Freelancing in Real Life

How’s your whuffie? What is whuffie? Check out my review of Tara Hunt’s new book on the currency of social capital:

I’m posting this on AnywhereMan because I feel that social visibility is incredibly important for those of us who are out here on our own. By not being tied into the corporate pipeline we are missing a lot of the face-to-face social interactions that we would have in a normal workday. Through movements such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, we now have a way to increase our networking opportunities.

Tara’s book will give you a variety of methods to increase your whuffie to benefit your personal brand. Be sure to follow Tara on Twitter at www.twitter.com/missrogue.

Get the book from Amazon:
The Whuffie Factor: Using the Power of Social Networks to Build Your Business

Here is a quick video introduction to the AnywhereMan concept.  I talk about who I am, what I do, and what I hope to accomplish with AnywhereMan.  And of course it’s only fitting that the first video on this site be filmed in a canoe.

So while I am busy introducing myself, introduce yourself.  

Who are you, what do you do, and are you a current freelancer/telecommuter/anywhere-er, or are you thinking about it?

Thanks for checking out the site! More to come…
