I haven’t read the book, but I’ve heard about it, and I’m curious to meet the man behind the idea. I wonder if I can get hold of the book and cruise through it before Friday.

The freedom and flexibility of the system is great, I can be anywhere in the world, I can move from one day to the next, and as long as I have internet access I can work. The site also supplies my leads and clients, handles the payment, and escrows the money up front thus giving me a level of security.

However, the money is not great. It’s a truly global business, so I compete with people from emerging economy countries. The work can also be simple jobs, not always very inspiring, and not always the best possible work I could produce.

So I am inviting you, yes YOU, my reader, to offer any feedback you might have. Do you know of other nomadic professions which would offer better rewards? More creative work? Can you suggest how I could improve the situation? All comments welcome…
