8 rules of freelancing which newbie should know:

Rule 1: never pick up a half done website.

Rule 2: never take a job where they want to "do things themselves". And don't work with fixed prices if you calculate your price on a best case scenario.

Rule 3: don't do content management

Rule 4: don't promise a sales target on their website.

Rule 5: start sending invoices every money and not just at the end of the project.

Rule 6: Put every website on your own webserver and don't release it untill it's paid.

Rule 7: Don't work for free.

Rule 8: Don't work for free.

Rule 6 is superseeded by: "Don't work for anyone that won't pay you in advance".

I know that lot of people fears about not being contracted because didn't FINISHED a fucking great work before, but, what I really fear is to waste 1 fucking minute of my life doing some shit that can't be reused (custom websites) and don't be paid.

Once you say, pay 50% in advance, you're doing the right client selection. Not paying? Don't you have money? Then why should I start anything?

It may be hard to start doing it, but when you start doing it, it's a pleasure.

Important one is missing: don't do anything before signing a contract.

Always keep your deadlines!
If you can't, don't accept/promise deadlines in the first place.
