Collaboration & Proofing / Creative Freelance SeriesOctober 25

This is the continuation of the Creative Freelance Series (part 3) on Collaboration & Proofing/Approval. If you missed (part 1) on Project Management & Contacts or (part 2) on Invoicing, Time Tracking & Contracts, feel free to have a read and comment.

This is broken up into 4 parts and to make this a useful article, I am asking the creative community to participate as much as possible to gain insight into the applications/process you use and/or even worth paying for. Your answers don’t have to be long just concise. Of course I will weigh in with what I use (in the comments below).

The first 2 parts received detailed responses with some very helpful information. I hope you’ll continue to weigh in with parts 3-4!

The 4 Essential Parts:
