Taking Advantage of the Freelance Work Craze

Here are some of the hottest freelance work websites on the web, I have has positive feedback from all of them and I highly recommend becoming a member and submitting your resume and skill set. It doesn’t matter what field you are in, there will probably be a project right up your alley. Once you reach these sites, don’t let the new terminology confuse you or deter you from signing up and getting your resume out there. Be persistent and continually update your resume when you acquire my skills and experience. As a Freelance Professional, you are offering “services”, you DO NOT need to own a business or be licensed. You simply need to be able to perform the job you are bidding on!

Now it takes more then just signing up as a member, it is crucial to submit your skill set and let the employer know you are the perfect person for the project. Freelance jobs are called “projects”, because they are done on a deadline and for a certain amount of time (usually with a contract). You will most likely be working on a 1099 basis, and it is very possible for the employer to keep hiring you for future projects! So, it is pertinent that your skills reflect your abilities. I review MANY resumes and 75% of them are done so poorly, I am amazed they would even send it out to an employer.

Once you have submitted and knockout portfolio, you can now in complete confidence “bid” on the projects. The word ”biding” confuses most people. No, you are not paying to get the job, you are offering the employer a price you are willing to accept for the completed project. Example: MMM Inc. needs someone to retype up an employee manual within 10 days. MMM Inc. is offering someone $200.00 to complete the project. Here is where the bidding comes into play, you as the Free Agent are free to bid on the project, you might come up with a bid like this, ” I can do that for $150.00 and have it done in 6 days!” The better the bid, the more likely you are to get the job. But, don’t overdue it! Be sure you can have it done in 6 days and it is worth the $150.00 to complete the job.
There are millions of projects out there, and there are millions of happy and successful Freelancers working on them right from the comfort of their home office! So, if you are tired of searching for an employer to hire you in the traditional way and allow you to work from home, try this route out and see how it goes. Who knows, you might be working from home sooner then you think and joining the freelance work craze!!
