Do you think a small freelance business could work?

[Shortie]

Freelancing seems to be one of the more popular ways for people to earn an income online. With so many different things you can offer if you have the skills, it's known as one of the most popular businesses to be involved in. I have seen many sites that offer a service for people to be able to share their freelance services with many places being quite successful but it got me wondering whether a small freelance business would work even now with so many other companies already having something in place.

What are your thoughts? Do you think a small freelance business could work?
