1. Outsourcing Increases Opportunities
More and more companies than ever are turning to
outsourcing as a way of supplying their business
requirements.
For full-time employees, this may be bad news, as more
people are laid off by large corporations. For freelancers,
however, it means more opportunities than ever before.
As clients become used to buying services as they need
them, rather then employing in house, more and more
projects will become available.

Testimonials
"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few 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 ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
