1. Falling Deadlines

Time is money, so if you not succeed to finish your freelance project on time, your client may lose money by your wrong time planning. If you want further work, spend more time on planning your working time.

2. Always saying ‘yes’

Many freelancer are confused and afraid to lose the freelance job that when they communicate with their clients they always

agree with them. If you want to work for free, you can continue saying always ‘yes’ :)

3. Not sending detailed reports

Freelance work is not only coding. Usually, after finishing your work, you’ll have to send report about your work. If you

send your client a detailed report, you’ll show him/her that you take the work seriously.

4. Underestimate the Project

Never underestimate your project tasks. If they are too easy, finish them and after that take a rest. It’s a huge mistake to

read the tasks, decide that they are easy and to leave them for the last day. That could be a reason for a hard night coding :)

5. Working for only one client

If you work for only one client and something happen and you are not paid, you can get money problems. As they said don’t put all eggs at the same basket.

I hope you’ve found something useful in the tips above, soon I’ll post second part of the Common Freelance Mistakes.
