One of the neatest things to have happened in the last few days here on FreelanceSwitch has been the rapid translation of some of our posts into French and Spanish.

This makes us extremely happy because the more freelancers who profit from this site, the better!

So to throw this open, if anyone else would like to, please feel free to translate and post any of our FreelanceSwitch content, just put up a credit and link back to the site for your reader’s reference, and let us know so that we can place links on the appropriate posts for our non-English friends…

Enjoy! Appréciez! Disfruta!

Hello Freelancers!

On behalf of the team, I would like to welcome you all to the site. As many of you know this site only launched about two weeks ago and has grown very rapidly thanks to all your generous comments, votes, subscriptions and emails.

As you know our mission is to provide an essential resource and community for freelancers of all types in every location. To this end we have many things in store for you all. In the next few days we will be welcoming three new additions to the team: a programmer, a photographer and a writer, as well as launching a full resource directory and introducing podcasts to the site.

Over the coming months expect also to see interviews of freelancers in every profession, product reviews to help you find the best and brightest applications to streamline your workday and help to find more freelance work. In May we will also be starting the 2007 Global Freelance Survey to help compile data from around the world on rates and methods of work. And of course through it all we’ll be giving you all your daily freelance tips, news and opinion.

If you have feedback on the site, suggestions for what you’d like to see, or tips for articles and links you think would be worthwhile for other freelancers please do Contact Us.

Other than that, enjoy the site!

Welcome to FreelanceSwitch, your friendly freelancing resource. We’ll be spending the next two weeks putting the final touches to the site, but decided to make the site live as we couldn’t wait to get started! The blog is the first part of the site to go live, however you’ll soon see a freelance gig board, resource directory and forums all coming on board soon.

In the meantime we hope you enjoy the articles, while we iron out the kinks. If you have feedback or suggestions for the site please do write in to the Editor as we’d love to hear your thoughts.
