Can I Freelance Too?

Can I Free Lance Too?
Yes You can! Many people dream about that supplemental income that helps send their family on a worry free vacation every summer. Lots of us have dreamed about working from a home office – just sharing our best talents with those who need them. My honest opinion is that God gave you a certain set of talents, and a purpose for being here to walk on this planet. So, if you’re one of these people that dreams of sharing in the dream of working from home, you’ve arrived at the perfect time in history to use those special talents.

Today, it is easier than ever to find supplemental or perhaps even full time work, just by logging on to the internet. If you’re reading this blog post, then you have already proven you’ve got the skills to utilize the web. Now why not use it to make money? Become a free lancer and market your talents to those that need them. There are many great websites that point you in the right direction such as www.guru.com, www.elance.com, www.ifreelance.com, and others. Soon to come will be www.aggielance.com which is industry specific to the agriculture...meaning you'll be able to market your talent more directly to ag based companies ( Starting Today!)
So what should you do? Well, what expertise or loves do you have? Perhaps you have a knack for writing. Maybe you’re an accomplished accountant. Do you have event planning skills? There is lots of opportunity for data entry personnel, blog writers, livestock specialists, telemarketers, email writers, direct mail managers, crop planning, tax consulting, legal advice,…I could list on and on. Last year, companies and individuals listed more than 150,000 projects on elance.com alone. Specialized people and businesses like you, bid those projects and profited from it.

My parents always told me, “Do what you love, and the rest will follow.” Are you doing what you love? Do you have a special expertise that could be put to good use through free lancing? It is not as tough as you might think. For more information about how to become a free lancer, log on to www.aggielance.com to sign up and receive pertinent information! Good luck to you!
