1. Teleworking Grows in Popularity
The freelance lifestyle is becoming more popular than ever, and is
being embraced by people from many different professions.
Remote working is gaining ground as a career choice in sectors such as
financial services, telecoms and technology services, although less so
in manufacturing and government sectors.
"One key driver is the work-life balance, where employers want to give
staff the choice of where they work and, often, when," says John Eary,
head of the NCC Group's staff consultancy."
So if you want to start a freelance teleworking career, you now have
more choices than ever before.

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."
