A series of freelance texts written by industry professionals

Hello again, dear readers of "Habra". We hope the May holidays have gone right for you. Who about what, and we - again about freelancing. Recently, we started posting texts written by freelancers, including users, about freelancing on Payoneer's official blog.

Rather, the texts are not about freelancing in general, but about current issues and problems that almost every freelancer faces in a particular segment of work or career. Freelance writers talk about the difficulties of working in the global market; how to attract the attention of a potential client and make the client choose you from a number of freelancers who have responded; how to determine the cost of the project; how to find customers through “Habra”, how to turn from two developers into an impressive company; how to determine the hourly rate or cost of the project, how to choose another freelancer for a subcontract and about many, many other things.

The project was attended by such authors as:
jff
Yalantis
taxigy
Terras
malroc
dmitry_pavlov

Here are some of these materials, as new texts are released, we will update the links.
