It’s the 21st century and most people wanna earn from home online rather than doing day jobs. If it were in the past hearing such things would have sounded like a pipe dream. But now things have changed. Now we have freelancing through which we can earn. But what is it?
Well, first it’s not something scamming like click to earn or watch videos and get paid or anything like that. It’s real jobs for real people just online. Here you are just lending your skills to people who don’t have them and getting paid for it. Like, suppose you are good at writing emails. And someone needs to write up a lot of them but he is not good at it. Thus he hires you and asks you to write those mail for him in return for some quick bucks. And the fun part is you don’t have to go outside your home to do this. You can just do it on your computer at home.
By now you should get the gist of what online freelancing is but is it that easy to get an offer? And how much can earn just from doing such simple writing stuff?
First, believe me, it’s definitely not that easy. Offers won’t come rolling in for you. And why would they? It’s not like everyone on the planet knows about you and your skills. You have to look for them yourself. And as for earning from simple jobs like writing email they sure don’t pay much but they aren’t the only jobs available. Writing emails is just one of the many categories that you can choose from. There’s virtually no limit to what kind of job you can do. You can choose a programmer job or an interpreter to translate foreign documents or a graphics designer and many more. Depending on the difficulty of the job and how much you can satisfy the client’s needs you can make a decent amount of earn. In some cases, you can earn more than what you earn on a regular job.
I think you are pretty much interested in starting freelancing by now and wanna dive into it ASAP. Hold your horses let me give you a few pointers that you should know before you start anything.
Choose the right place to earn
You can’t think like work will come looking for you. That’s just daydreaming. In order to be successful, you have to look for your chances. Luckily there are various sites that can help you in this regard. Like Upwork, Freelancer, Fiverr, Streaming Plug, etc. So choose which platform suits you the best and start freelancing.
Have patience
It’s not a fast pace job when you apply and get the job and make money. It’s a slow process. At first, people don’t even know you are about your skills so it’s natural to choose veterans rather than an amateur. So you should be prepared for two to four months with no job whatsoever. What you can do is keep polishing your skills and have patience and be ready to jump in when the workflows start coming your way.
Charge the right amount for a work
Some beginners tend to charge way less than their work’s worth to get jobs quicker. But what they don’t understand is that by doing this they are not only undermining their work but also influencing that client about the quality of your work. And let me tell you it’s not in a positive way. Charging the right amount for your work not only shows respect toward your profession but also reflects the quality of it and the confidence that you have in your skills.
Keeping your commitments
In the online industry, commitments are worth a lot. If you don’t submit your work time or don’t do it according to what you had told them it’s will be hard for you to remain in this line of work. Thus one should always try to deliver their work to the client within the time that was decided between them without hampering the quality of the work.
