Hi Jake,
ReplyDeleteI was forwarded the survey from a freelance mailing list I'm on, and I took it. Thanks for making this data available.
If I may make a request - I would love to see more granularity in the 2010 report. Of new freelancers, how many said that taxes were their most hated issue? Of those with 10+ years of experience, what was the average hourly rate? I get the feeling you're doing this with very little outside help, and want to make it clear that I really appreciate the opportunity to take this survey and see the results, but if it is possible to see some more detailed, er, detail, I would appreciate it. And if you want a volunteer to help sort data, count me in. Really.
Thanks for your note, Rachel. Truth be told, I didn't really have enough data the first year to make such breakouts worthwhile. The cool news is that I've already gotten more freelancer responses in just 4 days than I got in more than a month last time. It would be spectacular if each freelancer would encourage a client or two to participate (*hint hint*). That would benefit everyone and make for a far richer data set.

I sent the survey info to some of my clients and hopefully they will ring in. :) Also, will post on Freelance-Zone.com on Wed next week. (The blog will automatically update the info to Twitter and Facebook, so you'll be on there too)
ReplyDeleteAll the best!~
