My fiancee and I are planning on moving from California to Nevada in about 3-4 months, and I will be leaving my current job at an accounting firm. Before I do that, I would like to establish some clients on the side, so that by the time we move I will have a somewhat established client base. The goal is to be able to just consult and not have to commit to a full time job when we move.
Once we are there, I will be able to meet and do work for clients in person, but for now it would have to be all remote. Has anyone had success establishing themselves as a consultant who usually has to work remotely/telecommute? I know I would be able to do the work remotely without a problem, it is just a matter of convincing the client.
I already plan on making a website, creating a listing on Craigslist, and that sort of thing, but any other advice on how to attract clients and/or demonstrate that I can effectively work remotely would be appreciated! (Or if you know someone in need of accounting/bookkeeping services)
Thanks!
