Better late than never I suppose. I am a newbie just starting to look for ways to branch out from random article writing. This list is a great starting point :-) It's nice that so many of you established freelancers are willing to help others succeed!

I'm sure you've had just as many as I have. If I thought everybody would take my advice as if it were a rare and precious jewel, I would be oh so sweet and nurturing, but since they don't, I have an automated message. That said, folks are always, always free to ask me questions beyond what's mentioned in this FAQ, but as a businesswoman, it behooves me to save my time with a little device like this. (And too all new freelancers reading this - IF you work hard and become successful - sooner than you think you'll be writing an FAQ just like this, too!)

Jones Mon, 07 Jun 2010 01:44:01 +0000 http://blog.jennescalona.com/?p=1186#comment-710 Ha! I love subversive blog writing. But yeah, that one about the sixty hour weeks and this is a business, totally true! I love what I do so those sixty hour weeks weren't (aren't?) so bad. But if a newbie think she's just going to spit out some writing and make a ton of money, I'd like to talk to her again in six months and see how you're doing. Ha! I love subversive blog writing.

I love your insightful comments and am challenged to answer them with just as much insight. Damn you for making me think so much! Also, those other blogs have a lot more content (I've written for some of them, too!) and I hope they helped you. Please feel free to ask questions here or email me if you run into any snags on your path. I had a lot of help from my friends getting started, and I want to help the ones that come after, too. Good luck, Christina! I’m not tired of you at all! I love your insightful comments and am challenged to answer them with just as much insight. Damn you for making me think so much!

But everything in this blog is AMAZING. I went through December 2008 in your Archives all the way to April of 2009. I don't know how I could have missed this blog in the past while searching for writing opportunities. But I am trying to limit my comments. To be honest, I never even knew serious freelance writers ran their own businesses. I always thought freelance writing was simply blogging and submitting articles to article directories (like Demand Studios and eHow) for residual income . But a business? I had no clue! I can't even describe how excited I am right now to begin the endeavor. I hope everything works out. Thanks so much for your help so far and, please, keep writing in this blog! I would be utterly lost without it. Once I'm done with this blog (for today), I'm going to check out the others on the list. :) Heh, by now you’re probably getting tired of me.
