An informative guide! The freelance business sure seems like a tough one, especially the freelance sites, where people from low-wage countries can work for a tenth of the rate you need to get what they do at that salary. Getting a network of clients via word of mouth, locally, seems like a better route unless you live in one of those countries.
I've only tried design myself though, interesting read on the animated angle of it all. And what a perfect visual forthat Life of Pi budget. XD Good read.
