What is Work Notes?
Hi, I’m Dave. I’ve been freelancing for ten years.
Work Notes is a collection of articles written by me that explore freelance and self-employment topics like money, contracts, clients and well-being. It’s where I share and document my real life freelance experiences.
Most articles appeared on my web design blog first, but I’ll be expanding the collection as time allows.
To get the latest articles from Work Notes, follow me on Twitter or sign up for the mailing list.
If there’s a topic you’d like me to write about or a useful resource you think should be included, email me: dave@worknotes.co.uk
