Virtual Freelancing is a booming business. I've been in it for approximately a decade now and I've personally watched it grow and grow and grow. Years ago when I first jumped in a lot of employers were skeptical and a bit uncomfortable with the idea of someone working for them who wasn't right under their nose. Now, they're hiring virtual freelancers for everything. The demand has increased exponentially over the past few years especially with the growing Internet Marketing business. Internet Marketers generally work from their own home and as they grow they need assistance - so where do they find it = virtual freelancers. Of course, they are only a portion of the employers now hiring virtual freelancers.
With the growth of the demand has come the growth of more and more freelancers looking to make a living working from home. Problem is, only around 1 out of 10-20 freelancers has what it takes to land projects. It seems they think they can just jump in and start getting work. It's not that easy for most. While the demand has grown, employers are picky about who they hire because it's still risky in that you can't tell who's who from the other end of a computer. You've got 167 proposals for your position and all you have are words to figure out who to hire. Further freelancers are known to just disappear into thin air at times - leaving work half done, done improperly or not done at all.
Freelancers don't realize that the chips are stacked against them when it comes to bidding on projects and landing the job. Oftentimes they think their resume of on-site experience will get them in the door but this is not generally the case. It's simply not that simple. But it's not terribly hard either...if you know the Ins and Outs and what employers are looking for vs. what they're not looking for. There's a lot of competition out there for these virtual projects and you need to be one step ahead to come out the winner.
This is where the Virtual Freelance Guide comes in. This guide was written by yours truly, a Veteran in the freelance game. I've learned the hard way, by trial and error, by bidding on hundreds of hundreds of jobs and trying different methods. I searched through the thousands of freelance sites, I became a member of many. I've done all the research I think can be done over the years. Now that I'm very successful in my freelance business and also work from the employer standpoint, giving me even more insight on who gets hired, I thought I'd outline the Ins and Outs for other freelancers looking to really generate an income working from home.
The guide covers the pros and the cons of the business, whether or not to become a member of paid freelance sites, how to land projects and build your reputation, how to write a proposal that will get you noticed by employers, what to do and what not to do, billing and more. It's not filled with pages and pages of "filler" material. It's short (13 pages, a bit over 5k words) and to the point.
With that said, I believe it's a great tool for virtual freelancers. A time-saver from figuring out how to go about getting work and what you're doing wrong if you're already trying but not succeeding. Freelancers can get it here: Virtual Freelance Guide - Succeed in Your Virtual Venture. It's only $9.00 - a very small investment in your business.
From a marketing standpoint I'm offering a limited number of PLR to the eBook for $21. To purchase the PLR, please go here: Virtual Freelance Guide PLR (private label rights)
Best of luck in whatever virtual venture you are pursuing!

I'm Suggesting a news widget you may be interested in covering on your blog:
Widgetmate.com came up in May 2007 accidentally. We were making a News delivery widget for our website and thought that the same could be useful for a lot of people on their blogs and websites. Hence the Widgetmate News widget was born. The News widget is a web widget that gives the facility to site owners and bloggers to place customizable news widget on their respective blogs and sites. The Widget is available in many flavors and can be placed in your blog or site sidebar, header, footer or wherever you like. The biggest difference between other similar widgets is that our news widget is highly customizable and can be blended into the destination web page look and feel completely. Hence it looks like an integral part of the user’s page. The widget has been very successful till date with over 1000 regular users. The news is keyword driven and the user can select a combination of keywords for the news he or she wants on the page. One can change the color, font, size and other attributes of widget as per their requirements. All widgets are java script based and their PHP versions are also available.

Hi there. I bought the ebook with PLR rights, but when I try to download it the link pulls up no page found. Can you please email me the correct download link. It was bought under jobs4wahm@yahoo.com as the contact email.
The top results get between 5% and 10% of the clicks. Each subsequent result pages gets between 30% and 60% of the clicks of the previous one. This normally lasts till page 5. I give you one idea to get lot of traffic for websites. I got these ideas from Traffic Tactics ebook that were also applied by Carlos and Lupe Garcia to generate high volume of traffic online without using PPC and Search engines. You can also do apply these techniques on your websites. This free e-book can be downloaded directly at http://traffictactics.com/book/download.asp without any opt-in process. You will also enjoy the optimization part for landing pages. Thanks Jeff.
