As ever - Elance Blog comes up trumps

I owe my current position as owner of my own online business to Elance.

I started out with them at http://www.elance.com/experts/estherrosie

Although the blogs don't come thick and fast when they do they are absolute gems.

Elance is great site for those starting out. There are loads of useful tutorials and articles you really should read before even considering embarking on this sort of 'job'.

Freelancer - estherrosieuk starting out on Blogger

Just starting on Blogger today.

I have recently spent a lot of time learning about local search and social media marketing. When it came to setting up my Blogger account I thought about what I wanted to use it for.

Now there is now doubt that my ‘estherrosieuk’ is part of my work and will definitely be used to promote the sites I love and the sites I work on but I think it is also time that I started to share what I have discovered.

No affiliate link here – yet!

Don’t get me wrong. I have not got a degree in marketing or IT or anything else associated with the work that I am doing now. I am learning from scratch by experimentation – a lot of trial and even more error.

I love it though.

I wanted to work from home as so many people do. To be honest I did not really believe that I could do it. I was not a talented writer, and I am still not, starting on bid sites for peanuts.

Getting lucky and building the right relationships I am now self-employed, working full-time from home and have even got enough work for my partner to have recently joined me.

I love to write but much prefer to publish. Hence yet another place on the internet where I can see myself!

Today I just wanted to say hello really.

Check out some of my links and blogs – these will be added to, of course.

Come back soon as I start to try and put down in sensible parts what I have learnt about social networking, marketing, SEO, being freelance and working at home.
