Sommer started this nonprofit to bring wedding industry professionals and private donors together to fund awareness, outreach, education, and research for breast cancer.span id="more-17569"/span/p
h2You lost someone to breast cancer when you were 12. You#8217;re in your 30s now. How do you sustain your passion? Especially when you are so busy with emilie inc?/h2
pI was very young when my mom#8217;s best friend lost her battle to breast cancer. It was one of those pivotal moments in life?a memory I can recall as clear as day?that truly affected me as I grew up./p
pAs that particular type of cancer became more wide-spread and talked about from my childhood into adulthood, and fundraisers such as walks and donating healthy hair for wigs, donating to breast cancer research was a no-brainer. When I started my business in 2003, giving back to the community in some philanthropic way was always a part of my business plan. I was raised to always give to charity as much and as often as I could. I wouldn#8217;t say sustaining my passion for helping to fund a cure for breast cancer is ever an issue, it#8217;s just a part of who I am. I have great hope we#8217;ll see a cure in our lifetime./p
h2How do breast cancer awareness and wedding professionals go together?/h2
pIt#8217;s far too common a disease to not try and bring awareness to an industry whose core is love and family. The statistics are staggering?one in seven women will be diagnosed in her lifetime./p
pI have photographed more than 300 weddings?the odds among my brides alone are depressing. I#8217;ve photographed far too many weddings where either the bride or groom#8217;s mother passed away from breast cancer and a special candle is lit in her honor, a chair left empty, a poem read aloud. It tears at my heart every time and just doesn#8217;t seem right. As a new mother myself, I get ill thinking what if I weren#8217;t, God forbid, alive to attend such a milestone in my own son#8217;s life./p
h2How has Pink Initiative affected your photography business?/h2
pI have always donated part of my income to breast cancer research, so that part hasn#8217;t changed. There was never any other motivation other than an urgent need to want to do more. I adore the sense of community our non-profit has created around this particular issue and am bowled over by the love, generosity, and dedication our membership shares. When I shop, I am inclined to do so if I know part of what I am purchasing will support the greater good. Emilie inc. tends to attract clients who feel the same and are proud of what we do for breast cancer fundraising./p
h2How long have you been working on Pink Initiative? What is your overall goal?/h2
pWe have been in existence since October 2008. We simply want to bring breast cancer awareness to the wedding world and empower our membership to host grassroots events within their own community to spread our message even further. Members have organized golf tournaments, portrait marathons, networking cocktail parties, and more./p
pEach year we choose a different recipient to receive the funds we have raised during that calendar year. Last year we hosted a mobile mammography van day through the a href="http://www.dana-farber.org/"Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/a in Boston. Free mammograms were given to 35 women who otherwise couldn#8217;t have afforded the test. Five scans showed abnormal results. FIVE. We potentially saved five lives that day. To me, though simple in scope, that was an enormously successful day./p
h2Why should other people (freelancers, creatives) find a mission or organization to volunteer for?/h2
pCreatives are typically very passionate people, so finding an outlet to volunteer is a natural extension of their work, it is not forced. Giving and sharing of yourself beyond your occupation title provides a nice balance in an otherwise work-work-work centric lifestyle./p

pWhy a LinkedIn book? LinkedIn veteran and FreelanceSwitch writer�a href="http://www.urbanmusewriter.com/about"Susan Johnston/a was encouraged to write a guide on LinkedIn after noticing something: #8220;Although LinkedIn is a fantastic platform for freelancers and other creative professionals, I noticed that much of the information on LinkedIn is geared towards job-seekers. So, I decided to create my own guide specifically tailored to people who consult, freelance, or own a business.#8221;�In�emLinkedIn and Lovin#8217; It/em, Susan Johnston teaches you how to build a rock solid LinkedIn network that can be a constant source for recommendations and referrals. Advice includes:/p
ul
liSetting up every aspect of your profile to bank on maximum response./li
liBuild your network to reach your next top client, employer, or partner./li
liBuild your profile to get your work in the spotlight./li
liDo research on the competition amp; companies, find jobs, gather data./li

pWe#8217;ve had a few posts recently discussing the usefulness of networking sites like LinkedIn for freelancers:�a href="http://freelanceswitch.com/freelancing-essentials/linkedin-networking/"5 Reasons to Use LinkedIn/a,�a href="http://freelanceswitch.com/finding/open-thread-are-you-getting-clients-on-linkedin/"Are You Getting Clients on LinkedIn?/a And over on Rockable Press#8217;s own a href="http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Rockable-Press-4087645"LinkedIn Group/a, we#8217;ve had a a href="http://lnkd.in/ByQ36U"fantastic discussion /afull of tips for freelancers looking to network. Read on for some of the tips from our readers!/p
blockquotepSince I#8217;m a FreelanceSwitch writer, I have to keep coming up with ideas for articles. Since LinkedIn is one of those places where you have to write in order to communicate, it#8217;s a great generator of raw material.�Say someone asks a question, I answer it, and I happen to think that my answer is pretty clever. (It#8217;s one of those writer things. We all think that what we say is pretty clever.)/p
pSo, I take said clever answer, do the copy and paste thing, and there it is, the germ of another FreelanceSwitch article. Call it the LinkedIn Forced Writing Plan. (Martha Retallick)/p/blockquote
pspan id="more-18932"/span/p
blockquotepI do not really view LinkedIn as social media, or else I would not be using it. it is, to me, rather a traditional portal done right, which is a difficult thing to do. (Robert Jakobson)/p
pI find it an excellent resource for a networking tool. To be honest I think it is most helpful once you are in a position when dealing with existing people in the real world outside of Linkedin and once that initial connection is made they will connect on LinkedIn. (Azzam Sheikh)/p/blockquote
blockquotepGet #8220;Recommendations#8221; from everyone! LinkedIn above all is a credibility platform : where you get to showcase who you are AND ask people to endorse what you have done with or for them. That would then form the basis of beginning new business relationships, making strong existing ones, applying for jobs and having your participation on groups taken seriously. (Alap Ghosh)/p/blockquote
blockquotepThe main way I use it is for it#8217;s #8216;Answers#8217;. I subscribe to the #8216;web development#8217; section of answers, and I receive them via RSS. I check in a couple of times a day and answer where I can. It adds value #8211; providing answers to people is a good thing, it establishes your expertise in an area (well, it can do if you answer often and well), and can potentially lead to work. (David Horn)/p/blockquote

Cal Evans and the Education of Freelance Developers

pa href='http://rss.buysellads.com/click.php?z=1259904k=f7b7931ec28da9e4ff2580bfd4eddb18a=11248c=2132135530' target='_blank'
img src='http://rss.buysellads.com/img.php?z=1259904k=f7b7931ec28da9e4ff2580bfd4eddb18a=11248c=2132135530' border='0' alt='' //a/pbr /pimg src="http://freelanceswitch.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/day-camp-dev.png" alt="" title="day-camp-dev" width="365" height="165" class="alignright size-full wp-image-18112" //p
pIt#8217;s not uncommon to find educational conferences and seminars for most professions. But finding educational opportunities when you#8217;re a freelancer can be a more difficult matter. /p
pCal Evans, the founder of a href="http://daycamp4developers.com/"Day Camp 4 Developers/a is looking to solve that problem ? at least for developers./p
h2The Importance of Educating Freelancers/h2
pWhether you#8217;re a developer, an illustrator or some entirely different variety of freelancer, getting the right skill sets to grow your business can be tough. Even identifying those skills can be problematic: there are plenty of great schools turning out top-notch developers and other creatives. But very few teach anything in the way of how to mange the business side, even down to the basics of how to create an invoice.span id="more-11248"/span/p
pEvans sees the problem among developers as well as other freelancers: #8220;Nobody teaches designers Business 101 or Marketing or Accounting#8230;Honestly, I think the biggest problem freelancers face these days are finding quality clients. A future Day Camp 4 Developers will address this topic because I think it#8217;s important.#8221;/p
pQuite a few freelancers depend on trial and error (and a few great blogs) to learn everything there is to know about the business side of our profession. That makes it harder than it needs to be to grow your freelance business and move forward. /p
pIf you#8217;re lucky, like Evans was, you might find a great mentor, but it takes a conscious choice to really learn the skills necessary: /p
blockquotepI learned the business side of development two ways. First, I had some great mentors in my career. Second, I learned a long time ago that there were kids coming up behind me that could code faster and longer than I could, so I made a conscious decision to move into development management to get out of their way./p/blockquote
h2The Value of Business Skills/h2
pThe typical freelancer doesn#8217;t sit down in front of her computer and design client websites for twenty years straight. We start and stop freelancing, pursue big projects, take the occasional long-term contract and generally evolve the way we earn a living. The more business skills we can develop, the better equipped we are to keep up that forward momentum that keeps good freelancers from stagnating./p
pEvans is no different. His work history is incredibly varied. #8220;I have been programming computers for 27 years now. I#8217;ve written everything from BBS Door games to medical transcription workflow systems,#8221; says Evans. /p
blockquotepI wrote my first dynamic web site in 1995 using the forerunner to ASP, IDC/HTX and IIS 1.0. My first data driven page was my resume. I was so proud I rushed in the next morning to show my boss. All he saw was that I had put my resume up on the web. He asked me #8216;Something you tryin#8217; to tell me?#8217; Since then I#8217;ve run a print shop, produced over 40 live concert videos and run an operations team for a mid-sized hosting company. Through it all though, I kept coming back to programming./p/blockquote
h2Day Camp 4 Developers/h2
pThe third a href="http://daycamp4developers.com/"Day Camp 4 Developers/a will take place on October 1st, 2011. The entire event will take place online, letting freelancers (as well as developers working for employers) attend without traveling. /p
pThe price is more in line with what freelancers are willing to pay for education ($40 per ticket) than many of the professional conferences out there. Evans has been involved in a number of major PHP conferences over the years, including chairing ZendCon, the Dutch PHP Conference and php|tek./p
blockquotepOne thing that has always bothered me is that at conferences, people want to see hard technical sessions. The soft-skills sessions are hard to sell to management so we tend not to approve them. Developers need these skills though; managing your career is just as important as MongoDB. So I decided to pick a few of them and put on a virtual conference. You don#8217;t get the personal interaction (the #8216;hallway track#8217; as my friend Chis Shiflett coined it) that you get at regular conferences but you do get the information, the fun of hanging out and just chatting with friends and the inspiration you need to put the information into action./p/blockquote
