Many people prefer to process their information visually (V) and therefore think of the world in terms of visual references or pictures. Auditory (A) and kinaesthetic (K) people think primarily in sounds and feelings, but you want all of them to read and react to any content you may put out. 18 Jan 2018 Read more

I have had a question come in from freelancers about the benefits of contract work, as opposed to freelancing and whether agreeing to contract work means you are no longer a freelancer. 28 Jun 2016 Read more

You need to decide how much you would like to earn each month, as a freelancer. I have found the best way to calculate this is to use the third rule system - one-third to live on (your salary), one-third for taxes, overheads and normal day-to-day company needs and one-third to savings against the financial crash that hits at least once a decade, or as a hedge fund for retirement. 25 Apr 2016 Read more

Many companies need sponsorship to meet critical objectives and this is often achieved through events. However, given that most major corporations receive numerous requests for sponsorship, it is necessary to craft a sponsorship proposal that answers the major questions of who, what, when, where and why the company would benefit from its collaboration. 28 Feb 2016 Read more
