All Freelancers Welcome

Yes, I'm a writer. And yes, this blog happens to be biased in favor of freelance writers. But that doesn't mean other freelancers can't get anything out of a visit. Freelancers of all shapes and sizes are welcome. Pull up a chair and warm yourself by my virtual fire, and I'll put on a pot of virtual coffee.

Hey, we're all freelancers, or on the path to becoming freelancers, so who cares if my tools are commas and a thesaurus, while yours is techno-babble I have no hope of ever understanding, or a foreign language I have even less hope of ever understanding. We all face the same challenges, go through the same bidding processes, and have the same goals in mind - to carve out one heck of a good freelance career. We're not so very different after all.

We can learn much from one another. And hey, we might actually team up on a project or two.

Most of what I write for the benefit of my fellow writers, applies just as well to every other freelance specialty. In fact, taking some tips on crafting great Elance proposals and profiles from a writing blog, may give freelancers with other areas of expertise a leg up on their competition. Writers are online image specialists, and what field can't use a great image?!

So stay a while and have a good look around. You'll find that most of my posts have something for you too. And I might just have the occasional gem outside of the writing arena to pass on. Like, for example, I hear through the Elance grapevine that there's a rapidly growing demand for SAP specialists. If that's your thing, run - don't walk - to Elance and make your mark now.

But before you go, let me wrap up this piece of virtual pie for you to snack on later.
