Freelancing will pay the bills

Hiring freelancers is cheap. You can outsource most of your work with just a few dollars and a very open mind.There are hundreds of freelancing websites where you can find freelancers willing to do high quality work for very cheap prices.

It hasn’t been that long since I began to discover the wonders of freelancing work. Freelancing is one the greatest inventions ever. Freelancing is great, when you are 15 like I am, no one in their right mind will hire you. But online, you can be anyone you want and with an inspirational well written resume you can get anyone to hire you.

Just recently yesterday, I joined a brand new freelancing website that I had never heard about, I applied for some projects about 10 of them and I offered very cheap prices, while some people were charging $300 I was charging $20, I am creating my own little freelancing Walmart.

Anyway, just minutes after I started placing bids, I got a person interested that needed some SEO work done in their site. The work didn’t really take long to do about an hour and a half, since it was a small site, I did my best with the work I did and the person could not be more pleased. I even did some extra work for them and the person gave me a 10 out of 10 review.

I earned $25 dollars for just an hour and a half of work. And guess what, if that person would have contacted me through this blog and asked me to do it for them, I wouldn’t have charged them a penny.

Doing SEO work and basically anything tech related, is something I love to do. I don’t care if it’s writing articles, coding a script, or redesigning a website. I love doing stuff related to that because when I do work like that I always end up learning something new.

So to keep on going with the story, just about 2 hours ago I applied for some work with a person that needed an affiliate landing page. The person even included the image all I have to do is code it. I charged that person $20 dollars and I am currently building their site. And as always, I’m gonna do some extra work for them, I’ll do SEO to their site, submit their site to search engines, add it to bookmarking services and even do some competition research.

I am hoping that this work will be another successful one and I’ll keep you guys posted.

If I keep this up I’ll be making about $40 dollars a day… that’s $1,200 dollars a month for something that I love doing. Not many people get to say that. And in honor of my recent freelancing success I’ll be making a post possibly tomorrow about how freelancing can help your business grow.

    Sorry Keving but that site will stay completely unmentioned for a while. That’s one of the sites you won’t ever see me give link love to.

    You don’t really need any expertise I mean I know PHP, HTML, Javascript, CSS, AJAX, XHTML, SEO, English, Spanish, French.

    You can get any job by just writing a good resume and charming your buyers.

    I’ve been doing a few coding projects every month for awhile now on one of those freelancing websites and have over 120 jobs completed and have made a nice little side income out of it. It’s definitely worth it if you have some programming or SEO knowledge.

    @Eze: A long time ago, I learn by practicing.
    @ChiQ: Thanks! Happy to be here lol.
    @Erik: Yeah I don’t why people even pay for SEO as most times the methods don’t work simply because there is too much competition already.

    Freelancing is a good thing to do in order to get a foothold, but it’s not where the real money is at. It’s great when you are younger to pick up some cash here and there, but once you get a bit more of a reputation the real money comes from your ability to charge a premium and still get people requesting your service in high demand.
