5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorugh guide for freelancers and independents, August 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Be A Permanent Temp (Paperback)

Excellent book for those thinking about permanently freelancing or working as an independent. Helps you decide if it's right for you and gives much info. on how to get started. Title may lead you to believe that it's about temping in the traditional sense, but it actually addresses a whole new workforce that the information technology age has enabled...those who want to work from their home or their own business office on their terms.

This book is an easy-to-read guidebook on making money as a freelancer. There are lots of great tips and the author has done the research so that you don't have to spend hours searching the Web or going to the library to find information like hourly rates and things to know (like health insurance and other small business issues).
