Considerations are EXACTLY the same as when you consider any form of
self-employment as a contract professional, e.g. Accountant, Carpenter,
Doctor or Lawyer. (Well, hold off on 'lawyer' since you are obviously smart
enough to look before you leap instead of assuming the world is your
oyster).
The one thing which might surprise you *unpleasantly* is the amount of time
you will find you need to devote to *marketing* your services as opposed to
*providing* them.
