introduction- freelance

These days, it seems like everyone needs more cash.  Unemployment is skyrocketing in the United States, the economy is poor, and finding a job in this market is nearly impossible unless you have an absolutely stellar résumé.

 Fortunately, there is one way to make quick money that doesn’t require a killer résumé, or any type of cash investment, or any extremely specialized skills.  All you need is a computer, an internet connection, and a decent grasp of website or graphics design, programming, or the English language.  You should also be able to manage your time, work efficiently, and work without a boss looking over your shoulder.

I’m talking, of course, about freelancing.  As a freelancer, you don’t have to spend any money to make money.  Finding work is pretty simple unless you’re expecting to get paid $50+ per hour.  And most people have some skills that can translate into cash.
