Do you have what it takes?

With the Creative Freelancer Conference coming up soon (June 5-6 in Denver, early bird deadline April 15th) we thought it was a great time to look at the nitty-gritty of freelancing.

To do this, we shared a 3-part series of audio clips (from our presentation at last year’s HOW Conference called: Do You Have What It Takes To Be A Successful Freelancer) over on the CFC blog.

Here are the clips:

What's happening now & the myths and realities about freelancing (10:33)

The skills and personality traits needed to be a successful freelancer (12:34)

How to prepare for freelancing & the freedoms that come with the gig (19:24)

Or, you can listen to these clips on the Marketing Mentor Podcast Stream. (Subscribe to the RSS feed here.)

Not signed up for CFC 2010 yet? The early bird deadline has been extended through April 15th but won't be extended again. We promise. So go ahead and register here.

Really good clips, Ilise. Wish I could make it this year. Is there any way one could attend "virtually"? Would you ever consider taping/doing a podcast, etc. of the event?

Emily, we will be recording all the sessions, as we did the past 2 years (which you can find here: http://www.creativefreelancerstore.com
and we will have people blogging live on site.

But we are not yet simulcasting the event live, although that seems to be the direction of technology so who knows for 2011 and beyond.
