Startup has Roots in False Starts

发布于 - 最后修改于

Life isn’t always how we expect it to be. We plan to do things, to achieve things in our lifetime. Suddenly when we think we are on the right track, we veer off in a totally different direction. We often need false starts in order to get to where we should be. And Amit Singhal, a web developer from India, is no stranger to this, especially when it comes to his attempts to try out freelancing.

Now a successful manager handling global internet marketing for the family business, he has more time to dedicate to web design and development projects on the world’s largest outsourcing marketplace Freelancer.com. At the same time, he is gaining ground for his startup web development business, Perseverance Technologies, where he is the sole employee.  “I am very much satisfied with Freelancer,” he says. “I am able to use my spare time and generate additional income. In fact, 100% of Perseverance Technologies income is derived from Freelancer projects.”
