Freelancing could be a fantastic job as well as a way to earn yourself some money. So many people are earning money online from freelancing. How this is happening is what I wouldn’t assume you know already. As a freelancer, you got to offer your services to be paid. Your services could include Writing, Translation, Web design, Graphics design, video and animation, music, Marketing and data entry, programming, Architecture, Engineering, Accounting, Administrative support, and Website development; just basically anything that you’re really good at doing.
Guru. com, freelancer. com, upwork. com, fiverr. com, ifreelance. com, peopleperhour. com, problogger. com – are just some few freelancing sites that you can earn from.
So specifically, how you earn on these sites is to sign up on any of the above sites; build your profile with a professional touch; and use the job posting section. Most of these sites require that you place bids on the available jobs after which you might land the job for yourself. The amount the client (the person offering you the job) is willing to offer usually accompanies the job.
You could work from anywhere – and that’s the freedom associated with freelancing. You are in control as you aren’t under the authority or dictate of any boss as in your office work. You could make freelancing a part time or a full time job. Anybody – provided you’re excellently skilled – can be a freelancer… and get paid. Nothing has to be a barrier.
It actually has something to do with you doing that very thing you know how to do best and getting paid for it. You know the joy, the self-fulfillment that shoots out from you knowing you’ll be doing the love of your life for a very long time.
Most people I know who started freelancing a long time ago are still freelancing today. A whole lot of these folks don’t seem to be quitting freelancing any soon. Some of them have the house they have built to show for an 8 years freelancing business. Some others have bought cars and are also planning on buying another. And the others, they are no longer visiting those freelance websites. Why then? Is that that they’ve abandoned freelancing for something else? No. Freelancing was just a platform. They got hooked up by just one random Client who turned out to be their regular Client.
And for the payment aspect, something I know you’ve been expecting a discourse about: I understand that payment options like PayPal may not be available in some countries. This used to be a barrier sometimes ago but not anymore. You can now work and get paid as a freelancer irrespective of whether PayPal accepts your country or not. And you’ll receive such funds in your country and in your country’s denomination.
I do know that there are now alternative payment options, and more warming up in the background, but I’ve found payoneer a convenient payment option (this is no advertisement, and I stand nothing to gain from this information). Actually you’ll need visit their site and be sure you’ve thoroughly read and understood their terms of service. Thereupon you’ll sign up for a free ATM MasterCard. Do ensure to correctly supply all the information that will be required of you as your card will be shipped to the address you provide during registration. Collect your card between the days as will be forwarded to the email you provided at registration, activate it, withdraw your funds from whichever freelance website you have it in, and withdraw it in your home country.
