freelancing - how I do it

Getting a job done is very important, so before you get started, think about getting a job where you get to talk all the details and put it down on paper and work from there .

It is very important that you do not wake up with a problem when the client wants a quick change in the former plan, coming up with something totally different from what you talked about in the first place, not to mention the bigger problem when you have allready made part of the job .. that sucks !

Next, you need to check out the costs. “What costs ?!” you may say … well some freelance websites require one time join fee, or they ask for money per project bid, or percentage of the money you earn .

Search, Find Projects, Plan, Bid
Next you need to search for projects in your field of work. So you do a search and find the jobs that look promissing to you . A very important step, after reading the project’s info, is checking out the client .
Be very carefull who you work for ! Most design companies will only work with experienced freelancers, you should avoid projects posted by wird looking clients.

And also, you should not stick to only one project.

Now, before you bid, you need to plan the project . Think about the time and costs that the project would generate . Allways give yourself more time for work, and also bid a higher price then what you first choose, so that you can bid again later in case someone bids a lower price .

I hope i was of some help :)

We need more and more tools to make money ! Let’s get them, Let’s MAKE MORE MONEY !

How do people make money online ?

How do people make money online ?

A lot of people ask me this question, so I will try to tell you as much as I know about it .

The basic principle on the web, when we talk about making money with a website, is advertising and commisions .
People that have websites or blogs, besides the people that are selling a product or service allready online, think about monetising their website and they come up with this answers :

  1. Pay per click (PPC) adversiting - like AdSense and Adbrite and so many others
  2. Affiliate Marketing - Promoting products and services for a commision
  3. Direct ad spot sale

Offcourse, the people that make money online stay intouch with the latest keyword searches, search engine optimization, onsite optimization an so on .

Having a banner that will make you 3 cents is not really the most important think as TRAFFIC = The number of unique people that visit the website.
G
etting people on the website is a real job and anyone that works at building traffic should know the most important things :

  1. Get indexed by major search engines
  2. Create UNIQUE content
  3. Know what keywords are going to be used
  4. GET BACKLINKS …. A LOT !
  5. Advertise for more clicks
  6. Start a Reciprocal Links page

This should do it . :)

” More traffic means more money ! “

On the other hand, there are the people that earn money online without a website or a blog .

So how do they do it ?!
Well, if you have a skill with the computer, you are allready there ! .
People make money online with freelance services . Yup, freelance is a very powerfull engine that could drive you to financial freedom one day .

So with any desing skills, coding skills, writing skills [...], you can be hired as a proffesional, on one of the freelancing sites .

coming back with more soon :).

Keep on making those online money ;)
