The $60,000 Question

Saturday December 27, 2008

Is this a viable career for me?

Yes, that's a question I get asked quite often, and I don't mind at all. In fact, I can usually send the reader/writer in the right direction, as I'm then privy to information like education level, past employment and skills. But, for a general view into freelancing as a career, read the FAQ, which details the four things I put into every email about freelancing as a career.

Got a question? You can either write me directly, or head to our freelance writing forum.
