In a rapidly changing media environment, there is no longer a guarantee of a lifelong job in the industry. Portfolio careers, the gig economy – more and more of us are turning to the freelance life and what it can offer in terms of flexibility, diversity and being your own boss.
This workshop will give you an insight into an alternative model of working - whether you're new to the industry or looking to go freelance.
Who is the workshop aimed at?
The participants will be mainly new to freelancing, particularly journalism, or looking for a knowledge refresher to help them streamline their work, get on top of budgets and invoicing, and gain control over their efficiency.
The day will:
• Help delegates gain an insight into the practicalities of a freelance lifestyle
• Provide tips and tools for better financial planning and effective networking
• Encourage students and working professionals to share their experiences and concerns
- Offer an opportunity for new and experienced freelancers to meet and network with each other
This session will look at:
• Finance skills for freelancers - how to budget; splitting professional life from personal life
• Different types of freelance payments - PAYE, Sole Trader, Limited Company
• Tax and NI for freelancers
• Keeping records without wasting time - and the implications of HMRC’s new digital taxation
• How to agree work
• How to chase payments
• How to plan your networking
There will also be guest speakers TBA
What you will learn:
Delegates will come away with a clearer idea of how to organise themselves and plan to think like a business. They will understand the importance of good record keeping, and tax and NI implications. They will also have a better understanding of how networking works in the creative industries.

Mewn amgylchedd cyfryngau sy'n newid yn gyflym, nid oes sicrwydd o swydd am byth yn y diwydiant mwyach. Mae’r ‘economi gig’ a’r ffaith bod mwy o bobl yn gweithio mewn gyrfa bortffolio yn golygu fod Gwaith llawrydd yn mwy arferol.

• Annog myfyrwyr a gweithwyr proffesiynol sy'n gweithio i rannu eu profiadau a'u pryderon
Bydd y sesiwn hon yn edrych ar:
• Sgiliau cyllid ar gyfer gweithwyr llawrydd - sut i gyllidebu; gwahanu bywyd proffesiynol oddi wrth fywyd personol
• Gwahanol fathau o daliadau llawrydd - TWE, Unig Fasnachwr, Cwmni Cyfyngedig
• Treth ac YG ar gyfer gweithwyr llawrydd
• Cadw cofnodion heb wastraffu amser – a goblygiadau trethiant digidol newydd CThEM
• Sut i gytuno ar waith
• Sut i fynd ar ôl taliadau
• Sut i gynllunio eich rhwydweithio
Bydd siaradwyr gwadd yn ymuno a’r sesiwn!
Beth fyddwch chi'n ei ddysgu:
Bydd cynrychiolwyr yn dod i ffwrdd gyda syniad cliriach o sut i drefnu eu hunain a chynllunio i feddwl fel busnes. Byddant yn deall pwysigrwydd cadw cofnodion da, a goblygiadau treth ac YG. Bydd ganddynt hefyd well dealltwriaeth o sut mae rhwydweithio yn gweithio yn y diwydiannau creadigol.
