There's a time and a place for exceptionally long-form posts that cover every single angle of a topic, but I find that often beginners tend to get overwhelmed with those. They ask me about setting rates and I can send them six thousand words on why employee rates aren't the same as freelance rates and how to set rates without shooting yourself in the foot and the side effects of not setting rates properly...or I can give them something that tells them exactly how to set their rates. The second one tends to get better results & is less overwhelming for the newbie freelancer, and that's where Spots comes in. At any rate, I had a lot of fun contributing to these guides & I think they’ll be valuable for anyone getting into freelancing or looking to grow their freelance business.

I've been watching Domino grow and evolve from the sidelines for over a year now, and it's been great. Alex & Chris have really listened to the amazing community that they've fostered and it's resulted in this resource which, IMO, is invaluable.

Thanks, Greg! One of the biggest issues facing freelancers is a lack of knowledge and experience with how to run their businesses. It directly contributes to stress, longer working hours and lower pay. Most freelancers learn through a painful and slow process of trial and error. We worked with the Domino community to create Spot from their collective experiences. Each spot guide is short, practical, and objective-oriented so they can be read and implemented within an afternoon. A huge thanks to Michelle, Paul, Raelina, Victor, Violeta, Jennifer, Marina, Jaime, Emily, Shayna & Lior from the nuSchool, Lanya & Joel for their contributions. We're eager to receive further contributions and to improve upon the guides that are already published. If you're interested in contributing, you can check out our content guide over at https://medium.com/the-maze/domi...

We worked with a lot of great freelancers to put these articles together. If there's any questions about running a freelance business that you're looking to find an answer to, let us know and we'll find someone to write about it. We've aimed for these to be clear, step-by-step guides; not marketing content full of bs and buzzwords which the internet is full of already:)

Great people and well detail information curated by freelancers!

I have been a member of the Domino community for ~8 months now and it has been invaluable. Alex and Chris are working hard to make an amazing platform and it is paying off. Great discussions are taking place and lots of good info for freelancers!

I've written a lot on freelancing (it's a passion of mine) and I have to say that Domino Spot is the perfect way to get concise, bite-sized, immediately relevant information. Whether you're just starting out as a freelancer, or you're already established, there's always something more to learn.
