      The Entrance Test

      Freelancing

      There is a huge market out there for people with knowledge or personnel skills that can work remotely. These skills such as programming, writing, website design, accountancy and graphic design are all in big demand. The reason for this demand is many companies often only require certain skillsets for one of work or projects so they go to freelancer sites such as Guru, eLance and oDesk to hire people with those skills.

      If you have any of those skills computer orientated, business or graphic design skills then you will find work will come pretty easily. There is of course competition but that is where your presentation and resume skills need to be polished up. The way these sites work is that employers will either post a job for freelancers’ to bid for, or search the database of freelance profiles to find what they are looking for and then contact the freelancer directly with an offer of work or invite them to bid.

      Building a Portfolio

      Before you start to bid it is crucial to build a quality portfolio that represents your skill sets. This can be a bit problematic if your skills are wide ranging say in many computer programming languages. However at least have some representations of your work in the portfolio as often a potential employer will simply pass you by if you do not.

      Sending Samples

      Be very suspicious of sending samples to prospective employers unless they contact you and ask you personally. Many times unscrupulous fake employers will advertise a job and demand that written samples on the similar subjects are submitted with the bid. Of course the job doesn’t exist and they are simply harvesting free content.

      How much can I make?

      On freelance sites the work varies dependent on skill sets however typically a writer can earn anything from $6 to $40 per 1000 words. If reasonably busy then around $1K -$2K dollars a month is obtainable.

      The bid Process

      The basic bid process unfortunately is where it gets a bid of a bad name for here it becomes a race to the bottom with everyone trying to outbid one another by placing lower and lower prices. This is just madness but it is understandable. One of the reasons it
