The Face Behind Rob Palmer's Go Freelance
Dear Fellow Freelancer
Doing business on the Internet can seem rather impersonal sometimes. Are there real people behind the site you are visiting, or is it all just bits, bytes and autoresponders?
Well, Go Freelance is a real site run by real working freelancers. And if you'd like to see the face behind the scenes, this is me...
"I'm committed to helping you find work and make money ."
Rob Palmer, Freelance Writer
I've been a professional freelance for a number of years now, working as a copywriter, journalist and author. Like everyone, I struggled when I was starting out, and took a while to find my feet. But after a while, I figured out how to generate more work than I would ever need, and how to earn a very good living from freelancing - and have a great lifestyle, too. Best of all, I now have the freedom to spend more time with my wife Beverley, and watch our children (Ben, Sam, Joe and Jessica) grow up.
Over the years, I've worked with major corporations such as Microsoft, Coca-Cola and Compaq, as well as with startup businesses, non-profits and agencies of every size and description. Two of my books have been published successfully, and I have had the opportunity to work on everything from film scripts to hi-tech web sites. I feel privileged to have enjoyed a varied and challenging career that has really stretched my creative skills.
Nowadays, I'm in the fortunate position of being able to pick and choose the projects I take on. And that has allowed me to put aside enough time to create Go Freelance.
Why? Because it frustrates me to see so many talented people struggling to make a living online. There's plenty of work for all of us. If you have some skills and a genuine desire to build a successful freelance career, you have every chance of success.
I'm committed to helping you find work and make money. Of course, I can't promise to hand you work on a plate - but if you are committed to developing your career, you will be amazed at what you can achieve.
In the meantime, may I wish you every success with your freelance career.
Best regards
Rob Palmer
