Hi there,

Happy Anniversary!

You know, I’ve been lurking around your blog for the past two months… after almost a year of thinking to take the plunge. And yes I’ve taken the plunge right now and your site has helped me a lot!

Thank you so very much for the useful tips, great leads and daily gig postings. I got my first gig from here about two weeks ago and couldn’t be more grateful as it’s a start.

Loving this site

Daryl, John, Jerry, Bill, whatever your name is this week. You seem to be a big fan of Deb’s since you go to all her blogs and leave comments. This is one of the nicer ones.

Are you telling me you wouldn’t put full time work first over a volunteer effort? Of course you’re going to take a higher paying job. Don’t tell us you wouldn’t think of the money.

And I don’t consider myself screwed if there aren’t jobs because there’s always good advice and good company here. Well, except for you.

I hope Debs keeping a record of these. She probably has a good case for harrassment at this point.

Another new gig, Deb? I don’t know how you do it. Congrats.

Jodee, hope you feel better soon. I had a nasty bug earlier this week, but it was luckily only the 24-hour kind. (Still sucked, though.)

Deb, the backup idea is a great one, too. Someone who already watches the lists and can jump in when needed.

Daryl,

I sure your mother taught you to mind your manners when you’re a guest in someone else’s house. Well it applies here too.

Yikes . . .I’ve been lurking for awhile and finally decided to post–consider my post one that cancels out the mean one! I think you’ve done such a great job! I mean, there are so many sites where you have to PAY to find out this information. Plus, your personal touches and style make this a fun and supportive site to visit!

Congrats on your gig!!!

Wow Daryl – two mean posts within minutes of each other. We’re here because we like Deb and what she does so if you can’t say something nice….

Sorry for the paltry bit of leads, folks. Jodee is under the weather and I’m starting a new freelance gig with almost full time hours.

Sorry folks, you’re fucked! Deb has gotta fatten her purse with her favorite color MONEY!

I’d like to read that Jessica. The first steps are always the hardest. I’d be interested to see another person’s perspective on starting “officially” to freelance.
