Hi guys,

I have just written an article on hiring freelancers on talent.

http://webmastercandy.co.uk/webmaste...-a-freelancer/

What are your thoughts on this article? Is there anything that I may have missed out?

Comments welcome.

I think you got it. I personally think communication is key in freelancing. I have taken over a lot of jobs from people who could not communicate effectivley to there clients, even though they had alot more practical experience.

I think the most important thing is good communication and organization. I have found many freelancers that are talented but the won't return your phone call or they'll miss a deadline.

Experience is key sure, but to be a successful freelancer you need to be an expert in marketing to keep the business coming in.

Ofcourse experience is a must.

If you would have a taxi firm, would you hire a taxi driver if he has no experience in driving?

Experience and referrals to previous contracts to make sure he's not going to stiff you on work. Can lack professionalism so be wary, just check background for previous work for recommendations.
