Freelancing Riches

I’ve been freelancing now for two years, and I love the benefits of being able to work from home and have a certain level of independence. Sometimes that individuality comes with a price, as I found out this past week – no in-house IT support!

While compiling a proposal for internet marketing consulting, I knew I had a couple excel reports from a previous job that could be repurposed for this project. Unfortunately, I hadn’t opened the documents in a couple years and couldn’t remember or find the password. Obviously, contacting my previous company for the key was not an option.

Maybe Microsoft can offer an online service to securely store user passwords for documents? I’d love the ability to submit a “forgot password” request and receive a new one via email, much like every online login service in the industry. Oh well, until then we have to use utilities and cracks to access our forgotten files.

I ended up finding a good solution with step-by-step details and a free download for excel password recovery at Petri IT Knowledgebase. Their guide simply shows you how to use the utility’s two available options for recovery, and didn’t take more than a few minutes to complete. Give it a try if you ever find yourself in a similar (embarrassing) predicament as mine.

I will be choosing 2 workers for this job. I need a promoter who will be able to give me legitimate signups and a blogger to write blogs. Site: www.freelancestory.com ( Place where freelances can share their experience/story of freelancing ) I will be paying $.40 per post and $0.60 per signup… (Budget: $30-250, Jobs: Advertising, Blog, Publishing, SocialEngine, Web Promotion)
