Websites to Work as Freelancer !!!

In my view selecting a right website in the beginning for working as freelancer and start making money online is most important thing of all. There are many (I say hundreds or thousands) out there. Few of the biggest names in the industry are

Odesk.com

One of the biggest website for freelancer available on internet. On this website most of the work is available on hourly basis (Odesk.com provides its own software to track the record of the number of hours spent working) but also have jobs paid on project basis. By the time I am writing more than 76 Million Dollars are earned by the providers on this website.

New providers can build reputation by taking tests available on odesk.com. It is recommended to pas as many test as possible to build a reputation for yourself.

Elance.com

Elance.com is also a giant in the freelancing world. The best part of this website is there is no limit for you to apply on number of projects per month like on other websites available on internet. You can apply for as many jobs as you want per month.

By the time I am writing about 2 million Dollars ($ 20,000,000) are earned by freelancers through this website and the good part is there are way less provider than odesk.com on this website. That means low competition higher and chances of success.

Getafreelancer.com

Biggest websites for freelancers and I say best as this website has more room for new comers than any other website available on internet. On average more than 1000, projects are posted daily on this website with a great room for newbies. Specially projects for less skilled users who can handle only simple data entry task (I myself once made $500 in a month at GAF With my skills near to zero).

Mturk.com

Most amazing website I ever came across on internet for beginners who are willing to make some money online but don’t know where to start and are not able to find right opportunity. Mturk.com is backed by amazon.com on this website you don’t have to apply for a job and then wait and go through the process of interviewing. You look for a job you like (Called HIT) and start working and get paid (Simple).

The only drawback so far I noticed is that it only pays cash to the residents of United States and India but people from other countries may also work and get money in their amazon.com account. You can shop with that money or even can sell that account online (You have to be resource full) and receive money in cash.

Limeexchange.com

Limeexchange.com is also one of the emerging freelancing website with a very cool and nice paid affiliate program & hundreds of projects for providers.

There are other thousands of freelancing websites out there like

What is a Freelancing?

A freelancer is a person who is self employed. Freelance work is used in many different professions, but most commonly a freelancer works in the fields of writing and editing, photography, web design, graphic arts, or computer programming. In any given profession, freelancers sell or contract their work to a client rather than being employed by a business.

A freelancer’s career commonly begins with a business or agency at which the freelancer gains experience and contacts in a particular field. Often, talented freelance professionals leave their place of employment because their services are in great demand and they can receive better pay as a freelancer. A freelancer can work at home, in the community, or at their client’s place of business.

Businesses find many advantages in using freelancers. A business that needs particular work done, such as copywriting, can use the services of the writer only as needed. This is ideal when the business requires sporadic work or a one time project. The company is not obligated to provide steady work as it would be for a full time employee. Hiring a freelancer is also economical for a business because the business does not have to provide benefits such as health insurance, personal and sick days, or retirement benefits.

There are also many advantages for a freelancer. A person who is self employed can usually choose their own work schedule. Income may be greater than when working for an employer. A freelancer is his or her own boss and has the freedom to work independently, usually from the comfort of home. Freelancers also have the opportunity to pick and choose which jobs are of interest.

The down side to being a freelancer is that one must keep track of one’s own books. This requires a lot of self discipline in order to fulfill tax requirements, time management and health and retirement factors. Another disadvantage is that it may be difficult to maintain a steady stream of work. A freelancer is responsible for finding and winning projects. Sometimes, convincing a client to hire a particular freelancer can be a job in itself.

There are many websites that offer to connect clients with a freelancer. These services often have many freelancers who bid on particular projects that clients post. Other services simply post projects and allow freelancers to submit a resume and samples of previous work. A freelancer often can find projects through word of mouth, from a former employer, or from classified ads in print as well as on the web.
