I've been through it - my web development company is about four years in. Very hard work, and a lot of lessons learnt on the way. You're right though - it does need a bit of courage!

I’ve been through it – my web development company is about four years in. Very hard work, and a lot of lessons learnt on the way.

You’re right though – it does need a bit of courage!

Most of the software you need can be found as open source. Even Microsoft give Visual Web Developer away for free. Gimp will do any Photoshop type stuff. OpenOffice gives you a word processor, spreadsheet program, database and powerpoint equivalent. Google anayltics tells you what your site traffic is like without charge. And most of useful info you need as a startup can be found from blogs like this one or a small business forum. Got to be the cheapest time in history to set up on your own and the internet does make the world your oyster. Think it cost me about £30 for hosting and site name.

You can see what it's all about at www.yourvirtualresource.com - click on become a VA. If you have HR or Interview experience, you might want to take a look at www.interviewcoachingbusiness.com - it costs a little more to get started, but the rewards will be terrific. Support from The Interview Coach, Carole Martin is terrific. It's a business where you can help people. There are lots of opportunities, but these are the ones I know work. But you have to keep the faith that you can do it.
