Making Money as a Freelancer
Got skills but no job? Want to make full use of your skills as a freelancer? Want to make money as a Freelancer? There are ways and this article shows one of them.
About a few days ago, I was introduced to this site where all freelancers can take up projects and get paid for. This is what I was waiting for. How does it all work? This is how:
- You sign up and register your own account.
- This includes your method of getting paid of either check or Paypal account.
- Also a list of available skills in which you will provide to any employer who’s interested. Though these are only skills that can be done online. (For example, you can only do some freelancing web work and sending data. But you cannot be a freelancing cook for them.)
- And then, they will provide you 15 free bids to bid on a project. Every month you will get 15 free bids to bid on more projects.
- Bid is just the same as any auction. You bid the item you want. The highest bidder wins the item and pays for it in the end. But in this case, your bidding for them to pay you. You bid at a price where the employer pays you for the project you want to do. After the project is completed, you get paid. This has to be done professionally.
- After you have your own account, you can do the following:
- You can start bidding and if you’re a new freelancer, you have to bid on the trial projects. The other kind of projects (featured, nonpublic and public) is open to all freelancers.
- Whatever you bid, it has to be enough for the employer to pay for. The cheaper you ask for, the better. Of course people wants more out of the project right? So be wise in submitting a bid.
- After you successfully get hired by them, you must to complete the assigned project as soon as possible and with quality.
- This may include: Effective communication between you and your employer, time spent discussing about the project, deliver drafts then re-do if needed, after-market project, etc
- Once a project is completed, you have to give your employer a feedback and so would your employer do for you.
- Feedbacks are important to gain more successful hires from other employer after the previous employer’s recommendation.
- More feedbacks, more employer’s eyes will be looking at you and hire you instead.
It’s quite simple and easy to say. But it’s hard to do. As of now, I’m already doing 2 projects from 2 employers. That would mean a lot of time spent working on those projects. (Time estimated to finish and be free to write more articles again = after 2 weeks) So in the meantime, if you’re looking for a job and you can do it online, why not join and be a freelancer? (Note: All payments aren’t the same. But most are USD from my projects.)
