Do you have some apprehension about your marketability? Do you wonder if you
have what it takes to do freelance work?
The best part of freelancing is that there is a niche for almost every skill. If you
are good the demands upon your skills will be greater than the supply you can
produce. Through the use of this book, you can identify your skills and make the
most of them for the greatest profit.
Why is freelancing so lucrative? Companies are outsourcing more and more
work every year. It is much more cost effective for a company to outsource work
to a free agent than to pay and maintain one full time employee. A company can
find the right professional for a particular project rather than relying on a few
employees who may not have the expertise needed to complete the project.
The people who are making money are those who market themselves and
develop working relationships with companies and long term clients.
Who are these freelancers? How do they become rich? How do they find their
clients?
In future chapters you will discover how to make contacts and find freelance jobs.
The immediate answer is technology. The days of typewriters are gone. The
days of waiting for a response from a client by postal service are gone.
We live in a world of modern technology. Documents can be written, saved, and
transmitted over thousands of miles in just a few short seconds. Words can reach
thousands of people instantly. There is email now. In fact, you can chat online
with clients on a real time basis. Information is easy to find, store, and send.
That is why you can live anywhere you like as a freelancer. You are not confined
to any one geographical address as long as some type of internet access is
available.
Another advantage of modern technology is the ability for freelancers and their
clients to find one another. There are many websites where a client can post a
job and a freelancer can instantly respond to it.
Again, geographical distance is not an issue. A client can be in Japan and the
freelancer can be in sunny Florida and they can have a successful partnership
agreement. The answer to global connections and opportunities is technology
This allows a freelancer to work for clients around the world. This opens a
multitude of opportunities to find freelance work.
What sort of niches are out there for freelancers?
The possibilities are endless
.
I have listed some of the more common niches. They are:
Writing
Web design
Voice-Over Work
Video and Screen Capture Video
Research
Help Desk Management
Engineering and Architecture
Marketing
Advertising
Legal and Paralegal
Translation
Training and Development
Graphic Design and Art
Software Development and Programming
Management
Finance
This is by no means a complete list. Rather it is a general overview of common
areas in which people freelance.
Find your own niche and go with it
. The
advantage of finding yours in the areas mentioned is that there are thousands of
jobs posted everyday.
People who have created a full time prosperous career in freelancing did not
jump into it blindfolded. They had a plan. They executed the plan and now they
are reaping the benefits.
The plan started with research. Reading this course is a good beginning. Next,
start looking around. See how many freelance jobs in your area of expertise are
on the internet.
Some of these sites charge for access; others are more like bulletin boards. Look
around and see if your skills match with any of the jobs posted. Even if you don't
see many jobs requiring your skills, don't give up. It could mean that your niche is
in an untapped area. If so, Congratulations! This means that you will have a lot
less competition.
When you find various jobs that match your skills, look at how much these jobs
pay. The amounts will vary. As clients become familiar with your work and you
build trust and a reputation, you can begin to demand more money.
Many sites require you to bid on projects. The stipulation is that you have to pay
some sort of commission to the company who owns the site. Take some time
and look at these sites. You may also use a search engine such as Google and
use the key word "freelance" or you may add some specific skills to narrow your
search such as "freelance writing".
