Fantastic job, Charlene! Already had some great feedback on your article. 🙂
Thanks so much for posting this! I’m currently teaching and looking for ways to supplement my income (or lack thereof) during the summer and reconnect with the things I enjoyed at one time (like writing and music). I will definitely look into this as a possibility. Thanks again!
Check out freelance job boards like Elance, too. There are a lot of people looking for cheap labor, but some good jobs.
Thanks again. Registering at Elance now and searching for other freelance sites. Do you mind if I link back to your post in my blogpost tomorrow?
I would love it!
