Deciding to pursue a freelancing career may not exactly be like a walk in the park. True that it has its perks but before you can enjoy those, you will have to go through some rough spots before you can actually make a name and stand out in the overwhelming number of freelancers.
Coveting a spot in the freelancing world will not be easy especially if you are an amateur who lacks experience. Think of the competition you will be facing when you start looking for freelance jobs. It’s no secret that most clients would prefer to hire those who have a solid portfolio and a considerable amount of experience as opposed to newbies.

In other words, you have to learn the tricks of the trade before you can expect to find solid ground. As a budding freelancer, you have to begin with the important first steps.

More and more of us are becoming freelancers. But, for many of us, the reality of freelancing is different from what we expected.
You’re probably already familiar with the freelancing feast or famine cycle problem and with the struggles freelancers in finding gigs. We’ve already discussed both of those problems on Freelance Folder, so I’m not going to go over them again in this post.

The story stretches from their first meeting at college right the way up to present day, and it's well worth ten minutes of your time.

Microsoft announced its plans to buy the popular peer-to-peer VoIP service Skype in early 2011 and the acquisition closed last October. Since then, though, Microsoft mostly left Skype alone and continued to run it as a stand-alone product. With the release of the next version of Office, Microsoft is now integrating Skype closely into its office productivity suite. Skype will, for example, now power the “presence” feature in Outlook and – just like Yammer, Microsoft’s most recent acquisition – will become a default part of every version of Office.

Have you seen Facebook stock lately? It's no where near where it IPO'd at. And since that means Facebook isn't worth as much, the hilarious folks at Jest realized that means Facebook needs to start earning some cash moneys... by charging for Facebook.
Can you imagine how many options Facebook could offer if they decided to make Facebook cost money? Jest did. Things like Facebook Pro which simplifies Facebook privacy settings and lets you see who's creeping on your page, Friends Plus which hooks you up with celebrities, Facebook Gold which effectively turns your page into MySpace and so much more. This is the future of a failing Facebook. Ain't it nice?
