Valuable Freelancing Projects and Insights: From Design to Time-Saving Solutions

Hello, I have not worked as a freelancer and am currently a full-time employee. However, I would love to share valuable insights and experiences with you, particularly from freelancers who have excellent projects and success stories to share.

Custom Projects for the 17th Artillery Regiment Association

One of my favorite projects, indirectly related to freelancing, involved developing a website for the 17th Artillery Regiment Association. This was especially fitting as it was Veterans Day! The site we developed was not a fancy, modern creation; rather, we kept it old-school to reflect the pride and history of the organization's members.

Our primary goal was to migrate the existing static HTML site to WordPress, ensuring it was mobile-responsive and accessible. Along the way, we integrated some custom "members only" functionalities, like an interactive member roster. It was a rewarding project to be a part of, contributing to the story of these veterans in an impactful way.

Time-Saving and Profitable Freelancing Projects

Some of the most fulfilling freelancing projects involve providing solutions that not only meet client needs but also deliver incredible value in terms of time savings or profit. A great example is the ship-builder's parable.

The ship-builder's parable illustrates the concept of expertise. When you possess the knowledge to identify the exact point where a fix can be made to prevent months of work, you can charge whatever you consider fair. The client, in turn, is willing to pay because you have effectively saved the day and prevented the need for extensive and expensive repairs down the line.

Freelancers who can quickly and efficiently solve problems or optimize processes often command higher rates and are highly valued by clients. The key is to be a problem solver, not just a worker.

Conclusion

While I don't have firsthand experience as a freelancer, I strongly encourage future freelancers to focus on delivering solutions that add significant value to their clients. This can be through cutting-edge design, innovative technologies, or simply finding the quickest and most effective way to solve a problem.

Remember, freelancers are often paid based on the value they bring, so always strive to provide more than just the service itself.
