I am a disabled computer geek that has always had a desire to "make it" online. My biggest stumbling block has been how to demonstrate my ability. Currently I am starting out trying to attract some work through freelancing sites, but my end goal is opening my own "Virtual Office" business. When I first had my idea I thought this will be so simple. Cost of the associated software alone will attract business. Well I have seen over and over again that this is not true. People just don't seem to care that you have several thousands of dollars invested in the tools. What they want is "Madison Avenue Quality" at 3rd World prices. I am very new to the world of online freelance. and I have just garnered enough information to create a professional looking start. Thank you all so much for sharing these tips, I will most definitely be following what you all have to say, and checking out any additional posts that I can find. WOW!! :)
