Guía práctica del autónomo novato

Like all novice freelancers, the author was learning by stumbling (and still does every day), and for this reason she has decided to share in this book everything she would have liked to know before becoming a freelancer. In a way, it is as if someone who had just hit the ground on his face was pointing out the stone that we are probably going to run into as well. It may not be able to prevent us from falling, but surely we will be better prepared for it and we will be able to avoid breaking something. In the Practical guide for the novice self-employed (updated to the 2022 regulations) we will find tips, techniques and practical learning to start working on your own in a digital business. All this told in the first person and in an entertaining way that helps us face the adventure of being freelance professionals. The book is divided into three parts. In the first, The life of the self-employed, we will discover the characteristics of the sector and the advantages and disadvantages of this style of work and life. In the second part, Preliminary steps, we will learn to define the structure of our occupation and what strategy we want to follow with a Business Model Canvas, to create a portfolio or prototype and to create our own website with WordPress without spending a fortune. In the third part, Business in progress, the ways of looking for clients and promoting ourselves are deepened, in launching a campaign on Facebook or Instagram and in how to register as a freelancer, the payment of installments and what we should put on the invoices. It also includes tips on how to maintain a good relationship with clients, as well as productivity techniques or how to build our personal brand. Without a doubt, reading this book will help us launch ourselves to pursue the job of our dreams and enjoy the emotional rollercoaster of becoming autonomous. Nobody said being a novice freelancer was easy, but with this guide it's going to be a little bit more.
