Hey guys, before I say anything, please note that I tried to post this vanity in "general/chat" but there was not a category that fit.
Here's the deal.
I have just taken the (some) steps to start a freelance career.
I have been checking out freelancing for a while now at freelancer.com and upwork.com and others.
I am still an outsider looking in.
But I am going in...and I will share my experiences here for my fellow freepers.
I am going to start with freelance projects that are involved with MS Excel and VBA. Starting at the bottom and working up from there.
Here's the thing for Freepers.
There are many here who are retired or are planning for it.
If we can use our lifelong experiences to make a little money to pay for our retirement...let's go do it.
If any of you retirees or soon to be retirees are interested...let's get a conversation started.
Just play with toys!
Be just like this 6 year old millionaire!

Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Contingnecye Planning and Operations, Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Teaching (University Adjunct)
please add me to the new ping list.
can’t really freelance as a Mask Designer (physically draw computer chips). Forced to retire after 34 years.
but have a dream of freelance writing.
Things like:
Salary and Bonus administration
Benefits Enrollment and billing
Sales Commission plans
Stock option plan administration
International pay programs
And anything else
In simple words, we automate Excel spreadsheets and create powerful and sophisticated solutions that turn time-intensive tasks into a click of the mouse.
Check out my website www.4HRV.com It has some interesting examples of our work.
I would gather that you are growing rapidly.
Business is good. The challenge is finding new business. Most people use 2-5% of what Excel can do. Even 'power users' use only 10-25% of what Excel can deliver.
And that is the problem with sales. People know Excel from their own experience. They screwed up a sort so they think it is unreliable. They can't update databases easily, and have to redo formulas. All of our sales are relationship sales - from someone who knows what we can do
Send me a private message with your contact information and we can talk. I can set up a 'Go To Meeting'
