You are trying get some jobs from online marketplace and wish to be a freelancer ?
Like from #Upwork, #fiverr, #freelencers, #99designs, #toptal, #weworkremotely, #dribbble , #startupers, #authenticjobs #gigster #folyo, #creativemarket, #clarity, #behance, #guru, #peopleperhour, #smashingjobs etc?
Taking many courses to learn how to get the first job?
Some people/company promising you to give the training and the first job ??
You are in a kind of a trap !
They will do everything but might not just give you these points even though you paid them a hefty amount !
Either they don’t know or they intentionally ignores these !
Only a few steps will give you the first job, maybe not in the quickest time, but once you hit it, you will have a very good ground already making and don’t have to look back Insha-Allah.
1. Pick 1 category from the job sites you might feel most interested in. Also, check if that category has enough work recently offered. Priority is what is your interest, then the work availability!
2. Learn the basics fast in that category.
3. Search for similar job and check descriptions closely to understand what kind of work people are offering and practice yourself with those that you can serve those.
4. After 4-8 weeks, spending a minimum of 4 hours a day, you should get some job requirements for those 60-70 % matches with your capability. Start doing those even before you contact the buyer.
5. Complete that as soon as you can. Don’t panic. Double-check with requirements to be confirmed if you did what the buyer was looking for. If possible make it checked by someone else before you share it with the buyer.
Make it available that anyone can check.
6. Then contact the buyer saying,
” Hi, I think I did 60-70% of your project work already.
Can you please check if that is what you are looking for ?”
BOOM !
90% chance you will get a reply on that !
Most of the freelancers even don’t get a response as their profile is new compared to the 10s of other bids!
To be successful in #freelancing, You have to have #patience, #honesty, #tenacity and #proactively #timely #communication (English) !
Good Luck.
Let me know if you have any questions.
