76- Entrepreneurs as freelancers — report summary

Struggling Biz

In this episode of The Struggling Biz, we deliver the results of a recent study and report by Craig Cannings for entrepreneurs who are freelancers. The web site for Craig is freelanceu.com (for his Freelance University). It is called the Freelance Skills Report. And it is free, if you wish to get it, from Craig by going to his site and requesting it.

If you are a professional freelancer, you may find this report of value, as it gives you the information and survey data you may need in order to steer your business for growing more revenue in this age of virus crisis problems.

In particular, the key topics that you may find interesting are:

– How COVID-19 has affected those actively working as Freelancers;

– The top technical and software skills that are most important to Freelancers today;

– The most requested services in 2020 during COVID-19;

– The most effective ways to find new clients;

– The best Social Networks to grow your business;

– And so much more, especially with charts and graphs that provide the results of the research and surveys that took place.


Now, for this podcaster, I have known Craig for many years. In fact, I had even interviewed him in 2014 for one of my podcast shows for entrepreneurs, and I had tried to get him to create a podcast show for his audience (which he later did).

Thus, I would recommend that this deliverable may be a good benefit for those of you who may consider yourselves as freelancers in today’s environment, and for that of the near future. This was especially important for me in the years of 2008 to 2015, when I did attend and support a barcamp-style conference called Freelance-Camp to support the freelancer community in my local area (which was informative and provided value for those who wanted to improve their business as freelancers).

So, if you are a freelancer (either in fact or an aspiring freelancer), we recommend that you sign up at Craig’s site and download and consume this 17-page report. It can perhaps spawn some new ideas and fresh avenues for you to pursue in making your business even more successful.

Thank you for your attention.
