How do you get started in an online career?

I'm of the opinion that if you ask 10 different people how they got their start, you'll get 10 different answers. We all come into this line of work through our own unique way.

As I was getting ready to leave active duty, I had a job waiting on me. A job that I could immediately begin working in. My bridge to working entirely online without the need to get a regular "full time" office job.

Many of my fellow soldiers and superiors couldn't believe that I was able to so easily do this. Until I told them about my secret to freelancing.

And how freelancing ultimately opened the doors to working entirely online.
