Now that you’ve had some time to reflect, what was the single best lesson from FreelanceCamp Fort Collins that you’ve put to use?
For Nick, it was: if your services are priced so low that you can’t afford to hire someone to help, you’ve priced too low (from @RedHeadWriting)
Freelance Camp is a place to discuss and explore the different approaches to running a successful freelance business / service company. We have based our events on the Barcamp format, which is a network of user generated participatory events whose content is fully provided by the participants. Anyone with something to contribute or the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.
Each camp is run by a local team of volunteers and is put on for the benefit of the community (not for profit). Any left over proceedes are donated to help the next round of organizers with their city’s Freelance Camp.
Who should come? If you sell your services (or are considering it), you are a perfect fit: developer, designer, accountant, blogger / journalist, realtor, lawyer, carpenter, engineer, financial advisor, marketer, sales, musician, artist, inventor… We encourage all types of owners to come to provide a balanced perspective to the business of freelance.
* Get experience based answers to your questions.
* Network and meet people running successful freelance businesses.
* Form partnerships and collaborate.
* Find clients.
* Help others and be a person of influence.
—In addition to being around the best and brightest minds in Northern Colorado, your ticket gets you a locally catered breakfast and lunch, an afternoon snack and a sweet accessory from local clothing designer, Akinz. Any small amount of money left over at the end of the event will be donated to the next round of organizers for Freelance Camp which could be anywhere from California to London—
