Hey there, I'm glad you're enjoying the experience. I do quite a bit of freelancing online myself (mostly writing). Been doing it since January. A couple of tips: - be aware of your strengths and weaknesses - don't put all your eggs in one basket - think of different ways you can earn through what you do - if you're not doing it already, keep a spreadsheet of all your earnings - ask for a deposit before you start any job Hope this helps. Good luck. Hope you reach and surpass your freelance goals. take care

To expand your freelance work join a good site like Getafreelancer, Odesk or Elance (all free to join). If you have enough experience and qualifications you will most certainly get get steady freelance jobs. Once you get a good reputation on these sites customers can post projects for you specifically. It just takes time, patience and a lot of hard work. Cheers and good luck!

You are so lucky that you were able to get the online freelance job. I think it is good enough to get it. I was never able to get the online freelance job, since I was always rejected by the buyer LOL. I think if you can do the freelance job online, you would be able to work at home and earn your living because the payment from doing such job is quite big and enough for you alone. But for me, who earned from forums and other programs, I think it is difficult to be able to earn good money from here. Congrats, and good luck, unfathimablesisa :)
