The Wealthy Freelancer – Book Review

The Wealthy Freelancer: 12 Secrets to a Great Income and an Enviable Lifestyle (affiliate link) is a book worth getting if you are a freelancer of any kind. Check out my video review below:

If you can’t see The Wealthy Freelancer Book Review video in your email or reader, watch it on the blog.

The Wealthy Freelancer covers major aspects of freelancing in a confident, casual style:

• How to get the projects you really want to work on
• How to get the clients you really want to work with—and who really want to work with you
• How to get the income you desire (lots of great stuff in here about pricing, fees, getting paid, and dealing with clients)
• How to have the work/life balance, priorities, and freelancer lifestyle you’ve always wanted—from guys with a lot of experience living in the freelance trenches

If you are a rank beginner at freelancing, maybe this shouldn’t be the very first book you read. It seems to me The Wealthy Freelancer is a much better fit for those who have already dipped their toes in the freelance waters. In that case, this should definitely be at least the second book you ever read on freelancing.

Couple of fun facts: These guys are blog consulting clients of mine. I helped them over a year ago with their original blog design and launch strategy. Since then, I’ve helped them a number of times with strategy and tactics regarding their blog & social media marketing—especially getting ready for the publication of The Wealthy Freelancer book. I’m also featured in the book (page 152), which is fun.

You should not get it because I’m in it (that would be the worst reason). And that’s not why I like it, either. It’s just a practical, approachable book. Everything in it is just… useful. Everything in this book can be dropped right into your own freelancing life for results. I recommend it for that reason.
