How to Prospect for Virtual Work Using Flexjobs

by | Everyday, How She Quits Show

Welcome to the How She Quits Show – Episode 11

Where can I find quality virtual work I can do from home? How do I effectively use the online job sites to prospect for new clients?

These are common questions for new and seasoned Virtual Professionals. On Episode 11 of the How She Quits Show I’m going to demystify this topic by giving you a live tour of Flexjobs, a job site for freelancers, but more importantly exactly HOW I filter and search to find the exact right opportunities for many different specialties – VA work, Project Managers, writers, finance gurus, marketers and more.

We’ll look at hot jobs available now and I’ll show you how to identify the jobs worth bidding for.
