Tourism in the South of Spain - The Shift to Quality
Some changes that appear to be very complex are driven by very common principles. Take for example the shift to quality tourism in Spain, how does this process gain momentum?First of all the shift to quality tourism is a response on another trend that changes the scene. First of all there is a move to residential tourism and there is (the longer existing) influence of the budget-flights to popular destinations, like Malaga in the south of Spain. Both trends are interrelated because residential tourism brings in more families and rela

Use ready frameworks
It is easy to find ready frameworks for most programming languages. Some of them are really very good and can help you increase your programming speed two, three or more times. They provide you with sets of functions and classes which save you a lot trivial (and not so trivial) coding tasks. Many of these frameworks are free, some are commercial.

Need a Job? Put a Gun to Your Head
A legendary marketing genius once said that, if he had to write a killer sales letter, he would imagine he had a gun pointed at his head and that he would be shot if his advertising didn't deliver.This motivated him to create some of the world's most-profitable ads.Example: one of his sales letters was mailed more than 300 million times in the 1970s and produced up to $300,000 a day in sales. Not bad.So I got to thinking, if I had a gun to MY head and had to get a job fast, or risk execution, what would I do?I qu

Already started freelancing? How is it going? Great I hope. Hopefully you have outcome the main issues of the starter - fear, uncertainty, too little customers or too little time.
Now what, you still want something... You want to do it better? You want to be more successful freelancer. You want to work less and earn more.
There is nothing wrong with that. Here are 5 simple tips which will help you work smarter but not harder.
Reuse Your Code
I am sure I am not discovering the hot water with this. You already know to reuse your code, don't you? But do you really do it? Do you just copy-paste pieces of code or have you created an orderly framework with functions and classes? Think about it. You need libraries from functions, classes and pieces of code that you use often. Spend some time to create it and it will pay off great in the future.
There is also another way to reuse your code and experience. Once you complete a freelance project, immediately try to get involved in a similar one. You can easy offer lower price and short term for completion if you reuse your code from the previous project. Of course you have to make sure that you are not breaking the contract with your previous customer. Some freelance employers require exclusive rights to your work.
Outsource Time Consuming Tasks
Let me tell you a secret. The buyers in the freelance business are people like you. Usually they are single entrepreneurs or small teams - and not huge companies. Have you asked yourself why they are buyers and not freelancers (in fact some of them are both)? Because one can't do everything best. There are tasks that you are not good at or you just don't like. Why not hire another freelancer to complete that task?
Some freelance programmers hire designers for the design tasks for example. Others hire copyrighters to help them writing offers. But the possibilities are not limited to that. You can even hire another programmer in exactly the same field like you. If he or she is less experienced, but can write some boring codes for cheap, why not pay them and save your valuable time for the most important tasks? This will help you finish a project faster and get paid more for less work.
Use Ready Scripts
If you browse sites like Hotscripts you'll find that the most trivial tasks have been already solved by someone. Many of these scripts are given out for free, most of the others are fairly cheap. In any case it can save you a lot of time if you download or buy a ready script and then do the neccessery modifications.
Sometimes however the scripts are very badly written and it can take you more time to understand and modify them than to create yourself from scratch. It's all about how much you like to tweak someone else's code and how good the program that you buy is.

How to Manage Attrition Levels
One of the biggest costs for most employers in today’s market place is recruitment of quality staff.

Use the most effective advertising method
Being a freelancer you may happen to spend some money on advertising yourself. Either or creating and hosting a website or paying for subscription on some freelance site, promoting via PPC etc. But the most effective advertising method has always been word of mouth.
It's not hard to use its power. Just tell your happy customers that you would appreciate if they share with their friends and mates about you. Many won't do it if you don't ask, but will follow your request with pleasure. And you lose nothing if you ask, don't you?
