Finding freelance work, jobs and projects online is not hard, when compared to finding work in the brick and mortar world. But it is not as easy as the pitches you see posted in the same places that led you to click the link that lead you here. When i say freelance jobs i mean real freelance jobs and projects where you can actually make money enough to live on until you find real work or supplement your income if you already have a steady real world paying gig. And actually find freelance jobs that really pay instead of up and move away come payday is another story completely.
If you are blessed enough to find an honest freelance outlet as opposed to seeking out individual freelance jobs by spending hours and hours networking and passing out business cards and bull in inexpensive cafe's and lunch meetings with potential clients you are really in heaven. The money may not be as good as it once was before most of the jobs went to pakochinastan and other counties where freelancers work for peanuts but it is still an excellent way to use your talents and spare time to accumulate a nice little bit of money is you stay at it and do good work. The truth of freelancing is that the better you are at it the more customers you get through the awesome phenomenon of word of mouth. Remember every project manager and company wants to save money, hell every human over the age of 10 does. In simple words freelancers are turning into the migrant farm workers of southwestern America and finding anything other than decent paying freelance jobs and projects is getting harder and harder by the day.
The best advice i can give any good freelancer is to find a huge, reputable online freelance resource where you can bid for and get freelance jobs and projects, you have to go wher the jobs are. They most definitely will not come a knocking on your door, at least not until you build up a decent "regulars" list by doing good freelance work for clients. I try hard here on this blog to supply just the right feeds, information and links to help the up and comming and veteran freelancer find the jobs he needs to support themselves or get extra income by freelancing. The first tip is make use of the posts, articles, feeds and information i make available here and the second tip will fall into place automatically. The second tip is join a freelancer website. When you find a job here that you are skilled enough to perform just sign up where the link leads you and that will be taken care of , again automatically.
The third and last tip is to build a hell of a profile page when ever you do find that you like a freelancer website, this more than anything gets you the jobs you bid on. When you are ready for the best moonlighting or full-time freelance jobs and projects just click the "sign up" image at the top of the sidebar of this blog.
Thank you for using and/or visiting my blog and i hope i have helped. D. Harris
