Can I find Freelance job in Bangkok ?

November 92009

I am a master in Business (MBA) from Assumption University. I have done my Bachelors from Mumbai University in India. Currently I am looking for a freelance jobs in teaching English or any other article writing stuffs, or even making presentation for the company. Can anybody suggest me some ideas, or else if you have any contact person searching for this kind of people.

Note: It is just to earn an extra income in free time.

Since you just wanted to earn an extra income during your free time then Bangkok is the place. Go to one of the clubs in the evening and you will be issued with pretty dresses and a pair of huge bra, wigs and make up. All you need to do is just doll up yourself and pretend to sing on stage while the CD music is on and try to swing a little as well. Please to oblige, hope your request is solved, good luck?

Is it illegal to demand an initial security deposit before starting a web design freelance job?

November 62009

I’m recently starting up a freelance web design sole proprietorship on the side, and a recent client of mine backed out of a contract stating that it was illegal to demand a security deposit. From my research no actual signs point to this statement as being factual, yet I would like to confirm my suspicion.

In God We Trust. All others, pay upfront.

Unless you’ve run their credit, or a D&B on their business, you’re assuming all the risk for getting paid AFTER you’ve completed the work. Of course, if you’re dumb enough, I mean if you choose, to run your business that way, you’re entitled to do so. But nothing in the law prevents you from requiring full payment, partial payment, down payment, deposit, or retainer.

The customer may be always right, but some customers you’re better off without. Sounds like your client was one of them.

In fact, I do occasional work for political parties. I take cash or credit card for the full amount, up front, or no work. Republican or Democrat, both have screwed me in the past. As soon as the elections are over, the checks bounce and the temporary corporations they created have been dissolved.

How much commission should i give to someone that gets me a freelance job?

November 32009

Hi, i make 3d animation and motion graphics for tv ads. A friend recently got a deal with a tv network to make 30 animations, he wants to split the earnings 50-50 buy im doing all the work and all the equipment is mine, so I dont beleive a 50-50 split is fair, what percentage would be fair to give him for getting the job? I almost forgot but he got the job by showng my demo-reel.

Depends on the industry. In my day job I pay 8% of the net profit to my sales reps., in my sidework I’m a contractor and I get paid and agreed upon amount less a 15% commission. Ask around to some other designers in your field.

What does a cover letter for a freelance design job look like? Different from a regular design job letter?

November 12009

I’m a designer but I want to do some freelance work and I don’t know if I submit a cover letter as a response to an ad for a freelance designer like I would if I were apply for a firm job or if I submit a proposal or what.

Write a good cover letter, indicating your freedom to take on freelance jobs, and attach one sample of your work.

If you need a cover letter website, try:

Good luck!

Should I have to pay taxes on Freelance Job material costs?

October 302009

I did freelance work for a Library this past Summer. I received an honorarium from them of $5,000 which also included my cost for materials in the payment. Should I have to pay tax on the full amount of $5,000, since I really only earned about $3,000 of that minus the materials cost? I just received my 1099 form and it lists the full $5000 as compensation and therefore taxable.

You will report this income on schedule C (Form 1040). You can deduct your business related expenses. Your net income is subject to self employment tax at 15.3%.
