Copywriter Danny Margulies - Winning on Elance

Danny Margulies quit his job. Next he wrote 'how to make money writing' into Google. Two days later he had his first client on freelance marketplace Elance. It's become his sole place for finding work. Fair to say, he's making more than enough money writing now. He's since started a course teaching the techniques he's picked up to win at freelancing online. You can get Danny's top 5 hacks for succeeding as an online freelancer here. Let's be clear: Danny does not work for Elance.
