Let me wrizite for you!

A lil bit about me...

I will be working from home starting March 12. I own the West Houston Just Between Friends, but want to further foster my other passion for blogging. I am going to be freelancing as a ghost blogger specializing in small businesses. I would love to continue to build my portfolio.

I can also keep your social network accounts up to date and circulating links back to your website. Seems easy enough, but I know first hand how in the business world we get little time to sit at the computer and create content the masses actually care about. HA! Now I will actually have the time to help you. Contact me at deesoria@hotmail.com if you are interested. Okay enough about me...back to the blog.

Freelance jobs that work for mommy!

If you are like me, I had heard the term "freelance" and "freelancer" many times throughout my life. I had no idea really what it meant but was always given the impression that is was someone who roamed around and did work where they could. That sounds pretty pathetic right? I thought so too. I now know my initial thought regarding freelance work was wrong.

Freelance according to Encarta® World English Dictionary is somebody working for different companies: a self-employed person working, or available to work, for a number of employers, and usually hired for a limited period.

So what does this mean to you?

Here are some jobs that freelance people do, and many you may find surprisingly interesting.

• Author
• Blogger
• Doula
• Computer consulting
• Coaching
• Errand services
• Graphic design
• Event planning
• Interior decorating
• Travel Agent

• Researcher

• Repair services

The possibilities really are endless. Check out these great sites and explore how the system works. Basically if you are interested in freelance work, a great tip is to start thinking about skills and experience that you already possess. You can take a look at your talents and see where you can apply them to work independently and even from home!
