<P CLASS="gmail_msg">Having a freelance career in anything from art to sound design to programming can be an equal mix of frustrating & rewarding. But do you find that people are running away screaming when you tell them your rates, & your profiles & website getting less traffic than the Cross Bronx Expressway at 3 AM? Did you play rent roulette this month because a client just stiffed you, AGAIN? Did you just hurl your phone at the wall because a company emailed you at 5:00 on a Friday asking you to complete a bunch of work for them by Monday morning as if you're their employee?</P>
<P CLASS="gmail_msg">If you answered yes to any of these questions, this is the class for you: you have a power-up hidden in you that hasn't been unlocked yet. And if you have no freelancing experience yet, you will learn how to avoid the pitfalls many people just entering the 1099 world fall into!</P>
