Freelancing
1:
Determine what you are
good at, commit to a life of freelancing, and sign up for a Freelancer.com
account. Signing up and
working at Freelancer.com is absolutely free, but we also have membership
upgrades that will greatly help you to earn more, such as getting more bids per
month, and a list of skills. Certain projects require your profile to reflect
certain skills, so the more you have listed, the more opportunities you get.
2:
Set up your profile. We can't stress the need for a complete
and presentable profile enough. It showcases your personality, resume,
portfolio, and skills all rolled into one. It's also an important tool for
persuasion: an employer may completely base his judgment on whether to hire you
or not by how well you present yourself. Get tips here:

Find projects and start
bidding. Earning money at Freelancer.com actually
begins here. Hundreds of projects and contests in different categories are
posted each day. Find the ones you want to work on by regularly checking
the jobs, In the jobs page, you'll see suitable projects open for bidding.
For contests, you simply submit an entry.
There are over 750 work categories in the Jobs page, from Web
development and writing, to marketing and accounting. Certainly, a job that
matches your skills is listed here. Before placing your bid, make sure to write
a compelling reason why the employer should pick you over everyone else. Not
sure how the bidding process works? No problem, we have a step-by-step bidding
guide here.

Work.
This might be the hardest but most rewarding step. Before
starting work, make sure that both you and the employer are aligned in terms of
project scope, deadlines, and Milestone Payments so there will be no issues
along the way. You may want to have a signed agreement in place to seal the
deal. All must be clear between you and the employer before you jump the gun –
you may be too excited to start working, but keep calm and focus.
Once the job is awarded, make sure you impress your employer by
being consistent when it comes to timeline, budget, and communication. Use the
built-in chatbox to converse easier,

Get paid and earn
five-star feedback. Once
you get paid, you can withdraw your money via PayPal Wire Transfer,
Moneybookers, or your nominated local bank account (works through our Express
Withdrawal System). Also, always aim for five-star feedback – the accumulation
of great, quality feedback is a great addition to your portfolio.
