<dt>Q:Why does one <strong>want to become</strong> a freelancer?</dt>
<dd>A:To get an independent and decent source of income, to become their own boss, manage their time any way they want. That kind of talk.</dd>
<dt>Q: How does one <strong>become</strong> a freelancer?</dt>
<dd>A:By <strong>not</strong> choosing clients who are pain in the ass.</dd>
<p>Constant pain in the ass leads to frustration. By getting frustrated you drain yourself. Your skills deteriorate. You develop slower. This is not freelancing. This is <strong>ant working</strong>. You can just as well &#8216;<em>freelance sell groceries</em>&#8216;, or &#8216;<em>freelance wash cars</em>&#8216; in a car wash.</p>
<hr />
<p>A good freelancer is a good salesman. Being highly skilled in whatever you do is not enough. You need to know <strong>how to sell</strong> it. If you let the client make all the decisions in disagreement with you, and if you let that happen for a long period of time, and if that can&#8217;t be changed due to the client&#8217;s nature, let it go. Go somewhere else. If you don&#8217;t, you&#8217;ll end up hating what you do and treating it as the least enjoyable time during the day you have to waste in order to keep you going.</p>
<p>There are millions of clients out there. The chances are the more you look, the better the people you will hook up with. Don&#8217;t get stagnant, it&#8217;s the worst thing an aspiring individual wanting to become a  freelancer can do.</p>
<p>I needed to write these thoughts down to clear my mind but hope it helps some of you as well. In fact leave a comment or two if it does!</p>

<p>It&#8217;s also worth mentioning that we&#8217;re planning to release Woohoo in html5 canvas some time later. Will it be the same? No. We have a few ideas on our minds that in theory at least sound as good alternatives to what&#8217;s out there on the market already. Stay tuned ;)</p>
