Starting off
I’ve been working as a freelance writer since leaving the tech industry last fall. All things considered, I have been doing fairly well but I have come to the epiphany that I could be doing a lot more. So as of June 1, 2009, I have decided to keep track of the changes that I’m making and see how they help my business… or not.
One of the biggest changes that I have made is signing up for an account at Guru. I had been using ODesk but aside from a job here or there, I just wasn’t having too much luck. Plus, a lot of the jobs that were available were so ridiculously low paying that it just wasn’t worth it for me to even look at the listings any more. Signing up at Guru cost a pretty penny but I am hoping that I will make up the quarterly subscription cost in the first job or so. I’ll try it out for the summer and hopefully score a few jobs from there.
