A portion of my income is stable which allows me to be pickier about freelance clients. I no longer have to say yes to every project that comes my way and can focus on ones I feel most passionate about. As a result my portfolio has become super strong because its full of projects that are especially personal The or interesting to me. One of the challenges I often face is the urge to take on all the work that comes my waysomething my fellow freelancers and techies can usually relate to. Around the time I was doing Purrito Press I was also selling at conventions on the weekend organizing a nonprofit called Code for Orlandoopens in.
A new tab doing freelance web design and logo design volunteering with my Buy Bulk SMS Service colleges alumni chapter and mentoring at Skillcrush. Though I loved each and every one of these projects or roles it was too much I still needed to establish a balance between projects that generated income and projects that I really really liked but just werent bringing in the bills. Now I only do one big probono project a year usually for a nonprofit and always for an organization that has a message that resonates with me. When I first started out my probono limit was a lot higher because I needed the work and I loved the organizations who were approaching me but eventually I had to rein it in.
There is a finite amount of time in the dayand in your life. And we all need a certain amount of money to live I realized that every project or job I was doing needed to make sense both financially and in terms of my time. Still I often recommend to students that they consider work for nonprofits local organizations or other deserving groups if they think it will help them achieve other career goals like filling a portfolio with strong work to attract paying clients because that is what I found to be true for myself. Even though I only do one pro bono freelance project of my favorite pieces to show off.
