The Importance of Socializing for Freelancers
The Freelance Blog: "I had a client meeting last week with a new prospect. As I put on my khaki pants, blouse and boots—my “dressy” outfit—I groaned at the thought of meeting the guy. Sure, I want to develop my business more. Network. Get more clients and all that jazz. But at the time, it just seemed like so much work. I’m so accustomed to being holed up in my home office alone."

This is something that is always stressed by my Dad, who works freelance. He is always saying that you can only get work if you are constantly talking to people. The freelance industry is booming but it is truly all about who you know so stay in touch with people. Often most personnel assignments will come from recommendations so on top of face to face contact there is also a strong push to be active enough to be known so that someone can say "Oh, I know that person, they're good."
