Thanks for all the warming welcomes. I think I'm gonna like it here. My main issue right now is trying to get new clients (I'm sure those working on their own understand). My two areas of expertise are transcriptions - I have done mental health, law, and general interviews, and administrative work since I have spent my life working for top level CEO's and Executives. BUt finding available clients is difficult. But I've learned in life that difficult is just a bump in the road to your goal....... I've raised 2 sons completely alone and we survived very well. So that's my momentum to go out and find clients. I'm sure you all have you own stories of perseverance and success.

Welcome!!

I too need to find clients and my niche would be Administrative/Clerical and Bookkeeping. Although I think I would be very good at proofreading as well (don't know really the main differences between proofreading and editing as in my mind they would go together, but I know somehow they are looked at as two separate entities, right? Please let me know anybody......)

Anyway good luck to you, nice to meet you!
