1. Telecommuters Are More Productive
According to a Government spokesperson, telecommuting offers
huge advantages for employers – but these benefits are simply
not understood.
"The benefits of teleworking far outweigh any potential downside
that managers attempt to cite. Survey after survey show that
telecommuters are extremely productive. Telecommuters have
higher morale, have less stress from fighting traffic every day
and take fewer sick days."
So if you thought that telecommuters had an easy life, working in
their pyjamas and slippers, think again.

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."
