our own on the subject.  Are we actually telling you to stop freelancing?  Yes!  No!  Maybe?  Listen in and tell us what you think.</p>
<p><span id="more-32"></span></p>
<p>We take a hard look at the differences between freelancing and entrepreneurship.  How are they fundamentally different?  How do you apply Michael&#8217;s techniques to either to become more successful?  Is one doomed to failure while another is a rocketship heading to the moon?  Not necessarily, but until you understand the key features of each, you can&#8217;t really start to grow either, or grow beyond where you are now.</p>
<p>Give it a listen and weigh in. All of us, the hosts AND your fellow listeners, are anxious to know what you think.  Where do you stand on this idea?  Did you like the topic?  Would you like to see us continue to offer more of this diverse type of subject matter?  Let us know.  Shoot us an email, leave a comment below, or drop us some audio using our My Chingo account to the left.</p>
<p>Yup, we know we were a little later than anticipated getting this out, but that just really goes to show the strong feeling we have on this subject.  We&#8217;re glad you&#8217;re still with us.</p>
<p>Pod on.  Chris, Bob and Ken</p>
