"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 Freelance Work Exchange," 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
Freelance Work Exchange 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
Freelance Work Exchange."
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 - Freelance Work Exchange."
