The Cost of Doing Business as an eLearning Freelancer

Описание: Many instructional designers think that the biggest expenses of freelancing is paying for your own eLearning development software. However, there are many more expenses to be aware of.

In this video, I break down some of the most common freelance expenses, including admin & legal fees, tools of the trade, taxes and insurance, office expenses, and more.

Some of these expenses will only apply to the United States, so you may need to look up the equivalent expenses in your country of residence. Also, I am not a legal or tax professional, so please consult a professional for your specific situation.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment letting me know :)
