Introduction
Even though online earning comes with a host of benefits, such as greater
flexibility, working from home, and independence from a boss or manager, it can
also come with some downsides, like being your boss and dealing with clients.
Freelancers have less regular and predictable earnings than employees who get
fixed monthly salaries. They also have to spend their own money on tools and
equipment, which might result in lower take-home pay than they'd receive as
employees.
But all these challenges don't mean that you should give up on online earning;
instead, you should find ways to make more money as a freelancer! However,
this can be challenging because most of your expenses are upfront costs rather
than monthly wages. Earning more of it as a freelancer isn't always easy, but
there are some tricks that you can use to increase your profits. How can you
make more money as a freelancer? Keep reading to know more!
Research
As a freelancer, you always seek ways to maximize your earnings. Here are
seven essential tips to help you earn more money:
1) Build your portfolio - If you can show prospective clients what you've done in
the past, they'll be more likely to trust that you can do the job they're hiring
for and hire you.
2) Research what's trending - Once you know what skills and expertise people
need, search on sites like Upwork or Fiverr for jobs related to those skills.
3) App for online earning - Use apps like Uber and Lyft to make extra cash
driving part-time or delivering food with UberEATS.
4) Get creative with your expenses - You can save a lot of money by asking
friends if they want to share rides with you, using public transportation instead
of renting a car when possible, getting lunch at home instead of going out, etc.
5) Become an expert - There is no substitute for experience. The more you
work, the better you get.
6) Look into tax credits - Depending on where you live, freelancers may have
deductions or credits depending on their income level and other factors.
7) Follow through with contracts - Clients are much less likely to not pay after
completing a project if they signed a contract before starting it

much a company or a client is willing to pay you. The client might also have a
fixed budget for the project, but you can suggest to them to increase their
budget and hire you for higher rates. However, this is easier said than done
because clients are often reluctant to do this. So, what are some ways to raise
your rates?
• First, understand why you should raise your rates. You might feel
overwhelmed with the idea of having to raise your rates, thinking that
clients won't want to pay extra or they won't hire you again because of it.
But don't worry! You should never feel obligated to work for a lower rate
just because you've always done so in the past. You deserve to earn more
for the quality work you do as a freelancer. So, why should you raise your
rates? Here are some reasons why you should:
• Online earning is your full-time job. Unlike employees who get paid a fixed
salary, freelancers only make it when working on projects. After every
project, you must find a new client and negotiate with them for a new
rate. This can be time-consuming, so you might struggle to find new
clients.
• The cost of living is increasing. You might have earned the same rate even
when working as an employee. But now that you are a freelancer, the cost
of living has increased, and you might not earn enough to sustain yourself.
• Clients' expectations have increased. Clients expect to pay less while
expecting more from freelancers. This is because they are usually
operating on a tight budget.
• You've gained experience. Whenever you work on a project, you learn and
develop new skills. You might have gained enough expertise to charge
higher rates now.
• You've honed your negotiation skills. This might sound contradictory to
the advice above, but negotiating for a higher rate is never easy. You
might have lost some clients after trying to negotiate for higher rates.
