Hiring a freelancer, or being hired as a freelancer, can be scary - there are lots of unknowns, deadlines, reputations, money, and other factors on the line that cause this stress and anxiety. But it doesn't have to be that way! Jordan hires freelancers regularly for her job, and she also helps me with freelancing for Droi Media, so she has some great insight on this topic. Join Jordan and I as we talk openly about what it's like hiring a freelancer! Some topics we cover in this are how to find and approach freelancers, managing expectations, some do's and don't's while working on the project, and more!
While this is geared towards freelance video producers and filmmakers there's a lot of overlap and takeaways for other freelance industries like design or photography.
