We know about the advantages of full-time freelance work such as flexible hours, ability to work from home, more time with your family and the opportunity to earn a decent salary. But there will be times when freelancers will not receive a regular income due to factors such as a lack of clients, failure of clients to pay freelancers and slow periods during the year. If you are a freelancer who earns an irregular income, you can improve the situation by boosting your clientele. Go beyond the online freelance sites and contact local companies directly about doing work for them. Discuss your expertise and how it translates into success at the companies you’re interested in. Ask friends and relatives to let others know about your work along with samples. Start your own website and offer your services there. The next step is to live wisely with an irregular income and here is how to do it.

An interior designer is someone who visits homes and creates a design plan with input from the homeowner. The process starts with an initial meeting between the designer and homeowner where the homeowner discuss his vision for the design.
