Go to Amazon and search for books on independent consulting. A very good
one, written by Douglas Florzak, a technical writer, is Successful
Independent Consulting, . It has a 5 star rating on Amazon.
Chapters include: Overview of Consulting, Consulting in Your Field, Drowing
Form Your Strengths, Creating a Business Plan, Setting Your Rate Structure
The Legal Form of Your Business and Tax Issues, Insurance, etc.
I looked at the "Well Fed Writer" site. IMHO, stay away. Sounds much like
the "get rich with little or no work buying forclosed real estate" ads on
TV. As any independent will tell you, no matter what they do, owning your
own business and keeping it running and profitable is *hard* work.
Good luck,
