Freelancing Live Q&A - How to get started

Fabio Zammit - May 5 '20 - - Dev Community

TLDR: I am organising a live Q&A about freelancing, targeted at developers who wish to start in the coming weeks. Should this have a positive response, I will organise a series of webinars in the coming weeks.

Completely free, no selling of courses, no get rich quick schemes, just pure value.

The why

For the past few months, I have been pondering of ways I can add value to the overall dev community and after posting this article, back in 2018 (https://dev.to/fzammit/10-lessons-from-a-software-engineer--freelancer-1fho) I decided it is high time I get to share my experience as a freelancer, 15 years of it (Gawd, time flies).

I always loved the idea of a community as it brings a certain energy to the place. In the past, I used to organise meet-ups with friends and we used to have over 200 attendees, from different backgrounds (freelancers, creatives, architects, designers, developers etc) https://business.facebook.com/heydayofficial/ and now I want to create something similar for freelancers, specifically developers.

Experiment

This is an experiment as I have no idea what the response will be like....but the idea is to organise a series of webinars split into recommended strategies (40% of the time) and questions and answers (60% of the time). I want to hear about your successes, struggles, why maybe you haven't started and what might be holding you back.

The target audience is for anyone starting off or might have 1 or 2 clients.

If you are asking whether this is the right time? There is never a right time and from my experience during the recession in 2009, this can work. More on this in the webinar...
