Hello! This question may be too case-specific to give a good answer, but could you talk a bit about health insurance in the art industry, for studio jobs and freelancers? I have a stable non-art job paying my insurance while I deal with deductibles and copays for chronic illness. I know there’s freelancersunion and COBRA but I’m still curious in your personal experience: does art jobs provide stable insurance?

(Note - this answer applies to US residents only.)

Full-time studio jobs usually provide health insurance benefits just like any other job.

If you’re a freelancer, then you have to buy your own health insurance. (Or, if you’re lucky, you could receive benefits through a spouse’s insurance.)

Should you need to buy it for yourself, you can get an estimate of what your monthly premium would be through your state’s ACA (Obamacare) website. If you make under a certain income, the Affordable Care Act will pay for most (or all) of your monthly premium, but you’ll still have to pay your deductible and copays. If you make over that income limit, you’ll be paying your monthly premium on your own.

If you’d like to be a freelancer, but having health insurance benefits are really important to you, then keep that day job for now and freelance on the side. Over a few years you’ll get a sense of how much money you can reasonably expect to make. Then you can calculate whether you can afford to quit your job and pay your own health insurance costs.

I’m sorry the US healthcare system doesn’t make things easier for self-employed people.

The Freelance Isn’t Free Act is now NYC law. Time to bring it home!

Freelancers in NYC got a huge win on last Monday as the Freelancing Isn’t Free Act officially went into effect. In August of last year, we posted about the steps you can take to minimize late payments and avoid nonpayment from flakey clients. Shortly after, our good friends at Freelancers Union started pushing for new legislation in New York City that protects freelancers by providing legal recourse if you end up with a deadbeat client who refuses to pay you for your hard work. Fast forward a few months, and the Freelance Isn’t Free Act is now the first legislation of it’s kind that directly protects freelancers hard work! This is a huge win for not only freelancers in NYC but freelancers everywhere, as this legislation will hopefully set the precedent for cities and freelancers across the US. Sign the petition to help bring the Freelance Isn’t Free Act to your city and make sure you’re always protected by having a contract in place with each of your clients.

As a quick recap, we picked out some of the pieces from the bill that we are stoked about and wanted to share.

1) Any person or company who hires a freelance working must execute a written contract detailing the scope of work being performed, payment method, and when payment is due.

2) Payment in full will be required within 30 days of the completion of the project or of the payment due date, whichever is later.

3) If there is a breach of the above terms, the bill could be enforced by the Office of Labor Standards or such entity as the mayor may designate - freelancers would no longer be left to fend for themselves!

You can learn more about your newly afforded rights as a freelancer here.

Huge thank you to the Freelancer’s Union for spearheading this effort and congrats to you for pushing to make sure that it became law. We think NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio put it pretty well, "Freelancers aren’t free. It's now the law in New York City that they be paid on time, have the written contracts they deserve and have the tools to defend their rights."

This is a post from about.me – current sponsor of our SPARK program!

Are you a busy freelancer looking to attract new clients or build an audience? With about.me, you can create a page to present who you are and what you do in one link. Add a custom domain to your link (e.g. yourname.com) to take control of your online presence and present yourself professionally.

Get started today and use the coupon code FREELANCERSUNION to get 15% off your Domain + Page.

As a freelancer, you know you need a personal brand.

In order to get clients, people have to want to work with you. You have to sway them one way or another, and while your portfolio of work is a big part of that, your personality could be the icing on the cake.

But defining your personal brand is hard!

Here are five questions that’ll help you figure out how to position yourself as a freelancer in order to get more clients.

How do you describe yourself?

Sure, you’re caring. You have a great sense of humor. Your mom has always said that you’re special.

But those aren’t going to get your potential client to seal the deal with a contract.

✅ Make a list of 5 words that describe you.

Think of words that describe how you interact with people, specifically clients.

What words embody your work ethic and professional personality?

Feel free to crowd source this. Ask colleagues. Better yet, ask past clients whom you enjoyed working with.

Don’t forget to get aspirational here!

What words do you want people to use when they describe you and your work? How do you want people to see you in your field?

#ProTip: Stay away from “hardworking.” 😉

What part of your work do you love?

There has to be one part of your job that you like doing more than the rest – what is it and why?

✅ Make a list of your typical process with a client. Which part jumps out you as the ‘heck yes, I can’t wait to do that’ piece?

What part of your process do you tend to get lost in? What do you want to focus more on? What parts do you actually really dislike doing? Knowing your likes and dislikes will help you sell yourself to a client.

Are you a graphic designer who just really loves choosing the perfect color for a brand’s logo? Are you a photographer who spends hours editing to get the best possible final product? Are you a coach who loves public speaking?

Identify a piece of your work that really makes you tick.

Naming the part of your work that you’re most passionate about not only gets you excited, but it can get potential clients excited too.

What part of your work are you really good at?

Defining which aspects of your work you excel at makes it easy to sell yourself and find your niche.

✅ Review your client process and identify the piece that you’re really good at. Now, write it as a value prop for potential clients.

Examples:

I can quickly make the web design we create a reality, using my background in HTML and CSS.

Using my background in publishing, I can help promote your e-book because I know exactly what makes readers click ‘Buy.’

I have built over 500 projects with Ruby on Rails.

Whatever it is, know what you’re good at.

Remember, this answer might be the same or totally different than #2–and that’s okay.

Who will you serve?

You can’t have everyone has your client. You can’t serve everyone and you shouldn’t. Successful freelancers find a niche clientbase and serve them well.

✅ Make a list of your top 10 ideal clients.

Who has been buying your services? Who do you want to be buying your services?

They can range from realistic to total dream.

Do the words you used to describe yourself in #1 match these clients’ values? What do these clients have in common? Who are their competitors?

Knowing your niche in terms of clientbase is important because it allows you to be very specific in terms of how you present yourself to the clients you target for new work.

Why do you do what you do?

So you know what makes you, you. You know what you love to do and what you do best. You know who you want to work with.

But why do you do it?

✅ Write your mission. What problem do you want to solve?

This is what truly makes you unique because no one has the same personal connection with your work as you do. Presumably, you’re a freelancer because you want independence to pursue what matters to you. Think on that and how you can articulate it so it makes ‘em want to sign on the dotted line right away.

Once you’ve really gotten to the core of your personal brand, it’s time to act on it. Having a central place to point people to, like an about.me page, is extremely useful. Your about.me ties your personal brand all together in one link. It’s one place that lets people learn more about who you are and what you do.

Get your link today.

Connect with fellow 1099ers in person at the March SPARK Meetup!

We know firsthand that diving into the world of self-employment comes with a ton of unknowns. In fact, Painless1099 was founded out of our personal pains of dealing with self-employment taxes. While we do our best to answer the common tax questions, we know there’s no replacement for in-person workshops and open conversation with a group of folks who are also navigating through the world of self-employment. That’s why we’re stoked to announce that Painless1099 is the Freelancers Union Spark Sponsor through tax day 2017!

What is Spark?

Spark is a monthly meetup for freelancers by freelancers. On the first Wednesday of every month, the Freelancers Union hosts Spark events in cities all around the country where freelancers come together to network, learn new skills, and work together to build a better freelance community. Each meeting is kicked off with time for networking where you can share what you’re working on and learn about some of the cool things other freelancers in your area are working on, and ask questions about anything you may be having trouble with. The second part of the meetup consists of a workshop covering tricky topics like building a strong marketing strategy or how to deliver a pitch that speaks your client’s language. This is a great way to learn about the tricks and tools your peers are using to get ahead - who knows, you may even find yourself a mentor!

What should I expect from this collab?

With tax season just around the corner, it’s only fitting that Painless1099 and the Freelancers Union team up to make sure you have all the “must know” information to get you through tax season. It all starts with March’s Spark tax workshop. This workshop will cover areas like how to stay on top of your cash flow throughout the year, common expenses that should be on your radar, and tax changes that you need to be aware of in 2017. The fun doesn’t stop there though; we’ll continue working together to bring you top tier content on how you can get the needle moving in your freelance career.

What if I can’t make this month’s event?

If you don’t get a chance to make it out to next month’s tax workshop, fear not! We’re working on putting together a webinar to make sure you get the scoop on handling self-employment taxes and are more than ready for Uncle Sam this year. We’ll have more info on the webinar soon - be sure to sign up for our monthly newsletter to stay in the loop! If you’re interested in joining the conversation with like minded freelancers in your area or industry - check out the Freelancers Union Hives Groups.

It’s way too easy to become disconnected from the outside world when you can work from home everyday, however, living in a box can be detrimental to your freelance career. Working with others helps you build new skills, stimulate your creativity, and avoid some of the mistakes others have already made. Make sure you also try working with folks who aren’t in the same line of work as yourself - they can help you see creative solutions to problems you’ve been struggling with. Check out the Spark homepage to find out how you can start engaging with your community and find an event near you!
