Working Freelance jobs on the web? |
I'm very interested in working as a freelancer for site like guru.com or elance.com. What is a good way to compete with so many people? I'm very good at designing and building websites but would I need to setup a portfolio for my self to be competitive? Are there any other suggestions? Thanks If you want to make money online and wanted to work from home, go for freelancing jobs. They are only one, that will pay you and its free to become a freelancer. The Internet has opened up many freelance opportunities, expanding markets and helping to build it into one of the largest economic segments for many economies. You dont need to pay to get the job. Development for freelancing has been especially high for software development, website design, information technology, and business documentation. Freelance practice varies greatly. Some require clients to sign written contracts<!--while others may perform work based on verbal agreements, perhaps enforceable through the very nature of the work. Some freelancers may provide written estimates of work and request deposits from clients. Get more information on the website. You can almost find any freelance job you want. http://freelancejobs.awardspace.com/... Payment for freelance work also varies greatly. Freelancers may charge by the day or hour, or on a per-project basis. Instead of a flat rate or fee, some consultants have adopted a value-based pricing method-->based on the perceived value of the results to the client. By custom, payment arrangements may be upfront, percentage upfront, or upon completion. For more complex projects, a contract may set a payment schedule based on milestones or outcomes. I use guru.com and have found it's works great. What you need to do is to build your portfolio along with your resume and other items that "sell" you above others. You'll need text descriptions as well - e-commerce sites, informative sites, service selling sites. Get a list of what they call solutions - websites you've built, others you've assisted building, what languages you understand, etc...... Keep it compiled for any potential employer to preview when you bid on jobs. |
