Hi,
I've recently started contemplating the possibility of getting into freestyle and there are several things I am wondering about.
1. From what I understand it's difficult to get into freelance without contacts, how does one get industry contacts?
2. How does one best go about charging employers? Is it better to charge by the hour or by the model?
3. How much should I charge/get paid?
4. Is it a good idea to contact outsourcing companies or go directly to games companies?
5. Which companies are likely to be interested in freelancers and what's the best way of contacting them?
If anyone's able to help I'd be really grateful. Cheers for any help you can give
