Where can I ask a freelancing business question?

A freelancer discussion community for running freelance work — with bans on ads, hiring posts, surveys, referrals and off-topic client-hiring chatter.

Rates, contracts, clients and solo-business process questions for freelancers need a freelancer-focused room. r/freelance is for freelancers and people who want to become one. Hiring posts belong on for-hire communities instead.

Where to ask

r/freelance

Best for: Discussion of freelancing practice, clients and solo-business process from the freelancer’s side.

Why it fits: Its public description: “Articles of interest for freelancers and people who want to become one.”

Rules to know before posting:

  • No advertising or self-promotion (apps, portfolios-as-ads, freelance-site profiles, your blog posts, mailing lists and similar).
  • No hiring or soliciting work — use r/forhire for that, including partner-finding pitches.
  • No surveys or market-research fishing.
  • No referral URLs or shortened links.
  • Stay on freelancing — hiring-manager topics and unrelated posts are off-topic.
  • No bots or automated users.
  • Follow Reddiquette.
  • No duplicate posts — search before asking.

Before you post

  • State your field, country and whether the issue is rates, contracts, taxes or client communication.
  • Etsy-shop seller questions fit the Etsy-seller where-to-post page; general small-business ops may fit that page too.
  • Legal contract review needs a legal where-to-post page or a qualified professional — not forum guesswork alone.
