Spanx: From concept to creation The idea for Spanx came about in 1998, when Blakely—who was selling fax machines door to door in Florida—wanted to eliminate panty lines showing through her cream-colored slacks.

And if people can’t reach you, and reach you easily, they’ll move on to another freelancer. The key is to respond promptly.
