Networking 2
By Donna | March 23, 2008
Definitely - networking is key to being a freelance. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a VA that I met through the forum. Most of the work I’ve found has been through the forum. On-line networking is great, but equally important is networking with people in your community, former bosses, small business owners, etc. Keeping in touch with a former boss has helped me land a long-term freelance position. One of my first “clients” before I was even a full time WAHM was a former co-worker. Even an old college classmate has been a source of periodic projects. Not only to you have to participate in on-line networking, but also sit down and think about the people you personally know you might be able to benefit from whatever service you have to offer.

Good points about networking offline, too.
