Crystal and Adriene,

Your plans sound exciting, and this is a GREAT time to start your freelance business. So many potential clients really need help with their books and to watch their pennies…with your help.

Always think win-win and you’ll always have clients and a business that you love!

Stay in touch and let us know how it goes. We’re all cheering for you!

Hi Gabrielle,

Your timing is absolutely the best! On Monday, I will be doing a “dry-run” working from home for my employer. I went to my first networking meeting yesterday hosted by one of my friends who is also self employed. My employer will become my first client soon as I will transition into my new role and I have a couple of prospects that he has recommended me for. Things are lining up! I need more training, however, and do plan to pursue that so that I can have the confidence that will be needed for my success. Thank you so much for your encouragement and support!

Gabrielle, this is a great blog. My friend and I have decided to start our own bookkeeping company and don’t know where to start. This blog was very helpful and we will be taking your advice.

Gabrielle, this is my second time reading this blog and I was able to check out the video on how to use Craig list. I’m going to try it out right now. Thanks!

Thanks Deb, I appreciate you adding the tip for using social networks. They take some time to get results, but they will yield solid referrals; can’t beat word of mouth!

Thank you, too, Alex for sharing your posting system for ads. Great idea!

I appreciate the positive feedback too!

Hi Gabrielle,

I have been using Craigslist since early last year, and I get great response. I stopped contacting employment ads because I did not get anywhere with this, but my own ad gets at least one inquiry a week. Most of my clients came from Craigslist.

One tip I would like to share: Because Craigslist allows you to post only every other day, create 2 acounts (you’ll need 2 email addresses) and submit ads every day, alternating between the two accounts. This way you have daily coverage.

Your blog is great, btw.

Hi Gabrielle,

I agree with you that Craigslist is another way to find clients online. I answer ads for part-time bookkeepers on a regular basis. As of yet I haven’t gotten a client this way, but I have gotten alot of inquires. So I think it will only be a matter of time. Another suggestion that I’d like to make is social networking….Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter… for both local and national contacts. Let people get to know and trust you as a person and they may just turn into a client or refer you to someone that needs your services.

By the way, love your name, its the same as my daughters
