Freelancers?

If you’re a freelancer or even thinking about freelancing you don’t want to miss our panel discussion at FITC Toronto “Reality Cheque: Running a Freelance Business”! 

This session will dive into helpful and practical subject matter that they didn’t teach you in school. We’ll provide you with tips and techniques to help you run a successful freelance business. Topics will include how to set your rates, factoring in taxes, making sure a contract is in your best interest and how to market yourself. So bring along your questions as well.

Panelists include Dana DiTomaso LakeStreet Communications , Kendra Gadzala www.gadzala.com, Nadine Lessio nadinelessio.com, and Stacey Mulcahy bitchwhocodes.com. And I’ll be moderating (Ann-Marie Cheung FlashGoddess.com).

FITC is even offering a special discount for freelancers and those who are out of work or have been recently been laid off, pretty cool!

I’ve been coming to this event for the past 7 years and it has always been great! I can’t wait!

Your mobile phone can help fight global warming

If you have a used mobile phone, you can now return it to any Bell store across the country. Bell will donate $1.00 from the return of each used mobile phone to WWF-Canada’s climate change conservation efforts. Returned mobile phones will be reused or recycled, reducing the accumulation of e-waste in landfills.

In Canada, e-waste is now the fastest growing segment of solid waste. Bell has collected 232,000 phones since 2003, diverting 33 metric tons from landfill.
