About the CFC

  • If you're a freelance designer, photographer, writer or anyone else in the creative arts trying to make a living at it—or wanting to make a better living at it, with more time to actually enjoy the rest of your life—the Creative Freelancer Conference is for you.
  • Created by Marketing Mentor and the people behind the HOW magazine and conference, this is the only gathering of its kind to focus on business skills for freelancers.

    This year's event will cover the art and science of pricing and money basics for freelancers, contracts and copyrights, perfecting your pitch and how to decide which online marketing tools are right for you, how to manage your clients (and their expectations) and staying organized amid the chaos.…everything the creative solopreneur needs to know to be strong and survive, by creative-business experts who’ve built successful solo careers themselves.
