More and more musician friends of mine seem to be doing more freelance work nowadays. With the current state of our economy, steady paying gigs for working musicians are becoming harder to find. So, instead of relying on one band’s gig schedule, freelancing seems to help bring in much needed income in-between gigs. Freelance work can come in all sorts of ways, from composing short incidental music to adding a bassline track to an existing demo. And thanks to the internet, freelance jobs are now easier to find. Freelance Nation is a great online resource that help match businesses with qualified freelancers. Since the website is focused solely on freelance work, it gives small businesses a targeted audience when posting available work. Freelancers on the site are able to create their very own profile that lists their specialized skills so that prospective employers can learn more about them. Freelance Nation also features a Freelance Forum to help facilitate communication among the members of the site. The website provides a great service and folks like web designers, programmers, writers, editors as well as creative artists can all benefit from becoming an active member of the site. Even I’ll be joining the service since I can freelance as an online music blogger! Get connected by signing up today.
