\"Staying<\/a>Let\u2019s welcome back Andrea Reider<\/a> as she shares with us \u201cStaying Freelance.\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

I wrote<\/strong> “Staying Freelance<\/a>” to inspire and advise fellow freelancers on how to build and maintain their careers for the long-term.<\/p>\n

My goal is to show people how to “stay” freelance not just “go” freelance, and how to maximize their freelance income and achieve long-term financial stability.<\/p>\n

The following excerpt from \u201cStaying Freelance\u201d<\/strong> is about how I got my start as a book publishing freelancer:<\/p>\n

A temporary employment agency placed me in my first job in San Francisco, working in the downtown headquarters of a large manufacturing company.<\/p>\n

I was hired as part of a test to see whether they should invest in new Macintosh desktop publishing equipment or go with the IBM PC equivalent.<\/p>\n

My job was to use the Macintosh computer to lay out a large manual using the popular layout program Aldus PageMaker.<\/p>\n

Another woman was hired to work on an IBM computer using the page layout program Ventura Graphics.<\/p>\n

At this time<\/strong>, the Macintosh computer and the Aldus PageMaker were much better suited to desktop publishing applications and eventually came to dominate in the graphic design industry.<\/p>\n

The advantage of working on the better desktop publishing system and my experience from working at the typesetting shop in Ann Arbor enabled me to finish my project in about a week.<\/p>\n

My IBM PC competitor on Ventura Graphics was still working on her project six weeks later.<\/p>\n

I found out later that the other woman<\/strong> had been the favorite of most of the secretaries at the company, and that they had all been rooting for her to beat me.<\/p>\n

My winning the competition meant that I was hired to help the company to develop their in-house desktop publishing department using Macintosh computers.<\/p>\n

I started out making $14 per hour as a temporary worker, which was a decent wage in 1987.<\/p>\n

After making myself very useful and with some bargaining, the company bought out my contract with the temporary agency, and agreed to pay me $20 per hour, which they ultimately raised to $25 per hour.<\/p>\n

Although consultants in other fields<\/strong> were then charging as much as $50 to $100 per hour and more for their services, I was now making enough steady money to enable me to move out of my parents\u2019 house and into my first San Francisco apartment.<\/p>\n

I found a cute and tiny studio apartment in the Nob Hill district, two blocks from the Fairmont Hotel.<\/p>\n

It was within walking distance to my favorite hangout, the Caffe Trieste in North Beach. This was a big plus to me at the time, as the Caffe had become the center of my social life outside of my work and family.<\/p>\n

There was always something to do when I was working at our family men’s clothing store in Detroit, even if it meant vacuuming the carpet, making coffee, or just straightening up the merchandise on display.<\/p>\n
