Good to be here I have just taken the leap and have joined-up. My initial intention is to earn some extra cash to supplement the "day job" but with longer term hope and view of making this my full time earning role. It's great to find this professional and friendly organisation and I look forward to exploring the benefits of being a part of "the club" and to communicating with other new starters and more experienced folk along the way.:banana
Morning Hi All Im new too. Just wondering is there a best way to advertise my services? for low costs? I am a freelance telesales/telemarketer Thanks Tracey
Hi Tracey Welcome to the forum! Telemarketing is doing well at the moment. They are some good leads being sent to members of Freelance Alliance as businesses realise freelancers of all creative & media skills can keep their order books turning over in a cost-effective way, and not only that but they're fast to bolt on to enable them to react swiftly in challenging times. I've mentioned on another post that a benefit of FA is that your listing is optimised by location and skills for the major search engines (a while back now! http://forums.freelanceuk.com/general-forum/2739-change-approach.html). This means members will be found in Google as well as searches made direct on the site. So it's a cost-effective way of not only getting your profile on the internet but actually being found too. There's lot of talk about Freelance Alliance at the moment and the other benefits of networking (How to ... become a freelance worker - Times Online) so do have a look to see what you think. Best of luck whatever you decide.
UK Its really good to have this forum as it targets UK specifically. I have been using other forums but mostly they are US based, which is fine but it helps to have information targeted to Freelancers in UK.

Hi I am a newbee. I have been working to suppliment my part time day job but mooving towards making the break. I have a couple of schools, some commercial work and weddings now and again. What I realy need to do is get something regular to make the leap possible. I am looking forward to sharing my experiences and hearing from others.
As a brand new registrant here, I find the administrator approval of new forum posts very annoying (and VERY time consuming + unnecessary) for the Freelance.co.uk community. Great site otherwise.
Hi Mikelance Thanks for joining us. Sorry you're peeved about the time lapse for your initial posts to appear but otherwise this forum would be swamped, and I mean swamped, with spam. If you saw the amount of these initial posts we have to bin you'd see what I mean :frown2 Cheers Freelance UK
