Great article.

Sadly, I’ve noticed that a very common tactic around here is “badmouth your competitors”. Perhaps it’s a small-town thing.

Hi, Celine! I personally consider other freelancers as competitors because I know I have a lot of things to learn from them as well. But I agree that knowing how they work and knowing how to set yourself apart from the pack is essential to keeping that competitive edge. :)

I get top results in Google and so I’m always booked with work – a blessing, I know it – but that often results in me getting more work than I can handle. I know of other freelancers who aren’t able to go without a day job and to those which I can rely on, I try and send as much work their way as I can.

Others did and still do the same for me, and I think it’s up to us to stick together, not try and pull 5% from each other just for sending a name out.
