How to Avoid Freelancing For Free?

Step #1. Keep a Written Record I have been through those times when my hard work was not measured by money. I was doing work for free. Those times included free and paid internships. One thing is common in both internships, you work but no money. In free internships, you don’t get paid at all […]
