1. Beware of Dodgy Contracts
While the prospect of going overseas to work may seem
attractive, you need to take care. Sometimes, a contract
may not turn out to be as good as it seems.
Many freelancers who were lured to Australia recently with
the promise of lucrative contracts found nothing but empty
promises when they arrived.
While there are plenty of genuine overseas contracts to be
found, you need to check carefully before making a commitment.

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."
