A full time telecommuter since 1996, Fortin is the author of a comprehensive guide for telecommuters entitled, “You Can Work In Your PJs.” This downloadable book lays out proven techniques and strategies for finding and satisfying clients.
In 1999, given her concerns about open job search databases, Fortin identified the need for a way companies looking to outsource work could connect more easily with freelancers and consultants. The company she started, Workaholics4Hire, is based in Canada and has been successfully pairing clients and freelancers across various types of expertise -- including office work, article submission and IT capabilities, as well as website content, Search Engine Optimization and ebook writing.
Fortin’s Workaholics4Hire is different from other job databases in several important ways. For example, freelancers don’t have to pay fees to join. Importantly, the company provides escrow account oversight making sure that those doing the work get paid and clients don’t get pressured to pay until the job is done and they are satisfied with the work.
Fortin puts her heart into everything she does. A breast cancer survivor, she maintained a blog in order to reach out to other women suffering from the disease. Further, she continues to be involved in fund raising efforts in this area.
Fortin, a resident of Ontario, Canada, is currently focusing her efforts on helping others learn how to make money online reputably. In 2008, along with her business and life partner – husband and copywriter Michel Fortin -- she started “Success Chef,” a training system that focuses on starting a successful Internet business. The system provides a comprehensive overview of all proven moneymaking strategies, step-by-step recipes for building a company and extensive, detailed reviews of tools and resources. Lessons are delivered incrementally so one can follow at his or her own pace. In addition, Fontin’s training system allows access to group coaching calls and mastermind sessions. It even comes with a 100% money back guarantee.
She worries that unsavory tactics are hurting the reputation of the field she loves. Therefore, Fortin has also taken on those Internet Marketers who use unscrupulous practices, especially with respect to membership and continuity programs. "Internet Marketing Sins: An Open Letter to All Internet Marketers" is due out soon. It’s already created quite a buzz.
