I read this with an open mind, thirsty for an understanding of what opportunities might exist in the field for me in semi-retirement. What I took from the book was a YES, but that there are no shortcuts. This step-by-step instruction manual identifies the pathway to establishing a potentially successful online freelancing business." - Blake Malone
"This book is full of down-to-earth, practical advice and it's presented in a positive and encouraging way. I couldn't have read this book at a better time. My husband was just laid off after fourteen years in local television. He's talked for a long time about becoming a freelance photographer and now he has the opportunity, along with the great information in this book, to make this dream a reality. What a great book!" - Pandora Spocks

From the Author
2 years ago several life changing events occurred. My mother passed away, our company was acquired, and my husband was hospitalized. A woman can only take so much. In rebellion, my hair started shedding. Alopecia. What more can happen, right?
The loss of income was painful, with bills and mortgages to pay. Good thing, I have laid out the foundation of a freelancing career when I started writing for a freelancing site after my mom passed away. The income was small in the beginning as I felt my way around the industry. Debts piled up. I was desperate to recover from my financial slump. I researched and learned and acquired new skills - more than 10 hours every day.
But that's all history now. As a top rated freelancer with regular clients, and with my author services site, The Book Khaleesi, I've managed to surpass my previous income. I'm still stressed, but in my pajamas, in the comforts of home...
This book is a short guide for everyone who wants to earn as a freelancer online. Skip the disappointments and heartaches I went through along the way, and go straight into profitability - with realistic expectations, knowing what to avoid and what to focus on. Acquire the right mindset for success.
Can you earn a decent living by freelancing? Absolutely. But, it all depends on you.
Read. Learn. Earn.
Before all these, I was at the peak of my career. An executive assistant to the President of one of the biggest BPOs in the Philippines. I was stressed out but comfortable financially. When the doctors told me my Alopecia was caused by the stress of the past year, and when our company was acquired, and when I started losing my hair... What can a girl do? I quit. I worked in that company for 11 years.
