An Investment That Paid Off
Karyn Martin was
cautious about launching her freelance career online, but she soon
got results:
"I
remember the days when I dreamed of being a freelancer," she says.
"The word seemed magical to me somehow. Romantic, almost. Now, after
having actually been a freelancer for a while, the scales have been
lifted from my eyes and I have seen the light. You pay for being able
to manipulate your time. You pay by working more, working harder, and
- hopefully - working smarter. But what you get in return is
priceless. Now I can call the shots about when I work, for whom I
work, and how much I make."
One day, Karyn decided she was no longer willing to commute in
smog-laden traffic to sit in a cubicle for eight hours, come home,
eat, sleep, wake up, and then do it all over again. Going through the
same routine, day after day, week after week , only to wake up one day
old and tired - wondering how life might have been if she’d had the
guts to go it alone.
So she decided to become a freelancer - but how would she find work? She
had spent endless hours surfing the ‘net, signing up with one
freelance site after another. Yet there was an incredible amount of
competition. She never seemed to win any bids, and was adamant about
not lowering her hourly rate.
"Then I discovered Go Freelance," she says. "I had heard
"don’t pay to work!" repeatedly, and I was too poor to risk getting
scammed, but I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent twenty
bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional
Edition.
"Since then, I’ve edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an
11-page Web site, and a brochure. I’m ‘on call’ to do pinch-hit
proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida while he’s on
vacation, sick, etc. And I’ve landed a gig editing a new Canadian
magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a $20 chance on
Go Freelance."
Of course, it helped to send prospects a few previous work samples
she’d had the presence of mind to scan and save on disk. Also, since
she has been ‘in the business’ for more than five years, she has a
fairly good résumé with some experience to back up the claims, along
with a strong list of references.
"For every one of you out there feeling a little discouraged, and
especially for those of you on the verge of throwing in the towel, I’m
here to tell you this. There may not be a Santa Claus, but there is a
place to find work without paying some ridiculous "transaction fee" or
never knowing whether or not the projects are ‘fresh’ - and even the
name is easy to remember - Go Freelance."
