Create Your Office On Small Spaces
Blog - Freelance

Most people said that we should have a comfort office so they could work in peace. Well, i have my small nice office/workshop, but it seems that i can't help myself to not going out at day, maybe for offline meetings, working outside, or else. So my office only used by me at night hahaha... It's only on 2m x 1m space. Hey look at that board? That's new, quite useful for putting notes there so i can reminding myself for important things, especially deadline projects. But i use it for hanging things there, so it becomes more useful right? Let it do multitasking things hahaha... That mirror not suppose to be there, i just can't find better place for that thing. Old notebook, and wireless mouse, scanner printer, boxes, etc. Above the desk i create 2 shelves for putting books.

Entertainment For Freelancers
Blog - Freelance

Nowadays there comes a lot of freelancers, most people think that working as a freelancers especially on the thing related to internet is rock! But in fact it's not really as they thought. As a web designer that already work freelance for about 2 years now, i can say there is always yin and yang, beside the good things, also there is stands bad things on the back. To work as a freelance web designer, it gives me the ability to work anytime anywhere. We can say that is a positive thing but i must admit that there is also negative part of working freelance.

One of the thing that comes to my mind is about how freelancers entertaining their selves. Why i said entertaining their selves? It's because when you work freelance, most of the time you will find your self working alone, maybe from your home, your own office, your bedroom, or other else. This situation (i believe) most of the time making us feel so kicked out from the real life. And to see your friends, become so important for you and priceless, but when you realized that most of your friends are busy, you will think of a way to see people around you when you're working. And when you feel so tired of doing your projects, you might think of somehow to entertainment your self. It's really important to put your self in a good mood, especially when you work on the creative lines.

9 Hal Penting Offline Meeting
Blog - Freelance

Mungkin banyak diantara kita yang selama ini bekerja sebagai freelancer online. Yang mana beberapa keuntungan dari bekerja sebagai online freelancer adalah tidak perlu merasakan kemacetan, tidak perlu wasting time untuk project yang belum tentu berjalan, dan juga tidak perlu keahlian khusus untuk melakukan presentasi di depan calon client. Jadi ada beberapa perbedaan freelance online dengan freelance offline. Saya sendiri bekerja sebagai offline dan online freelancer. Namun kali ini saya akan membagikan pengalaman saya tentang bagaimana bekerja sebagai offline freelancer. Di sini saya merangkum dalam beberapa point, yaitu 9 hal yang perlu diperhatikan oleh para offline freelancer saat akan melakukan offline meeting.

 

Jadwal Meeting

Saat kita menerima telephone dari calon client, yang entah dari mana datangnya. Ini sudah merupakan start yang bagus, setidaknya anda selangkah lebih maju daripada para tim sales. Karena yang sedang menghubungi anda adalah orang yang jelas membutuhkan jasa anda. Seharusnya bisa lebih mudah untuk anda menawarkan jasa anda. Yang paling penting di sini adalah atur jadwal meeting yang jelas dan juga tempatnya. Bisa di tempat umum, bisa di kantor client, bisa juga di kantor (workstation) anda sendiri. Jangan tanya darimana si calon client tahu tentang anda, karena akan terdengar kurang profesional dan menurut saya agak kurang sopan. Biasanya tanpa perlu kita tanya, si client akan memberitahu dengan sendirinya darimana dia mengetahui tentang anda. Add a comment

Portfolio Berbicara
Blog - Freelance

Mengenang masa-masa beberapa tahun lalu saat saya baru mulai merintis karir freelance web designer, saya akan bagikan sedikit dari apa yang saya alami terkait dengan seberapa penting portfolio dalam lingkup usaha design. Mengapa portfolio penting dalam bisnis design, terutama web design? Karena menurut saya, portfolio berbicara jauh lebih banyak dari sekedar kata-kata. Dulu ketika masih belum memiliki portfolio sama sekali, mencari client begitu sulit. Karena banyak faktor tentunya. Salah satu di antaranya adalah karena kapabilitas kita belum terlihat, dan orang tentunya ragu untuk "berjudi" melakukan kerja sama dengan kita. Dan langkah apa yang awalnya saya ambil? Tentu saja dengan mengumpulkan portfolio offline, bisa dalam bentuk graphic design (brosur, flyers, poster, dsb). Dan juga bisa dalam screenshot hasil kerja localhost untuk web design.
