Due to family demands, I had put my career on the backburner, working only when it could fit in the entire pattern of life at home. Since it was my own decision that made things a little easier. Now finally my two sons are a little older and Gautam, all of 3 years has even begun school.

I took up writing as a hobby almost 2 years ago. Encouraged by good feedback, I started doing it professionally and along the way learned the ropes of professional article and creative writing. Thanks to elance and job sites, I have managed to find projects I can do from home and hence have flexible timings in terms of working. The experience of working with international clients in the USA and Australia has been particularly enriching. They give you so much of space and freedom to explore beyond the expected and are thoroughly professional. But each project I do is different and my commitment to each one has been total.

This new year we took the big step of beginning our own Consultancy — Smart Solutions which offers IT solutions and Writing services. Check out our website at http://smartsol.in. Some links are still getting worked upon. The website has been created, designed and written completely by us.

The road ahead will be filled with ups and downs but I am determined to make the most of the experiences I have along the way. For now, I am enjoying the work; the freedom of working for myself and doing challenging time-bound projects. I get to meet and work with good, talented people and and of course learn so much while working. The experience is amazing. At home things have become much more hectic but I am able to manage with my husband’s help.

Just wanted to share my excitement of doing something new in my life. I hope any of you guys with relevant needs would give us a chance to work for you.

    @Bhagyashree I do content writing for websites, article writing, blog posts etc. If you are a really good writer, develop a portfolio of articles and other work, try bidding on freelancing sites and on job sites. Read up a lot and take it on from there. Even though, I do it from home; I spend a lot of time on it and have to meet clients for meetings.
