Re: [Coworking] Marketing Secrets Of A Successful Freelancer

Freelance jobs are real and they're available. This is no scam or pie-
in-the-sky 'business opportunity'. Outsourcing is becoming more and
more popular every day. Companies are quickly realizing that is much
easier and cheaper to outsource their work to freelancers rather than
take on expensive employees.
Technology is making it possible for people all over the world to wave
goodbye to the boss, work from home and have more time with their
family. If you have a computer, an internet connection, and the right
skills, you're well on your way to a freelance lifestyle.
I've been freelancing from home as a Virtual Assistant since 2002. The
biggest challenge for me was working out how to get clients. I
remember sitting there one day in my home office - everything was set
up and ready to go - when I thought, 'All I really need now are some
clients'.
I tried lots of different marketing techniques to see which ones
worked best and which didn't. Some didn't work very well and I admit
that I wasted quite alot of money.
When I finally hit on the right way to attract clients, it was as if a
lightbulb had gone off. One of the strategies I tried ended up
bringing in thousands of dollars per year and still does.

It's an unfortunate step to take, but it's also not fair to waste
people's time when there's a fairly simple way to prevent it.
