One of my all-time favorite people has penned a book for freelancers. James Chartrand and Mason Hipp have collaborated to create a guide to help you release your freelance potential, and I couldn’t be more excited. Not just because this book has two fantastic authors, either. This project has heart.

The Unlimited Freelancer: The Book and the Dream

According to the promo page,The Unlimited Freelancer is a how-to guide for anyone who has experienced that point where your dreams of freelance freedom meet the hard reality of a freelance life. Hipp and Chartrand walk you through how to make more money, avoid common freelancing mistakes, and how to save time by working smarter, not harder.

This advice comes from two of the best freelancers in the writing business, written by two who know what a roller coaster freelancing can be. The words are flung directly from the trenches of the freelance writing desk to the pages of The Unlimited Freelancer. James and Mason know what you’re struggling with; they’ve been there themselves, building a successful business with a shoestring, a dream, and a prayer.

The book releases January 14th, in both e-format first and a print edition later. You can sign up now to receive advanced notification of The Unlimited Freelancer news and get a free copy of “Why Some Freelancers Thrive and Others Barely Survive” to keep you busy until your copy arrives.

A big Blue Duck Congrats goes out to both Mason and James on creating such a timely, constructive, and heartfelt guide for those with the guts to chase down their dreams. The Unlimited Freelancer just pushed its way to the top of my required reading list week. Thanks guys for sharing your cookies with the rest of us.

Jamie, would you recommend it to someone thinking about "breaking into" freelancing or is it for those already on the path?

Hi B J,

Both actually. If you read it before starting your freelance business, you will avoid a TON of common mistakes. (Many I have made in my first 2 years freelancing). If you read it after you have an established business, you will pick up ideas on how to work smarter, not harder.

I joined Freshbooks today, and am looking into IAC-EZ tomorrow. I am excited about the time these two services will save me. :) Both services came directly from the e-book today. :)

OK, I got it, read it, and love it. Seriously.

If you are even thinking about freelancing, you need this book.

If you are already freelancing, you know what a nightmare it can be. This book can and will help. James and Mason give you no-nonsense, step by step instruction (with embedded links) on how to build a business, not just a job. What's the difference? A job runs you, you run a business.

Will you collect a paycheck if you take a week or two off? If you owned a business you would.

This isn't a sales pitch, it's a lifeboat.

I got this page in my inbox yesterday, and not off my reader. Someone I know sent it to me, They didn't know that you and I are crew, but they thought the book was a good fit for me. Maybe your review has legs!
