FREELANCING AS A DESKTOP PUBLISHER
People often ask us to suggest an easily-understood
freelance business that can be done from home. Desktop publishing -- using your
computer and design software such as Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Publisher to
create brochures, newsletters, flyers, books, etc., for small businesses and
independent professionals -- is one such niche.
For some pointers on getting started in DTP, we turned to
expert Evy Williams, of Brochures by Design (
http://www.brochuresbydesign.com).
Evy, who has been in business for nearly five years (you’ll
find
samples of her work here), first cautions that “[r]unning a successful business requires a lot of hard
work, tenacity and initiative and starting a desktop publishing business is no
exception.”
Here are some books she recommends for further reading, followed
by her 10 tips for moving downfield:
1. Be a lifelong learner. Always continue to learn new
things. The more skills you can offer a client, the more important you are to
them.
2. Network with anyone and everyone. Join local and virtual
organizations to meet the people in the industry. If you’re known in the
industry for a specialty like desktop publishing, when someone needs to refer a
client in your area of specialization, they’ll think of you.
3. Keep your skills updated. Technology is changing all the
time; keep up with it. For example, if you’re an expert in Quark Xpress you
should not only learn the latest version of that program but you should also
know that Adobe’s InDesign is now the standard layout program for many
businesses.
4. Market yourself, market your business, and just keep
marketing. Keep current on the latest marketing trends so that you will be on
par with your competition. Marketing is one of the most important factors in a
successful business and especially one that is “virtual.” Because we don’t have
a sign outside our home advertising our business for us, you need to get the
word out as much as possible.
5. If you don’t already have superior customer service
skills, develop them. This is critical for a business, especially a
service-oriented business. You can’t keep a client without it. I would
recommend periodically surveying your clients to see how you’re doing. You
could ask them for a recommendation/testimonial and this feedback will be
enlightening. You also benefit by posting those testimonials on your website
for potential clients to see.
6. Volunteer your time and your skills. Volunteering isn’t
completely altruistic; not only do you get a sense of satisfaction but you can
also acquire new skills, build a network, etc.
7. Develop a strong work ethic. Starting a business from
scratch requires a lot of hours to build a network of clients, partners,
referrals, etc. Most of the hours you put in at the beginning will be unpaid;
they’ll be for marketing and getting your name out there. The money will come
later.
8. Be creative. Not only will you want to be creative in
your desktop publishing design work but also in your marketing efforts and
other aspects of your business. Look for opportunities that might otherwise go
unnoticed. For instance, when leaders in the industry ask for your input,
provide it. You’ll get noticed by them and by others and possibly end up being
considered an expert in that area.
9. Acquire good communication skills. Good communication
means listening well as much as it means speaking well. This will be an
invaluable skill along the way when clients know that you heard and understood
what they wanted. Be sure to clarify with the client that you understand what they
are asking for.
10. Get organized. Organization will be extremely important
in order for you to deliver a quality service in a timely manner.
A NEW SECTION – “FRUGAL AND SIMPLE LIVING”
Many of us have just weathered another stupefying December
advertising hurricane, as we emerge from the holidays on a slippery field of
credit card receipts. So Chris and I thought it might be a good time to
introduce an antidotal Bulletin section, “Frugal and Simple Living.”
Here, we’ll focus on ways you can save money, have other
options besides more credit card debt, and live a simpler life.

FROM THE R3 MAILBAG -- QUESTIONS ABOUT WORKING FROM HOME,
AND OTHER RAT RACE TOPICS
DEAR R3: I would like to do website design projects from
home from time to time, to earn extra money, but I don’t want to have a
full-blown “business.” Is this possible?
R3: Yes. Don’t let the terminology deter you. “Business” at
bottom simply means independent money-making activity. Most freelance service
providers -- which is what you would be -- work part-time, on a project or
contract basis, without the trappings of larger businesses (business plan,
board of directors, incorporation with multiple shareholders, etc.).
That said, you’ll still need to follow basic business
principles, i.e., earn enough money to cover costs and leave you your target
income; have a marketing plan, if only an outline, and know how you’ll keep projects
coming; decide on your best “legal entity” (sole proprietorship, limited
liability company, etc.); pay attention to tax considerations; and so on.
HOME-BASED CALL CENTER REPS CAN BE FREELANCERS OR EMPLOYEES
Depending on which virtual call center you work for here in
the
US,
you could be a “regular employee” (West, for example, as of last November), an
independent contractor / freelancer (LiveOps; certain VIPdesk positions), or
the employee of your own micro-company, which has the call center as a customer
(Arise).
It sounds more complicated than it is, but it’s also
important to keep in mind, as there’s a significant financial difference (including
taxes) between employee and independent contractor status.
For more on which call center companies treat you which way
(and how much they’re paying), see our call center chart at
http://www.ratracerebellion.com/CS_Comparison.html.
For more on how the IRS defines “employee” and “independent
contractor,” and the tax differences, see

HOME-BASED WORKERS GATHER OFFLINE AT “JELLY” AND “COWORKER” SPOTS
As many of us know from experience, no working situation is
perfect, and working from home is no exception. People are social animals, and
we get lonesome for our fellow bipeds!
What to do? Well, in the old days, you could walk to the
general store, buy a soft drink or an ice cream cone, and while away a few
minutes catching up on the town gossip. Nowadays, you can drive to a café and
meet other home-workers, but more organized options are opening up too, like
“coworker spaces” and “Jelly.”
Coworker spaces are places you can rent by the month or day
to hang out with fellow “homies.” A recent
Fortune Small Business article says there are
currently about three dozen such places worldwide, but monthly fees can be high
($475 at Office Nomads in Seattle, Wash., for example, though the price does
include permanent desk space, unlimited printing, Wi-Fi, 24-hr. access and the
use of three conference rooms). A “day pass” ($20) seems like a better deal, at
least for basic schmoozing.
Jelly takes a different approach, helping people organize
freelancer or telecommuter get-togethers at homes, cafes, eateries, etc. A
Jelly page for
Tampa Bay, Fla., gives a sense of the vibe:
“Work at home? Feeling lonely? Come to a Tampa Bay Jelly, an
every-so-often casual coworking session. We provide the chairs and the WiFi,
you bring your laptop / work materials and sociability. All are welcome.”
I haven’t tried a Jelly yet, but it does sound like fun, and
it certainly answers a growing need. For more, see
http://workatjelly.com.
2008 -- THE YEAR OF THE RAT
I was driving (well, idling) on the Beltway here in
Northern Virginia the other day, and all across the
lanes, people were getting out of their cars and dancing on the roofs and
hoods. “Why the celebration?” I asked.
“The Year of the Rat is here!” they shouted. “In the Chinese
zodiac calendar!”
What can we expect in the Year of the Rat? Well, it’s
supposed to be a great year for business, and an easy time to succeed, and to get
rich, too.
What a coincidence. Sounds like a typical work-at-home job ad!

Scams
As
noted, while listings contained in the Bulletin
have been screened by
our staff, and we believe in good faith that all listings are
legitimate,
Staffcentrix, LLC cannot guarantee the legitimacy of all listings, and
we can
make no representations or accept any responsibility regarding
prospective

screened for the Bulletin, and the
“camouflage” that inappropriate
opportunities may sometimes wear, an illegitimate or inappropriate item
will
occasionally “slip below our radar” and make its
way into the Bulletin. Should you encounter any
lead that appears to be a scam, please report it
to us immediately. Such items may include:
- Positions that were
posted
as "work at home" that are not;
- Posts that turn out to
be
multi-level marketing (MLM) operations or "get rich
quick" schemes;
- Any "employer" who
asks for money before releasing more details about the job.
We
have a zero tolerance policy regarding such "employers" and, when
they are reported, we will make certain that no further posts from
these
parties are allowed into the Bulletin.
