chris — Thu, 03 May 2007 04:28:37 +0000

Well, Ken’s been gone for about 5 months now… or has he? Sometimes you can do everything right. You prepare. You secure. You protect. And then something bad happens anyway. Join us in our latest water-soluble tale of misery and woe, and stick around for a few letters to boot. Then ask yourself, “is Ken Perkins REALLY gone?”

Ep 2-6 - The “M” show

Bob — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 03:19:37 +0000

“M is for mailbag. “M” is also for Matt. A while back we did a mailbag show and promised to dedicate a whole episode to, friend of the show, Matt’s question.

Matt asked us to track a job from start to finish… kind of like that School House Rock where a bill becomes a law…. Well it took a little while, but here it is. Starting with a phone call and ending with an invoice. This episode is all about the life cycle of a job. Thanks for writing in Matt.

Ep 2-5 - Wheel of Misfortune

Bob — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 03:08:43 +0000

How bad is it when you miss an interview? What if that interview was 800 miles away and started in 3 hours?

Well folks, you guessed it… it’s time for another Wheel of Misfortune. This time we hear from Chris and he tells us about a slow train, a bus comute and a missed plane. Poor Chris can’t catch a break, but he can catch a cold.

We got pretty busy these last few weeks, and so it took us a little longer than normal to get this show out, but we’re here.

Ep 2-4 - Interview with Mitch Joel: Taking Control of your Personal Branding

chris — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 05:19:53 +0000

In this fantastic episode, we speak with Mitch Joel, president of Twist Image and host of 6 Pixels of Separation, about the value and importance of building, not just your company brand, but also, in building your personal brand.

We all have a personal brand, whether we work on it or not. What people think of you. What they think of your values, your personality, your dependability, the quality of your work and your character. Its something that just exists. Grabbing hold of your personal brand, and making sure that people see you for who your really are, is a task that most of us neglect.

The fact of the matter is, if YOU don’t take control of your personal brand, then either someone else will, or worse, no one will, and it will present itself differently to everyone you meet. How do you take control of your personal brand? What kinds of action can you take to promote it? How does your elevator pitch fit in, and what’s the best way to introduce yourself to those who are in your network?

This interview is a favorite of both Bob and Chris. However, because we had so much fun doing it, the interview definitely ran long. Its a full hour. Some of the language in this episode is a little harsh, thus the explicit tag, but its nothing racy or explicit.

Bob — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 04:18:49 +0000

Welcome to season 2 episode 3. In this exciting episode Chris and Bob talk about money. Addressing the age old question… As a freelancer, how much do I charge? Chris and Bob discuss the difference between a full-time salary and a freelance pay check. How much do you need to make to equal what you might be taking home from your full-time position. Chris helps us out with a handy simple to use equation. Finally the boys say good-bye to an old friend and hello to a new beginning.

Ep 2-2 - Worst Episode Ever! - Wheel of Misfortune & Mailbag

chris — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 04:14:34 +0000

Welcome to the second episode of the new year and the second season. We’ve got a special Wheel this week from a favorite guest. Listen to find out who.After that, we have a brand new mailbag. We’re glad you are all taking the time to write in and share your ideas and ask questions. It helps keep us focused on sticking to the topics that you want to discuss.

However, there were a whole lotta problems all the way around with this episode.

First, we did the Mail Bag during the weekend of the big internet changeover in our town. Apparently, Comcast was taking over from Adelphia. So, we kept losing connectivity, and by the end of our 35 minutes of audio, we had spent about an hour and a half trying to record while dealing with dropped calls. Frustration reigned supreme at the end of that call.

Second, apparently Bob’s machine sometimes switches over into “super static” mode. So, even once we were finished, when I got the final audio, it was noisy.

Third, Bob is smack in the middle of some of his worst deadlines this year, so we couldn’t re-record. The decision: Do we miss an episode and re-record it in a week or two? Do I record it myself, all over (I can hear you now, “No, Please No!”) Or do I clean it up the best and I can and put it out as is? Right. Put it out! Here it is. Enjoy!

Ep 2-1 - Networking: Its not Who You Know, its Who Knows You.

chris — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 03:16:52 +0000

Know it or not, we all have a number of networks in our lives. Our friends. Our family. Our workmates. All are sub-networks within the larger network we call our lives. Networks happen every day, and as we change and grow, our networks change and grow with us. We use our networks for information, connections and help. We find great entertainment, deals, and services based on recommendations from our networks. Networking isn’t about selling, its about creating and passing along goodwill to those you work with, like, and respect. When you’re connected, it stops becoming about whether or not you can solve the problem, and instead becomes about whether or not your network can solve the problem. If you get that, you begin to see the power of networking. If you see the power of networking, then you start seeing the need to pay attention and manage your networking efforts. Networking isn’t about selling, its about connecting. It isn’t about selling, its about solving problems. It isn’t about selling, its about creating communities. It isn’t about selling, its about becoming top-of-mind to those who can help you build your business. Networking isn’t about selling, its about living.

Glad to get this interview out there. I interviewed Bill last November, just a couple of days after our interview with Michael Gerber, which caused such a stir amongst ourselves and some of our listeners, that we ended up revisiting the Gerber topic and sitting on this interview longer than we expected.

Show-n-Tell

chris — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 04:35:00 +0000

Hi! This is Chris. I’ll keep this real short. I’ve got another project that just went live called Show-n-Tell. Its at http://showandtell.libsyn.org. Basically, I’m podcasting my my daughter’s 1st grade class(es). Yeah, I’m doing all 3 classes, not just hers. Its been a lot of fun, and the interviews can only be called cute. You gotta like kids in order to enjoy them, but if you do, some of the stories that these kids tell are really funny.

We’re releasing 3 episodes per week, and they’re about 5 minutes long each. Its kind of a limited podcast, in that its only going to post through June of 2007, and after July, the entire site will probably come down.

The purpose, in case you’re wondering, is to introduce the kids to the concept of podcasting, and to educate their parents about what podcasting is, and how to subscribe.

If this sounds like you’re cup of tea, check it out.

Thanks,

Chris

Episode 11 - Deadlines: Keeping the Trains on Time

chris — Sat, 30 Dec 2006 18:58:44 +0000

Whether you are freelancing or employed, no doubt deadlines are part and parcel to your life. When you’re working for someone else, deadlines can be important, and missing them can have dire consequences. When you’re working for yourself, however, missing deadlines can destroy your business, leave you clientless, and kill your ability to find more work (or even a new job).

On the other hand, deadlines can be the fuel to keep your business running on time, keeping projects from being delayed, and keeping even the toughest clients happy with your results.

In this roundtable discussion, Bob, Ken and Chris discuss the importance of deadlines, how to keep them from becoming your downfall, and how to turn them to your advantage.

Also, Bob gives you would-be adventurers a pep talk and an art director’s perspective on getting your portfolio out there. Don’t Hesitate. Do it now. Not later. Don’t wait. Really. Why are you still reading this?

Episode 10 - Ken’s Deluge - Wheel of Misfortune and Mail Bag

chris — Sun, 17 Dec 2006 01:51:10 +0000

Welcome! In this episode of Answers for Freelancers!, we bring you a brand new Wheel of Misfortune of the liquid variety, and attempt to answer some questions posed in the comments on our site and from submitted emails. Questions include why our iTunes feed seems to be all screwed up, what kind of tips can we give moonlighters, and what kind of work should we put in our online portfolio.

Episode 9 - Answers for Non-Freelancers? A Follow-up Discussion of our Interview with Michael Gerber, the E-Myth man.

chris — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 19:29:16 +0000

In episode 8, we interviewed renowned business guru Michael Gerber, who had some very interesting thoughts on the very nature and business viability of freelancing. Michael’s remarks sparked some heated debates between Ken, Bob and Chris. So much so, that even before posting Michael’s interview, we knew we were going to have to follow it up with a discussion of our own on the subject. Are we actually telling you to stop freelancing? Yes! No! Maybe? Listen in and tell us what you think.

We take a hard look at the differences between freelancing and entrepreneurship. How are they fundamentally different? How do you apply Michael’s techniques to either to become more successful? Is one doomed to failure while another is a rocketship heading to the moon? Not necessarily, but until you understand the key features of each, you can’t really start to grow either, or grow beyond where you are now.

Give it a listen and weigh in. All of us, the hosts AND your fellow listeners, are anxious to know what you think. Where do you stand on this idea? Did you like the topic? Would you like to see us continue to offer more of this diverse type of subject matter? Let us know. Shoot us an email, leave a comment below, or drop us some audio using our My Chingo account to the left.

Yup, we know we were a little later than anticipated getting this out, but that just really goes to show the strong feeling we have on this subject. We’re glad you’re still with us.

Pod on. Chris, Bob and Ken

Episode 8 - Interview: Michael Gerber of E-Myth Worldwide and In The Dreaming Room

chris — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 05:05:08 +0000

Michael Gerber, author, entrepreneur, and acclaimed business consultant, talks to us about what happens when Freelancers are ready to start growing their business into a true company. The kind of business that allows the owner to touch the world in a way that is truly meaningful and allows him the freedom to pursue those interests, both inside and outside of work, that he feels are the most important.

If you have reached a point in your career where you are looking for this kind of growth, then this is an interview you don�t want to miss.

Freelancing is an idea that is full of romance and wonder; doing your own thing, anywhere you want, anytime you want. Traveling the world while creating your art, or working from home while watching your children grow up. Paying the bills when your �real job� disappears. Freelancing presents itself as an ideal solution to many people under various circumstances, and if it didn�t work, people all over the world wouldn�t be doing it.

However, the very nature of freelancing is this: as guns for hire, we only make money when we are producing. This means that eventually we hit a threshhold we cannot pass beyond, since we can only work so many hours, and we can only charge so much. Also, for most of us, as we get older, the number of people we are responsible for providing for keeps increasing. Finally, as creative individuals, most of us have all sorts of projects that we wish we could be working on, but our freelance duties keep us from accomplishing them. How do we move beyond that?

When its time for you to move beyond the pay-per-piece or pay-per-hour world of Freelancing, but you want to continue working as a independent artist, its time to get a fresh perspective on your business and what it will take to truly make the next phase of your career take flight. Our interview with Michael Gerber serves to open the door to this line of thinking, and we hope you will join us as we consider these new ideas.

Welcome to the New Site!

chris — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 05:00:25 +0000

OK. We�re still moving into our new diggs, but so far, all seems well and cozy. There are a few messes to clean up, the largest being the fact that it seems to be falling apart a bit in Internet Explorer on Windows (darn IE and its poor implementation of web standards). The site renders well in Safari, Firefox, Camino and other web browsers, but not IE. Here�s a piece of advice that you can see repeated all over the web. If you are running Windows, install and use Firefox. Its a better browser in many ways, and much more secure than IE. Its not perfect protection, but any help against viruses should be welcome. Looks like I�ll have a bit more work there. The second is our RSS feed. If you subscribed to our show directly from our old site, you�ll need to subscribe again, since the old feed won�t be updated anymore. If you subscribed through iTunes or some of the other directories, though, you should be OK. Also, you may notice that you get all of our old shows duplicated in your podcatcher. That�s a known side effect of moving your feed the way we just did. Sorry. Couldn�t be helped. Just go ahead and delete the duplicate entries.

So, if you need to resubscribe, our new feeds are located at:

http://www.answers-for-freelancers.com/index.php/about-podcasting/

Now, you might ask, WHY did we change our site to a WordPress Blog? Well, lots of reasons, really. First, its making things easier for us, since now all of us can post to the site, and also we don�t have to reload the ENTIRE SITE every time we make updates. You may remember we started off using iWeb, but we weren�t hosting on .Mac servers, so any little change required more work than we liked.
Second, it makes things easier for you, since WordPress allows for categorization, search and a number of other great ways to find content.

Third, its just a more versatile tool. You can leave comments; both written and audio. To leave an audio comment, just click on the MyChingo button in the sidebar, and away you go! We can add cool tools, like the PodPress player that lets you listen to our shows on your computer very easily. Just click on �Play in Pop-up� under one of our audio casts and you can surf the web while listening to the show. There are other items as well, but we�re not even going to attempt to lay them all out here.

Anyways, while iWeb helped us to get up and running quickly, we saw the limits early on, and began making plans to upgrade as soon as possible, and before you had too many programs to duplicate in your podcatcher.

Hope you like the new diggs as much as we do. Welcome!

Episode 7 - Interview: Pia Sj�lin of Pia Sj�lin Design LLC.

chris — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 03:42:09 +0000

Pia Sj�lin has been an independent artist since 1974. She has had a diverse career that includes such disciplines as glass blowing, fabric and textile design, fashion design, mural and faux painting, importing, exporting, and resale.

Now, Pia is bringing all of these talents and disciplines together as she begins her 4th business venture. Trying to eliminate the necessity of �matching� fabrics, wall papers, glass and other home decor items by creating entire sets based on the same patterns and looks, she is pushing all of her experience and skills to new horizons.

101 Pieces of Schwag for Chris

chris — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 19:50:59 +0000

Hey, its Chris. Some of you may or may not know it, but I�m a big fan of of Dennis Gray�s podcast 101 Uses for Babywipes, a podcast about parenting, but from a father�s point of view.

One of my favorite sections is the Toon Test, a little game where Dennis takes 3 children�s cartoons, and plays the first few seconds of their theme songs, which the listener has to guess at. Now, oddly enough, the better you do, the more of a look you need to take at your child�s TV intake. Sometimes the shows share a common theme, and sometimes they are contests for prizes. Anyway, a couple of his recent tests were contests for some 101 U4BW Schwag, and I said, �I�d like some of that.� And I did pretty good, actually.

So, here you go, Chris and Esmaya wearing their new hats and buttons. HEY, DENNIS! Thanks for the great show!

Episode 6 - What is the ArtGeek?

You�ll also notice that its a category listed on the left side of our blog.

In this installment of the Wheel of Misfortune, we go inside a job interview with Bob, and boy, what an interview it was(n�t). Lessons learned? Don�t be too cocky, look over your potential client�s business before you go in to meet with them, and think twice before taking life-drawings on an interview.

chris — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 01:24:58 +0000

So, Chris had been up really late for days on end, and just as he was shutting down one night, on popped Ken and Bob. Since all three were online, they decided to try and put together a promo, which they sorely needed. What ensued was Bob and Ken cracking up an already much too tired Chris, who was laughing so hard he could hardly contain himself. And of course, we all know how contagious laughter can be.
In the end, its not really too hard to guess that from 20 minutes of content, almost all of it was unusable.
