The first years of freelancing, Maller did not make much money. He also had to deal with working alone without a support system, keeping motivated, and learning how to be a businessman. Now that Maller has become a success in the freelance field, people come to him for tips so they can become freelance artist also. Maller does admit that he now has an agent representing him instead of finding work for his self. But, Maller does recommend that job seekers develop a current portfolio of their best work. And as a freelancer, you should also work hard, develop a style that sets you apart from others, be inspired by others but not influenced by them, stay fresh by trying new approaches, and let creativity be your motivator and not the money. And, surprisingly for an artist who works on a computer and uses the Internet, he recommends that freelancers stay away from blogs.
