What is Freelancing?

Freelancing is a job that you can do under any person or organization. Freelancing means you can work from home online. You can earn a certain amount of money by working online in which you are skilled. We can say it as that by offering your services of skilled work online, you can generate certain amount of money, and this is known as Freelancing.

Usually Freelancers can get employment in different online markets. Moreover they can find online jobs on other websites as well, other than online markets.

Jobs are also available on various websites and to apply for those jobs you have to submit your CVs or you have to make your own portfolio about your skills and experience so that companies may know about you from that portfolio.

There are two kinds of people in the Market, one are those are who are offering their services and skills in the market and others are those who will get that skills of other person by paying them to establish their business.

Freelancer can make their own portfolio websites outside the Market place and there all the freelancers can get jobs according to their skills. Other than this, freelancers can also get jobs from different networking sites as well, like FaceBook, Linkedin, Pinterest, Instragram etc. by making their profiles on this platform and approach to those people who are dealing in freelancing category. Freelancer approach the companies directly to get jobs and after viewing their portfolio by that companies they may get the job according to their skills and experience.

The person who will hire you is your boss and when someone in the market contacts you for a job. It’s all up to you, that you can talk to them and decide how much they will pay for your work.

If you work on Fiverr, and you get you job in local market than, once the order is confirmed, a certain amount of money will be deposited to your account and you will get that money as soon as your work is completed.

Most of the time it has witness that you will find a person who will not pay you after completing your work, Although it is rarely seen. If you work on a popular website, they will deduct a small amount from your payment but if you work in the local market then you will get payment for what you are working for and no amount will be deduct from your account. That's why you can make a lot of money out of the market, but the most important thing is that if you are a skilled person than you have good work ethic, no matter where you are, your amount will never be deducted and the money will be handed over to you automatically.

Freelancing is a great way for students to make money online. In addition to education, you can learn a lot of things to make money, such as the way to open YouTube channel, how to post videos on YouTube Channel, how to create and run a Facebook page etc. if you get into this field than you will see that it is different from Fiverr, you will get different jobs on Fiverr because it is a part of Digital Marketing and if you want to make good career than you should make your expertise in Freelancing.

The trend of freelancing is also growing rapidly in Pakistan. Every year thousands of students go to university and they struggle a lot to get jobs, in which some of them become successful to get jobs but some of them remain unemployed. This is because the ratio of Educated Unemployed people is increasing day by day.

If students gets IT training with their studies, than they can avail opportunity of online Freelancing job, as a result they can become employed and it will not only ensure their livelihood, but also they will be able to earn a lot of foreign exchange in the country which will serve as the economic base of Pakistan.

In my opinion, the most important work that can be done in freelancing is Graphic Design. You can learn free Graphic Design courses on YouTube. This course is enough for you to do freelancing work, No matter what you do in freelancing; you need to know Graphic Design, if you can't do it, at least learn the basics skills.

 Who Can Do Freelancing?

"One of the biggest misconceptions about freelancing is that you sit at home and work will be offer to you. Whereas the fact is that you have to struggle and struggle hard to get work online.

If we go to online market place without any experience or skills than you can never be a successful person. This is because any client gives you negative feedback once, than no one else will hire you on that platform, so if you have a mindset, you can think out the box.

Now we will learn what the important things are for Freelancing:

What are the four conditions for freelancing?

1) Your laptop or desktop with internet connection

2) An Android smartphone

3) Basic English communication language

4) Your online presence (website, social profile)

 

It is not possible for a person to learn or to do everything. So you have to choose a specific title or Niche and do research on it and remain stable on that topic.

Remember that the freelancing is very competitive sector and you have to be expert in your skills to survive in this market. As far as you feel that you can do work in all skills than you are on a wrong path. You can never run in all directions, so make yourself expert in selected skills and work on them, than you will be successful in Freelancing sector.

Proficiency in English

You must have a good command in English because when you have a conversation with a client, you have to talk in English, you need to convince the client that you are the expert for this job, most of the time client may ask you several questions, which  you have to answer it into English.

One more important thing is that, the client wants to talk to you on Zoom or video call then if you were not able to answer his questions than you may loss that job. You must learn English language with your job as well because English language is not difficult to learn. It won't take long to learn, you just need to do hard work and consistency. Once you learn it, it will be useful for the rest of your life.

Be aware of Fraud and Deception

This is the most important point of the whole post. Read it very carefully and always keep the words in your mind. Now-a-days people are being deceived in various ways by showing the lure of freelancing and online income, so you have to be vigilant.

Another thing is that you can get alot of free Videos and Vlogs on YouTube for learning but before learning anything from them you have to verify that they are genuine and qualified instructor otherwise you will waste your time. You can't decide with conscience whether you are being misled or not, so check that person out before that how much he is expert in his field.
