Hello again ,
This post is different , it is the beginning of serious money making , it is the meat and potatoes of online money making besides other ways , all of previous ways were just candy and most of them were for non-skilled people and for those who want to make money even during sleep .
Today I am going to talk about Freelancing which is the backbone of earning income through internet .
Before we begin , answer this question first :
Do you have a real digital skill that can be done on computer or laptop ?
If yes , ask yourself what is it ?
Is it Digital marketing ? Graphic designing ? Programming ? Editing ? Writing and translation ? website building ? ... etc
whatever your digital skill is , you can find variety of jobs you can do on this site .
People per hour :
It is one of top sites in freelancing field , here users are exchanging services online between each other and it is like mine of gold for skilled people , as the payments are very well .
How it works :
It is like fiverr , but more professional and more income , you have two different ways of doing jobs :
1- post hourlie : here you introduce to other members what are you exactly doing , and when some customer needs a job done and matches this certain skill he chooses between the freelancers and decides which one he would pick up , sounds like you are selling fishes in the middle of the sea , right ? luckily there are more effective way .
2- send proposals : this is when you browse available jobs that match your skill you introduce your services for the customer who posted the job offer , this maybe hard too , so I will give you some advises to increase your chance of getting the job , after I state the third way .
3- advertise your services outside the site : Maybe you have a social media account that has a lot of popularity , for example you have an Instagram account or Facebook , Twitter ... etc and you have a lot of followers or a Facebook page that is over 250+ likes that you can use to post your service on it , or join relevant groups that people there need such skill and service to be accomplished , or simply advertise for your service in any place you wish .
How to overcome the proposals trap and win the job ?
1- And the most important point is to build up an excellent portfolio , as this is what will make the employer like to choose your services , add sample screenshots of your own work that is done flawlessly , add a good bio , and preferred to upload a good profile picture and video .
2- Be quick : Employers 70% of cases doesn't have time to check all proposal senders , so they see the first 3 profiles and your chance to get the job will be higher if step 1 above done properly .
3- Don't be a beggar : Just send the proposals and don't beg the employer to pick you up as it delivers him a negative feedback about you , he will think " if he is that good why is he begging him to use his services ? unless he just wants my money and not interested in doing the job properly ? " , instead , convince him with your portfolio and samples of your work and let him decide whether he hire you or not .
4- offer a fair price for your service : there are a lot of jobs that has no price offer , that means it is like an auction * , so to increase your chance offer a price that is not too high nor too low , as offering very high price will make you be perceived as greedy and offering very low price is perceived as unskilled person that just wants to get some bucks , this is in case of you are first one , second , or third one to send proposal and if not the job has fixed price.**
* You have to offer higher price than the popup message reports you , which means higher than the price that the freelancer before you offered
** The job that has a fixed price is which customer is ready to pay certain amount of money , that means you have to do the job with the price stated
5- Let your history talks about you : After you do a successful job , the customer will give a feedback about you , so make a good impression that makes the customer gives you 5 star rating , that will be perfect for you in future and you will no longer need to send proposals .
Side notes :
1- when you sign up , you get about 15 proposal credits , which you can't send proposals if you run out of them unless you buy more credits , so , be wise when you choose the job you want to work on .
2- All jobs are handled and delivered through Escrow , What ?
Escrow is the system which prevents scamming or cheating , therefore , customer ( employer ) has to pay and seller ( freelancer ) has to deliver the job , and the both factors are kept in a this platform until the both are provided , then the payment is released to the seller and the job is delivered to the buyer .
What are the payment methods to get the payment as a freelancers ?
Other payment methods are :
1- PayPal
2- Wire transfer
and more
Hope you earning well , see you in the next posts about serious money making
