Work as a freelancer, a way to some serious earning
If you want to earn money without paying any money you have a option to work as a freelancer. To get work at freelance sites you need to invest some time, that is, you have to spend few hours each day in order to get work quickly. The first step was to find as many sources of freelance writing jobs as possible. This step is pretty easy. There are plenty around and it’s simply a case of bookmarking your favorite ones in the links folder for easy retrieval later on.
You have three main types of site to choose from:
• Sites which you need to join as a member in order to bid on writing work
• Sites which you can join and post work on for others to buy
Sites which display classified ads and listings for online writing
, I will explain how you can find data entry and copywriting work at these sites.
Honestly, it’s really difficult to get your first job.. You will see many projects, listed every where. Do not worry; just register at this site. REMEMBER to professional looking information in all fields of your profile; people will see your profile before they give you any work. Winning your first project is the most difficult part :)
After you create your profile, open the main page of the site. Now scroll down, until you see a heading called “Newest projects”.
Here you will see a list of newest opened projects that you can win. I highly recommend that if you are not a programmer or any other field expert, then you do data entry and copywriting jobs. Look for jobs under the “Newest projects” section. If you find one, click on it.
Then click on “Place a Bid” and then enter the lowest price available for that project. you are new here. So you have to do work for the lowest price.
How can you get a project for high rates when there are many other people applying for the same project and they have great ratings too, where you don’t even have one rating. So, go for the lowest price. After you place a bid, go back to the project description page and look for a small icon called PM (Private Message). PM is the key factor for wining a project.
Now click on it, and send a message to the creator of the project and tell him that you are new but you can do an excellent job and that you will do it for the lowest price that he wants to pay for that project. After you send the PM, wait for the reply, if you get a reply then there is a good chance of wining that project. Your Online Jobs career will start when you win your first project.
Open the PM box to see what the buyer replied and act accordingly. Always remember to send a PM to the creator of the project after you place a bid there. Sending PM is very important.
NEVER send your contact information, that is, email, phone number etc, via PM.
Don’t open any other page (Use only the main page) to see the latest Data entry, copywriting etc projects, because it’s very hard to get the old projects, keep the main page opened and scroll down to the “Newest Projects” page and keep refreshing at this position to become the first one to catch the newest projects
