Freelance Business
The Freelance Business Funnel from Rockable Press is a complete blueprint for freelancers on how to write popular blogs, sell services, optimize business, determine the best rates, and, most importantly scale up to increase revenues.

The book is full of useful, actionable advice, minus the fluff.

Joy Deangdeelert Cho & Meg Mateo Ilasco have written one of the best business books for freelancers working in creative fields.
This book is particularly for graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, animators, and many others, covering the entire span of their new business.
The Gig Economy
Diane Mulcahy takes a step back and looks at the freelance, gig economy in general. What are the trends, and how can you make the best of the new shift?
This book comes with extensive research (not just opinion), anecdotes and tips on how to build your financial flexibility and still have more time for yourself.
Liminal Thinking
Dave Gray asks: how will you succeed at your new freelancing work? If you’re still stuck in your old mindset, you may not be able to fully take charge of your new freedoms and responsibilities.
Liminal Thinking works on changing the way you think by reframing your beliefs. This is one of the best psychology business books for freelancers.
Four-Hour Work Week
The new gig economy is changing the way the world works, but yet many freelancers are still working themselves to death. This doesn’t have to be the only way for freelancers to make money.
With 4-Hour Work Week, Ferriss shows how he went from earning $40,000/year and working 80 hours/week to earning $40,000/month and working only 4 hours/week.
Great motivation and useful tips on how you can apply the same principles.
