1. Google Saves a Freelancer's Life
There's no doubt that Google has become a great asset to
freelancers, but one journalist owes his life to the search engine.
Iraqi kidnappers were convinced that John Martinkus was a
CIA agent, and planned to behead him. At the last minute, he
persuaded them to search for his name on Google, to prove
he real job. Google came up trumps, and Martinkus was then
released.
It seems that John truly found the ‘I'm Feeling Lucky' button that
day

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."
