#3I used to be one of those kid webmasters working from the basement of my parents. Though I did technically have a company. So having a company doesn't really mean anything.

Have you read the article? He is simply suggesting to get a business license and act as a company, instead of calling yourself "freelancer". Its a pure image/marketing thing, and I can see his point.

I think you're missing the point. He's still doing freelancing work, it's just packaged as being the owner of a consulting firm. The difference is subtle, but I think you see it in rates.

The base point of the article is that its all in how you market yourself.
Re: Stop Freelancing
#8Interesting. I've been toying around with this idea for a while, but inexperience with starting a company is prohibitive enough to prevent action.
How is your current freelance shell company marketed? I'd love to see what that website looks like, and how you advertise it differently.

#10I get the marketing / branding aspect. From a contractor's point of view, though, there still isn't any guarantee that the firm that is you that is doing contract work will do quality work - there is no audit system other than referrals anyway. I wonder why people are more inclined to refer companies than individuals. Do companies incur more overhead for the client?
