On the 'hiring freelancers' side (everything else is covered):
1. Do what you say you are going to do. Sounds obvious, but at least 50% (probably a lot more) of those that I have hired over promise, under deliver and decide mtn biking or snow boarding is more important than professional behavior.
2. Return ALL messages/calls promptly. Even if you say you can't get to something immediately. COMMUNICATION, dammit.
3. Be professional, see #1 and #2
4. Don't burn bridges. If you bit off more than you can chew, figure it out or be honest, don't just leave things hanging. You won't ever get work again and you'll build a bad reputation.
