A Freelancer’s Cancellation Experience

The other day I blogged about my experience on Twitter and getting involved in a discussion about the cancellation of a web design contract. The originator of the discussion has blogged about the experience as well AND provided some great tips and insight on how to hand such situations.

Stop by and check out Andrew Turner's blog Freelance Experience #01 - Cancellation. Great synopsis of the situation and how he handled it as well as commenting on the advice and tips received in the process while discussing on Twitter.

Twitter Benefits Realized

blog_twitter1So I am still finding my way with Twitter and its benefits. Today I got involved in a discussion about cancellation of a web design contract and what to expect payment wise when you have already been working on the project. The basics of the discussion involved what does your contract say in regards to cancellation. It was a thought provoking discussion that quickly grew as more and more got involved.

A worthy discussion for new and experienced designers. View some of the "tweets" (discussion) on my Twitter .  Originating question was started by Andrew Turner.  I discovered it thanks to my following of Freelance Switch.

In relation to that, in the midst of the discussion, I checked out various other Twitter members along with their websites. One of which gave GREAT information to a newbie such as myself.  Check out this blog post on The Basics of Twitter by Joe Casabona.

I ended up following a few members in the discussion thanks to the original tweet. Worth the read and Twitter is STILL free to join.
