Creative Freelancers Biggest Questions… and Answers!
What do you feel is your biggest challenge as a freelancer? Getting noticed? Finding and get returning clients? Maybe your challenge is that you’re not sure if you’re leaving a lasting impression. These are all questions most creative freelancers have throughout their careers and many will agree that keeping their schedule booked depends on one thing, a strong network.
We tackled these questions and more during a great discussion at the July Creative Freelancer Meet-Up hosted by the Four Winds Creative Team and a partner from our own trusted network, Mac House Productions. If you’re not familiar with the Mac House team, they are an awesome production team founded by Viet Mac, an inspiring young man who has followed his passions fearlessly and cultivated a team of dedicated artists. His team at Mac House can fulfill any production need from studio space to equipment rental, from pre to post production, and they have a ton of fun in the process.
So many great freelancer and creative resources were shared at the event that we decided to pull them together for everyone.
