Now that 2007 is here, there is no better time to own your success. Following are four steps to take to make 2007 the year you made freelancing your career once and for all. It ain’t going to be easy, but it is a plan everyone can put into action.

1. Set

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

Weekly Financial Goals: Why weekly? According to the November 2003 article in Money magazine, The 4 Steps To Setting Goals & 6 Keys To Achieving Them:

”One big reason people fail to reach their goals is that those goals were amorphous to

; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

Examples of combination products may in

egin with. A goal like "buying your first house soon" is too wishy-washy. Deciding that you'd like to buy a three-bedroom Cape on a half-acre within 30 minutes of your workplace before the next school year is much better.”

For freelance writers, this means

lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

etting immediate, reachable goals. Small successes spur you on to pursue bigger ones. I like daily goals even better because they force me to be super-focused on my financial objectives at all times.

If, for example, I want to make $200/day and I find th

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

t I’m $25 short, I’ll churn out a few articles for AssociatedContent.com, a content rich site that pays for articles.

Before you set freelance financial goals, you will want to get a handle on your personal finances – especially if you decide to quit yo

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

2. Get a Website: This is not an option, it’s a must. You can do it yourself, or pay someone, but don’t even consider starting without one. Why?

After launching a Web site, 41% of small businesses report an increase in their sales volume, and

ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc

more than half (55%) with a Web site say their sites have generated a profit or paid for themselves. SmallBusinessComputing.com, "Internet Future Bright for Small Businesses." January 14, 2003.

I’ve been a freelancer since 1993 and a lot of my business com

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

s from referrals, but I recently completed a job for a client who found me via a web search. He was opening a title insurance company and needed me to complete copy for his website.

At the completion of the project, he advised me that he will be offering ma

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

keting services to his industry to increase his referral rate (insurance agents, mortgage brokers, real estate agents, etc.). As he was pleased with my services, he wants me to be his “go-to referral source.”

This could be worth untold thousands to me over

and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

he next few years. Still wondering if you need a website? Finally, besides increasing your bottom line, it is hard enough to freelance without giving clients a reason not to hire you, eg, hiring a freelancer who does have a nice, professional site.

3. De

ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi

ide to Work Hard: If you are going to really make it as a freelancer, you are going to work harder than you are right now. Why? Because, you are either going to be doing two things at once, or working double time to make a go of it.

Doing Two Things at

ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

Following aspects would a

Once: If you decide to keep your job until your freelance career gets off the ground, you are going to have to come home and work at night, or get up earlier in the morning to work on your freelance business.

Accept this simple fact, make a schedule and get

dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

on with it!

Work Double Time: This is the opposite side of the coin. If you decide to quit your job, you are going to have to work 14, 16, or 18 hour days to replace your income – unless you have some savings.

Again, accept this fact. Once you make the dec

cts are meaningful and rational?
Which therapeutic categories to select?
Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
Do combin

sion that this will be your reality for a while, it will become the norm.

4. Find the Work: Now that you’ve decided to work hard, know what your financial goals are and have done the one marketing thing you need to do to find work -- it’s time to fin

tions increase the patient compliance?
What would be the developing cost?
How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen

the work!

There are so many ways to go about this, it’s impossible to detail this. Here, I will tell you what I’d do if I were just starting to freelance:

a) Find a guaranteed stream of income: Eg, a pay-per-article site like Associat

t?

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

dContent.com. Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with this site. I’ve just been a pleased contributor since April 2006. As I said earlier, you need little successes to inspire you to move on. Some days, this might be all the income you’ll ever make. BUT, star

ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

ting your day knowing you’ve made gas money will give you just the push you inspire you go s money is better than nothing

b) Make a certain number of contacts: Eg, real estate agents and mortgage brokers are my niche. So, I make it my business

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

to contact a certain number a day/week.

Success is a numbers game and if you continually make contact to a targeted niche offering them benefits (not features), you will eventually get work – that’s a 100% guarantee.

c) Create passive streams of inco

.

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

e: Eg, write an e-book, sell an e-course, open a virtual store (eg, CafePress.com). Here the goal is to have money coming in that you don’t have to devote a lot of time to.

Eg, once you write an e-book, it’s done. You can make money off of it for ye

elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

rs to come.

NOTE: The passive streams of income ideas mentioned here will, in my experience, only add a few hundred bucks a month to your bottom line. BUT, this can literally be the difference in continuing to freelance, or having to go back to a 9-5

tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products
