Freelancing: How to

Step 2: Visit a Freelancing Website and open an Account


This Step is the easiest one which you can do effortlessly. I’ll disclose some of the favorite freelancing websites url where buyer and provider love to work as those sites are widely popular for their keeping records both for buyer and provider in most profesional way. But you have to keep in mind that before sign up with any one of those, I aware you that it is not easy for any one finding and completing jobs without properly prepared to do so. Here are the 3 main freelancing websites:


http://www.odesk.com/
http://www.getafreelancer.com/
http://www.elance.com/




Most of you already have heard of them (As they are so popular), or you might be hearing about them for the first time. My advice is that to you first visit these sites and spend some times looking at each of them. After you’ve gone through these websites, get an account with them. You can create an account for FREE, and all it takes is filling up a simple form. Be sure to create your account as a freelance: Provider; Not a Buyer.


Before you start please look at some of the lackings and restrictions of these sites for better understandings:


1) Odesk - With Odesk you will get benefit of maximum 20 jobs limits as you taking as low as 4 free aptitude test. The test result you can make private or public(View by all). You can opted how many test you can take, as much as you can from thier test centre will create a better frofile status and buyer can learn about your expertise. Keep in mind you have to compulsarily take the odesk readyness test and pass it. Other wise you can not apply for jobs. To know more about it visit: http://www.odesk.com/


2) GetAFreelancer – With getafreelancer you will get a limit of 15 bids a month. Although the bid limit carries forward to the next month. Moreover, there is also a Gold Members scheme, which is an upgrade to current free account. Find here for more on this : http://www.getafreelancer.com/


3) Elance – There are 3 free connects (tokens for bidding on projects) in every month. You can go for more, but the concepts behind our discussion is to earn without investing anything. To learn more about this site, you have to go to : http://www.elance.com/




As all of the above freelancing website follows same methodology with little bit difference from each other you find that in the way as noted below:
Buyers post projects/jobs for freelancers -> Freelancers bid on those projects -> Buyer interviews the freelancer ->Choose the provider ( based on expertise and achievements discussed later) -> Freelancer delivered the project with in time frame -> Made payments to provider -> Happy finishing


As all of the sites has the same way of sign up process and terms of reference are same I'll discuss one which I prefer to work with and it is Odesk . So, haven't you created your free accounts with these freelance websites yet? If not, then get hurry to do so, and take a long breath................

 We will get back to this discussion after getting refreshed on tomorrow morning, and by this time think youself to get your profile ready. Don't worry if you can't complete confidently I am here to assist you. Till then good bye..............
