Nowadays freelancing has become an important means of earning money. We all want to make money. Since there are many ways to earn money through freelancing, many young people and students have become interested in freelancing. The problem is that many people are opening accounts in different freelance marketplaces without realizing it, many people think that freelancing is money and money! Don't think about its advantages / disadvantages. In today's episode, I will discuss the advantages / disadvantages of freelancing and what to look for when opening an account in any marketplace.
The benefits of freelancing
- One of the advantages of freelancing is that you can earn money by doing the work of your choice. writing or programming that you like so you can earn by working.
- If you work, you must work 10-5 hours in the office. Freelancing is not a problem for bosses, stress, waking up on time in the morning. Here you are your boss. Will work if desired. If you do not want to work! No one has anything to say.
- Since here you are independent. You can do a few things at once if you want. The more work pressure you can take, the more money you can earn. There is no fixed salary like job here. Income depends on how well you know and how much work pressure you can take.
- Since working with an outside company or customer, it creates a better idea of the outside world. Know the culture, history, etc. of different countries. Which increases the scope of your knowledge.
- You have to chat or video call with customers while working. Since English is an international language. So why not say how to chat or video call. You need to speak English. Since English is not our mother tongue, our English language also became a language. As well as talking while looking at the video call. Then it will be to your advantage to speak in front of future job interviews or many.
- Freelancing since you can sit at home. Then you can give more time to your family. The marital bond will be stronger. There is nothing different since it is called a holiday. If you want, you can come out with your family if you have less work pressure. You can go somewhere far away for a few days. Freelancers have a laptop and internet connection!
The disadvantages of freelancing
- A very competitive market. There are many to work with. Getting a job at first is a little difficult.
Solution: But if you have the skill, hard work and effort, you will definitely get the job. - Harmful to the body and eyes because you have to work in front of the computer for a long time.
Solution: Try not to sit continuously, you can take 5 minutes of walking or light exercise every 20 minutes. Then there will be problems. Use comfortable chairs to work while sitting side by side. - Your account may be banned at any time or you may not be able to get regular work.
Solution: If you have the skills and work portfolio, you can do another marketplace or remote job
How to adjust the profile in the marketplace?
You don't just have to open an account in the marketplace. Many things have to be made beautiful. You can compare your profile with any store. The better the decoration of a shop, the better the quality of the product, the more interested the customer will be in buying from that store. Also, decorate every part of your profile with great care. Here I will discuss some common issues of all marketplace profiles.
Username : This is a very important issue. I do not give much importance when opening an account. I give it a name of my choice. Username but cannot be changed. Try to use the same username on all social media. As a result, anyone can recognize you by looking at the username.
Profile Picture : This is as important as the username. If you do not have too many problems, try to give your picture. Use professional pictures. Professional does not mean that you have to dress up or wear expensive clothes. Even if you wear plain clothes, there is no problem. Make sure that your face is very well understood in the picture. And try to use the same picture on all social media. Even if the client can't remember your name, the chances of recognizing you by looking at the pictures are much higher.
Email You can use the same common email. It is better to open an account with this same email, open an account to withdraw money, etc. Then it will be convenient for you to verify.
Description: When opening an account in any marketplace, you have to write something about yourself. Try to present you in a concise way. So that when you wear it, you can easily get an idea about yourself.
Adding Skills: Of course you add your skills. There are ways to add skills in different ways in each marketplace. Only add skills that you are good at. Don't go for less that your full potential. Seeing the skill, the client will be confident to give you the job.
Portfolio : You don't just have to add skills. You need to have work samples as proof that you have that skill. Because no one will dare to trust you just by looking at the skill. There are some blogs I have written about portfolios for what a portfolio is, how to do it, what to keep.
Applying for a job: You don't have to have a skill or a portfolio. You need to apply for the job. This is the most difficult thing. The same job is available in each marketplace. Somewhere you have to send a buyer request and somewhere you have to bid. No matter what you do, there are some things to keep in mind before applying for a job. Read the work demand well. Read on to see if you can. Then you can add some of your feedback on how to do the work so that the quality of work is better. I can't do half, I can't do half. Don't forget to apply for such work. Apply for the job after being 100% sure. Failure to work well can be detrimental to your profile and can lead to problems getting jobs in the future.
Not just freelancing. Honesty is one of the ways to succeed in any endeavor. Tell the client as much as you can. Do not skip work by putting the client in danger by doing half work or in a hurry. Remember that a freelancer represents a country just as a player represents a country. Besides, they are playing an important role in the country's economy by earning foreign currency. So you have to be vigilant so that your mistake does not tarnish the image of the country.
