Writing Your Poem is Not Very Tough

Posted on by

Writing with rhythm is something that may excite you. At the same time you worry about to write a poem? Plenty of poems we have already read. So what is a poem that I don not need to tell you.

Before writing any poem ask these questions to yourself:
What motivated you to write a poem?
What is the mental condition of your mind? Are you happy or sad?
Are you writing in memory of someone or something?
How nicely you can express a topic?
What rhythm you are going to follow in this poem? Will it be aabb-aabb or, abab abab or, aaaa bbbb etc.
How many lines your poem may take? Estimate average number of lines taken in each stanza.
Have you read any recent poetry that has inspired you to write your own poetry?

Keeping these above points in mind, you can start writing your own poetry.

If you are writing your first poetry, invest time for selecting proper words and phrases. Think about how creatively you can describe the subject of your poetry? At first try to write short poems. If you succeed, try longer writing.

After you have finished writing, your job is half done. Check if anything could be added on the subject of your poem. Read your poem loudly. If any line does not seem to go with the poem, change it or delete it. Revising your writing not only gives you idea to rectify your errors, it also helps you to come up with the new ideas about the same topic which you can later use in your future works.

Adding a title to your work can be done in two ways. First you write the title and then you start writing your poem or first you complete your writing and then you place a suitable title for your work.

Poetry writing is done by anybody but quality poetry creation is possible only by the hands of a few. Before you write a good poem, follow hundreds of other poems to know more about the subject and try to know writing style of an individual poet. By maintaining these guidelines, you can easily create short beautiful poem in no time.

Marathon Training For Beginners

Posted on by

Introduction

I remember when I ran my first marathon many years ago in New York. I’d done all the training and had a precise time goal in mind (which was to qualify for Boston). However, as things turned out I didn’t have much of a plan for actually running the race and finally finished quite exhausted 25 minutes over my goal! Hopefully this article will help other beginner marathoners avoid this situation.

Pick a Realistic Goal!

Many people look at their 10K times and expect to run a fairly quick marathon based on this time. It seldom works this way! Here are some suggested goal times for beginner marathoners:

Finish comfortably!

That’s right -for many first or second time marathoners you should forget about a time and focus instead on completing the distance without too much pain & suffering. Once you have mastered the distance you will be able to improve your time.

4 to 4 1/2hours

– This is a popular goal time and it is an excellent choice for the middle of the pack runner if you feel you must aim for a time.

3 hrs 30 minutes

– Even if you can run a 40-minute 10K this isn’t a bad time for your first marathon. 26.2 miles is a great ‘equalizer’ when it comes to runners of differing abilities

Train Wisely

Once you have established your finish goal make your training runs match. Don’t forget to vary the pace on the different runs. You should follow a marathon training program of about 16 to 20 weeks long. (You can find a really good beginner schedule at www.marathon-training-schedule.org )

Track your miles in a running log to see how closely you are following the training program. If you belong to a running club train with other people who are planning on running a marathon – but make sure you run at a pace that suits your program and your abilities. It’s too easy to get sucked along with others going at a faster pace than you need.

Many beginners actually train too much and as a result their bodies have not fully recovered in time for the race. I ran one of my best marathons after training with a friend who was recovering from an injury – he was running more slowly and would take walk breaks during the longer runs.

Eat The Right Foods

Your diet is important when you are doing all that training, so make sure you eat sufficient amounts of carbohydrates (without overdoing it). If you Google ‘marathon diet’ you will find several good sites that discuss this. The key thing is to eat a balanced diet and avoid junk food as much as possible.

Conclusion

– pick a goal that you feel you can realistically achieve

– train at a comfortable level (you’re not training for a 10K!)

– follow a proven training schedule

– train with a buddy if possible

– watch your diet

Following these simple points will help you get through that first or second marathon as comfortably as possible. The links below have some great information for beginner marathon runners.

How to Get Your Unmotivated Teenager to Improve in School and Get a Part-Time Job

Posted on by

You hold the key to motivating your teen!

That’s the answer. When the question is how do you get your teenager motivated to improve in school. You have to look in the mirror and determine your attitude toward school, toward your teenager and toward the future.

What children see their parents do in moderation will be manifest in excess in their lives. There are some specific steps that can be taken, but first you need to examine where you stand.

What is your attitude toward school? Has your teenager grown up with your bad attitude toward school and now you expect him/her to be motivated to succeed? Have you expressed your distaste for having to help all the way through grade school with homework? Your teen will pick up on your bad attitudes and will reflect them in their actions.

Maybe it’s time for you to have an honest talk about the importance of school and what it will ultimately accomplish for your teen’s future. Before you do that though, you might need a little help.

Do you understand that the purpose of geometry is more than determining the area of a cone? Do you see the value of each discipline for just that; the discipline that comes from mastering the subject? Do you understand that learning is a life long experience and that school is simply helping your teen to master the disciplines necessary to continue that quest for the rest of their lives?

If you’ve ever questioned why your child needed to know something it will be difficult for your teen to get motivated about school. You’ll have to be honest with them about your attitudes, past and present, so you can help them with their future. The is the first step so don’t take it lightly.

What’s my attitude toward my teenager? There is a fear of being a parent of a teenager. That fear can be driven by a lot of things but it is completely unfounded. I’ve seen this for more than thirty years now as I have watched the teenagers whose parents were once afraid now becoming fearful parents of teenagers themselves. The cycle has to stop!

A teenager isn’t a monster or bundle of uncontrollable hormones. Although they try pretty hard to prove that is exactly what they are sometimes. They’re not! They’re adults in training.

This will be the shortest period of time in their life. It may not seem like that to you. It certainly won’t seem like that to them. This is the only time you have to help them prepare for the rest of their lives. Don’t waste it by being afraid. Take control of the training period.

What’s my attitude toward my teenager’s future? Remember this is the training period. Your goal is to make them productive, honest and industrious adults. How optimistic are you about them and their future? That optimism or lack of it will greatly influence their motivation.

You’re their guide to the future. They are about to embark on the most challenging period they will ever face. Show them that everything in their life is connected. There school work, their part-time job experience and their friendships with other adults form the tapestry that will become their future.

The part-time job is a worthy goal but it must be looked at in the light of the overall objective of the training period. Once the motivation for school is established the next objective can be addressed – getting that part-time job.

The job can actually be a part of the overall training necessary to becoming a productive adult. You can use the job as a reward for getting on the right track concerning school. If you not careful though the job can interfere with good school habits.

As an adult there is plenty of time to learn to juggle multiple priorities. Remember this is a training period and you should focus on individual skills before you start putting them all together. Don’t allow the job to take away from the discipline of school.

The ultimate goal of every parent should be to lead their children to become responsible and productive citizens in any culture. To accomplish the goal each parent must take a careful look at themselves to make sure they are able to lead their teenager to the next level in his/her life.

Discover a Language at Home – Learn Spanish Online

Online Spanish Learning Benefits

In order to learn Spanish, the best way is to go to Spain. But what if that’s not possible? Then bring Spain home. How? Through the internet of course. There are a number of sites and software available on the internet to allow you to learn Spanish online. But how would you know whether such online Spanish learning software teaches you the stuff you want? Will you be as fluent as a native Spanish speaker after finishing such online tutorials and will you be efficient enough to conduct businesses and carry out other occupations proficiently in Spanish? Read on.

First, determine the reason why you are learning Spanish? Is it to utilize your leisure or are you in search of some serious academic knowledge about the language.

If you are a traveller and want to learn Spanish for travelling purposes then you may start learning Spanish through the immersion approach. Since a traveller would have mostly aural and verbal requirements of the Spanish language it doesn’t matter from where you learn Spanish since almost all online Spanish teaching sites offer this service. However, if you want to learn Spanish in a manner that you are not to be differentiated from a native Spanish speaker then you might need an online Spanish software that is not only accurate but covers all aspects of training – reading, writing, listening and speaking.

There are many tutorials that offer packages to learn Spanish online with such features for reasonable prices. Some of them are even free. Some packages also provide delivery of CDs and DVDs containing Spanish lessons in the form of audios and videos. Some sites offer unlimited access to their interactive Spanish language learning quizzes for free. These not only improve you knowledge about the language but also enables you to have some fun.

The World Wide Web offers many different ways for you to learn Spanish online. Some might require you to learn repeated Spanish phrases along with their meaning while some might flood you with Spanish words and sentences and then take your online assessment on the language. The Spanish audios available on the internet are recordings of native Spanish speakers uploaded just for you so that you may learn the exact pronunciation of the words. Alternatively some sites give you the option to select which country’s Spanish pronunciation would you prefer studying.

An added advantage when you learn Spanish online is that the tutorials converge your concentration to the tutorial only. This is not the case in classrooms where you will be subjected to constant distractions. Moreover, the Spanish phrases that are to be taught are often presented in the form of a story powered by animation and pictures which makes it worth watching and enhances your understanding. The pictures are all realistic and provide an insight to the Spanish culture while the dialogues will train you for daily-life interactions to speak and sound just like a native Spanish speaker.

Portability is another factor that makes online Spanish learning so beneficial. The online software and tutorials can be downloaded and burned to CDs or copied to flash memories or portable hard disks and played at any location, such as while driving your car, or walking near the beach or sitting in the garden etc.

Pharmacy School Application – PCAT Examination Preparation Tips and Guide

Posted on by

Although most pharmacy schools require the PCAT examination, some school of pharmacies may not. Also, if you are an international student, you may need to take the TOEFL exam.

Pharmacy schools that don’t require the PCAT:

California Northstate
California – San Diego
California – San Francisco
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences – Boston MA
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences – Manchester NH
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences – Worcester MA
Oregon State University
University of the Pacific
Purdue University
University of Southern California
Touro University – California
Washington State University
Western

The subjects tested on the PCAT exam include:

Verbal Ability
Biology
Reading Comprehension
Quantitative Ability
Chemistry
Problem Solving (Writing)
Conventions of Language (Writing)

First, do some research on PCAT books. Amazon lists user reviews on PCAT books that are worth looking at. For example for the 2010-2011 KAPLAN PCAT, the chemistry and biology are strong. It is highly recommended that you pick and choose several PCAT books as each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Other options include an AUDIOLEARN PCAT CD set which lets you listen to the material while driving, lying down in your home, or from your computer.

After reading the ‘lecture’ parts of the books, do as many practice exams as you can. Many questions may repeat on the PCAT, and setting time limits on your practice exams will prepare you for the time constraints during the real PCAT exam.

Planning your prerequisite courses for pharmacy school in a way where your harder science courses are completed near the time of your PCAT examination date would be helpful to keep the information fresh in your mind. But, I would not want to be halfway through a semester of Organic Chemistry lecture prior to taking the PCAT.

For many students, it could have been a long time since sitting in lecutre, so other resources exist which can prepare you for the PCAT. There are several online resources such as encyclopedias, videos, and other articles to refresh your mind on relevant topics. For example, I can search for a video on YouTube to remind me how covalent bonding occurs in Chemistry. You can also purchase slightly older edition textbooks for a huge discount on sites like Half (an old Biology book will cost under $5 with shipping).

For the writing sections, it would be in your best interest to practice writing a well-organized, complete essay. Essay topics from old PCATs can be found online or you can practice from completely random prompts to practice writing. Having a clearly defined Introduction, Thesis, 3 Supporting Body Paragraphs, and a Conclusion will allow you to do well on the writing sections.

Course studies for the PCAT are pricey ($1000-$1500), so it is only recommended if you are struggling to learn the material on your own. For some people, these courses have been very beneficial, but make sure to do research before cutting these companies a check.

PCAT Examination Tips:

* Practice, Practice, Practice!
* You can retake the PCAT exam if you don’t do well the first time around. From what others have said on forums, it seems like you should only look to take the exam 2-3 times max.
* A solid GPA with a great PCAT score (ex: >70% percentile) will usually get you accepted at most school of pharmacies in the U.S. A lackluster GPA along with a great PCAT score (ex: >80% percentile) could offset the GPA aspect of your application. Check and search user profiles on PharmApplicants.com to see who got accepted where with what stats.
* Get plenty of rest, eat a well-portioned meal, and arrive early on the PCAT examination date.

Student Loans And How They Can Help Your Education

Posted on by

Student loans are monies provided either by the government or private sector to enable a student pay his tuition fees, buy his books and take care of other expenses while in school, especially if he has no savings to cater for these needs.

These loans enable one who would otherwise be unable to acquire former education as a result of poverty to go to school. They are however not free and must be repaid as soon as one completes one’s education and lands a job.

The advantage of the programme is that it enables poor students and those whose parents are poor to acquire standard education. It brings education to the reach of the poor and prevents it from being the exclusive rights of only the rich. It therefore provides succor to students who cannot afford to pay their fees from their pockets.

Besides, the student is not burdened with repaying the loan while still in school. It makes it possible for him to concentrate to study without the fear of having to be asked to repay his debt. It make it possible for you to take your studies, pay your rent and be able to feed yourself without having to look for other sources of getting the money to take care of your feeding.

Moreover, it ensures uninterrupted education. Since the debts are usually paid at the end of studies, students have the privilege to continue their education without dropping out of school as a result of their inability to pay their debts. The beauty of the whole package is that you are able to complete your education on schedule all things being equal.

Furthermore, the interest rate is cheaper than the other forms of loan. Since it is understood that the person collecting the loan is a student, the interest rate is usually pegged at least 2 to 3 points below other forms of loans.

The repayment is also spread out to make it less burdensome. You can conveniently offset the debt through a scheduled repayment system that allows you to pay a particular percentage of your income monthly.

Different countries have different procedures for acquiring the student loans and ways of repayment after completing your education. Generally, there are factors that are put into consideration before loans are given out to the students. The income level of the parents may be considered: the income level of the students may also be considered especially for those who already have a job before considering going back to school.

How and Where to Play the World’s Longest Golf Course

Posted on by

Imagine playing on a golf course longer than the distance from New York to Atlanta or Land’s End to John O’Groats. A new golf course offers a challenge to all keen golfers, but don’t expect to find fancy fairways and manicured greens. Where do you find this exotic new golf lovers’ destination?

The Nullabor Links is in the Australian Outback and stretches 1365km (850 miles) from Ceduna in South Australia, along the Eyre Highway to Kalgoorlie- Boulder in Western Australia’s Goldfields. Project Manager Alf Caputo was one of many enthusiastic golfers to tackle the course on the opening day.

“It’s been a fabulous journey,” he said. “It’s been a hell of a lot of fun coming across. We started five years ago with a dream and the dream has become a reality. The idea was to attract tourists and golfers who wanted to experience “the real Australia”. There’s some absolutely amazing scenery and before Nullabor Links there was no magnet to bring people out there to have a look at these beautiful things.”

What’s is the experience like? If you hit the ball like Tiger Woods you’ll be in your element. It is a golf course that requires a driver on every hole.

The holes are so far apart you will have to drive or be transported from one to the next and are likely to encounter some native Australian wildlife, including kangaroos, bush turkeys, emus, snakes and flies on your way. One of the holes is in the middle of a sheep station, complete with shearing shed. The course also passes through wheat farming areas in South Australia.

“You can imagine international tourists, particularly from England, Japan and China, who have never seen anything like it in their lives.” Mr Caputo said.

How long does it take?

You will need to allow 3 or 4 days to complete the par-72 course and you will be awarded a certificate at the end. Driving time between the holes varies from 45 minutes to two and a half hours. You can stop at one roadhouse, play a hole, then drive on to the next tee, 50 miles or 80km down the road. Some distances are even greater.

The holes themselves are in some rather strange locations.Some are alongside long featureless stretches of the Eyre Highway and some are positioned near petrol stations. And they’re not natural grass greens. Like many rural golf courses in Australia, due to the lack of water, a few greens are sand, stabilised with oil. Once you get used to them, they are easy to play on. Other greens are artificial turf.

As Alf Caputo proudly says: “It’s not just a game of golf, it’s a true Australian experience.”

Does Your College Major Lead to a Great Job?

Posted on by

Many students enter college every year and select a major that may not lead directly to a job that is in demand and pays a decent starting salary. Since students usually want to leave home after graduation, live on their own, have some fun, buy a new car and begin to pay back their college loans, that should be a concern to both students and parents alike. Spending all of that time in college and paying all of that money only makes sense when students graduate with a job that has career potential.

Although there will always be a few students in any major who do end up with good jobs, they may not use or need their coursework in the job they accept. Unfortunately, there are some majors where the odds for graduating with a good job with career potential can be tough. When students major in an area such as: Philosophy, Psychology, Music, Art History, Communications, Humanities, Sociology, Theater, Dance, Latin, Literature and Language Arts, etc., good jobs can be hard to find. Therefore, these graduates may end up in a job such as a Bank Teller, Car Rental Clerk, Book Store Clerk, Waiter/Waitress, Retail Sales Trainee, Fast Food Management Trainee, Peace Corps Volunteer, Telephone Solicitor, Hotel Desk Clerk, Insurance Claims Processor, Youth Counselor, Home Care Case Worker or something similar. If these are not the jobs that you were hoping to land after graduation, you should answer the following questions:

– How many recruiters came to your campus last year looking for students with your major?
– Where did last year’s graduates (with your major) end up?
– Does your major almost require you to go on to Graduate School?
– Should you change your major?
– What minor would increase your chances for job hunting success?
– Should you consider a double major?
– What can you do to increase employer interest?

I’ve used the “music” major in the exercise below. However, students in every major should gather this information for their own field of interest.

1. Identify A Wide Variety Of Job Titles Closely Associated With The Music Business

To identify job titles, talk with Career Services, Professors, Other Students, Alumni, Interns, Musicians, Entertainers, Music Business Executives, Promoters, Agents, use the Library or do some Research On-line. Once you have a long list of typical jobs in the music business, you can narrow or select a direction that makes the most sense for you.

2. Identify and Evaluate Employers Within All Areas Of The Music Business

More research and networking is required to identify employers in your narrow area of interest. Once you have a long list of potential employers, those that hire students like you, you can evaluate them and eliminate those employers that don’t fit your needs.

At the same time, you should determine exactly what those employers need, want and expect of the students they hire. You’ll need to know, in order to get prepared.

3. Use Your Network To Identify Information And Contacts / People In The Music Business

Your network can help you identify the people and information you are seeking. Make a list of everyone you know and ask them about the people they know who are in any way connected with music or the music business. There are people in your network who have the information and contacts that you need.

4. List Your Personal or Professional Experience In The Music Business

What experience and exposure have you had within the music business? Have you held a music-related job? Do you play an instrument? Do you write music? Do you give guitar lessons? Do you have a band? Have you recorded a song? Have you sung in public? Have you worked at a radio station? Any music-related work experience is helpful.

5. With Regard To Music, What Do You Do Best? / Like The Most?

It’s important for you to understand yourself and your capabilities in the field of music. It is more likely that you will be successful when you are involved with things you do well and enjoy. Therefore, you should take a few minutes to determine what you do best and like most. Then, you should pursue jobs that enable you to take advantage of your strengths.

6. List Any Music Industry Skills, Abilities and Accomplishments

Take your own inventory. Make a list of your skills, abilities and accomplishments related to the field of music. This will help you recognize where you are today and also tell you what you should be working on to improve or expand your capabilities.

7. Can You Start Your Own Business?

Are your capabilities and experience such that you can start a business related to the music that you love? Not everyone works for somebody else. Many people are in business for themselves.

If you truly love the field that you have chosen and can’t picture yourself doing anything else, you will have to face those odds head-on and get prepared to fight for success. Since it is unlikely that employers will be falling all over themselves to hire music majors, there are actions to be taken and decisions to be made. This may mean that you become a business major in order to work in the music business as a promoter, an accountant, in sales, advertising, marketing or public relations. It may mean that you pursue an internship at a Radio Station, TV Station or Recording Studio. Or, it may mean that you finally start that jazz band that you’ve been dreaming about. Whatever you decide, the earlier you get started the better.

3 Reasons Why EVERY Entrepreneur Should Learn a Few Coaching Skills

Posted on by

As an entrepreneur who specializes in a done-for-you service (it doesn’t get any more done-for-you then handing clients a piece of copy plus the exact strategy for how to use it to get the best results in their business) you would think I would be the last person who would need to coach someone around mindset shifts or through their blocks.

Alas that is not the case.

You would be surprised at how many times I’ve been hired (and fully paid) for copy the clients have loved but never used.

Why? Well, there are as many reasons as entrepreneurs out there but a good chunk of the time it has to do with some sort of block.

So how do I respond? As much as I can, I try and step in and work them through whatever has got them stuck (although I really am not a coach). Which means having a few coaching skills in my back pocket has proven to be amazingly helpful.

This is why I firmly believe all entrepreneurs could use a little training in the coaching skills department, even if they never call themselves a coach or sell coaching services or packages.

Here are 3 reasons why every entrepreneur could benefit from some coaching skills:

1. You’re more likely to have your clients actually use (and get results from) your products, programs or services. Even if you offer a pure done-for-you service, if your clients aren’t ready to embrace the next level of their business, they won’t get the results you know you can deliver.

Have you ever watched those reality television shows like “Restaurant Impossible” or “Hotel Impossible?” The host walks into a failing restaurant or hotel and along with giving them some practical, basic business advice, they also end up doing a heck of a lot of coaching around whatever it is that got the business owner to this place of near bankruptcy. And because the hosts do that coaching (along with it making good television because who doesn’t like to watch people crying and hugging on camera) the business owners are much more likely to follow through with their changes when they aren’t there.

That’s why coaching skills can be invaluable.

2. You reduce your refunds/unhappiness rate. Again, because your clients actually implement your suggestions/consulting/done-for-you services, they’re more likely to see results, which makes them happier and better clients.

You’re also more likely to end up with some killer testimonials from them not to mention lots of good word of mouth advertising.

3. You’re more likely to actually make a difference in the world. Look, if part of why you’re passionate about your business is because you want to get your message out there and see some change, that’s only going to happen if your clients actually implement what you’re teaching or offering. There’s no better to way to increase the odds of that happening then to be able to coach them when things come up.

Remember, your clients hired you or invested in your products because they had a problem they wanted solved. And the best thing you can do for them is to help make sure they actually get their money’s worth. And that’s where coaching skills can be worth their weight in gold.

Roadmap to Your 6-Figure Freelance Career

Posted on by

My previous post generated a very interesting debate among a group of aspiring online home business entrepreneurs I met with last week. This debate centered on the question “Who is a Freelancer? In a way, it was my making. I should have defined the term ‘freelancer’ in my post. So today’s post seeks to do just that, define the term ‘freelancer’. Plus we look at the great opportunities a noticeable expansion in the freelance career field presents to those willing to cease on it and build a 6-figure freelance career as online home business entrepreneurs.

Enjoy it.

Who Is A Freelancer?

The word “free lancer” was perhaps first coined in 1819 by Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott in his novel “Ivanhoe”. Ivanhoe, by the way, formed the basis of the Robin Hood character as it exists today.

In the referred novel, Scott described Italian and French mercenaries as “freelances”, meaning they were free men who offered their services (skills with a lance) to wealthy land owners and would fight on their Lord’s behalf against groups loyal to other noblemen. These were similar to the private security firms the US and NATO employed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Since 1903, the Oxford English dictionary recognized the term “freelance” as a verb from where it passed into everyday parlance serving variously as a noun, adjective and adverb.

For our purposes, however, we must turn to a more recent definition which refers to a freelancer as “someone who is self employed and not committed to a particular employer for a longer period of time.”

As a freelance online entrepreneur, you can operate from anywhere of your choosing. This could be in the basement of your house, by the beach, your camp cabin or anywhere you feel comfortable at with your computer and Internet access. In fact, these days, you can today even operate your 6-figure freelance career from your smart phone, your tablet or laptop. And you work at your own pace offering your services on hourly, daily, or per task basis not as a regular employee by an employer.

Freelancing is therefore nothing but a flexible way of selling your expertise and/or professional capabilities in the market via the Internet.

As online businesses expand, so do freelance opportunities increase in the market making freelancing a field of enormous demand. According to a 2009 statistics published by the US Department of labor, approximately 7.4% of the US workforce (10.3 million workers) is on independent contracts. The report also indicates that because of cheap human resource available in many developing countries around the world, offshore outsourcing and crowd sourcing have also become frequent. Between 2006 and 2009, for instance, US companies were said to have increased their outsourcing by 22% on the Internet. The result is a boom in freelance career opportunities and its mounting scope is manifested in the areas of copywriting, editing, indexing, software development, proof reading, website design, advertising, open innovations and many others. Ever expanding prospects of online business entrepreneurship create golden opportunities in the field of freelancing. There is never a better time than now to get in and create your 6-figure or even 7-figure freelance career.

There’s no doubt today that most (major) world economies continue to struggle under the effects of the global recession. There’s equally no doubting the fact that millions of formerly gainfully employed workers remain unemployed without any good prospects of finding new jobs. The good news however is that freelance careers are expanding. And as they expand, they provide smart freelancers great opportunities to build highly successful online businesses working from the comfort of their homes.

Look out for my next post which discusses the highly lucrative area of freelance writing. We’ll also look at some steps you can start taking immediately towards building your 6-figure freelance writing career. Don’t miss your copy, sign up for my free weekly newsletter, Global Success eTips today.
