-How freelancing can help your business.
In my previous post, “Freelance can help you pay the bills” I said I’d never post this link. But since it might help some people as much as it has helped me then why not!
So here it is. The best freelance program that you will ever join.

When you go to the website you can join as a buyer, or as a programmer. Scriptlance is great place where webmasters can interact with each other and make business with each other.

-Joining a Freelancing Website.
There are hundreds of projects posted daily in Scriptlance. Many which are very easy to complete. Some of the easiest ones are SEO jobs and WordPress template edits. But Now that you know the site, I don’t want you joining and bidding on a program just because you think you can do it. You need to make sure that you know what you are doing because people rate your work here, and once your reputation hits a low, it’s hard as hell to get it back.

I’ve been saving to buy a phone, and this week I’ve made over $50 working for different people. Now you have to remember that the work I did is actually worth about $250 but since I’m new in the place, I need to get my reputation up. I also want that phone bad so I’m working myself out and doing as many jobs as I can for as low as possible. Even if it only means making a $5 dollar profit out of something that actually costs $50.

Now that you’ve read this, you might be thinking “Germz, what does this have to do with my business?” Well the answer is simple. You can exploit people like me and make them work a ton and save yourself a lot of money.

The first project that I did On the freelance place was a very small SEO job, it took me about an hour to get everything set up and uploaded. Everyone else was charging over $300 dollars, I charged $25. I obviously won, but the only reason I won was because I charged so low since my reputation was low.

The person could not be more happy with my work. That’s because I went all out and not only did SEO jobs for them but I submitted their site to directories but submitted their site to social bookmarking sites just to give them a small jump in traffic.

Currently I’ve only done 4 jobs in there, I’m currently working on my 5th one which is just a simple template edit and the person will pay me $25 dollars for something I can do in my sleep.

Freelancing saves time, and money. For non tech savvy people it might take hours of work to do a simple script but to people that have studied scripts for years it’s just child’s play.

Let’s say you earn an average of $15 dollars an hour, and you have a WordPress template in need of an edit. Would you rather waste 4 hours of your time searching how to fix it, when you can pay someone like me to do it for you in minutes for only $20 dollars or less? Plus you are not counting the headache that you will get after seeing the long lines of code that look like pure gibberish to you. The headache will cost you an extra $5 dollars for that advil pill that you’ll have to buy.

-Creating a blog made by freelancers.
You can also make money by creating a blog network. If you spend $500 dollars in prizes, let’s say a flip mino, an ipod nano, and a big monitor, plus some crappy e-book with a nice sales page, and some sponsor templates, with the right amount of advertising and marketing you can get yourself at least 500 subscribers in a month.

Now let’s say your blog is about Gaming. You can pay professional freelancer writers that know crap about gaming and tell them to write articles about gaming. Trust me, they’ll write the best damn articles your eyes have seen. If you were to tell me to write a 1000 page article about the physics of nuclear fission and pay me the right amount of money I’ll write an article so long and complicated that will make any college professor to raise his eyebrows. That’s how desperate freelancers are, we are willing to do anything for money.

-Why freelancers are cheap and why the quality of their work is amazing.
I remember last year, never doing my homework on time. I always waited for the last minute to finish it. The thing that stands out the most was a History homework my teacher gave me. She said to write something about the Plebeians in Greece (Or Rome…?) but anyway, you were supposed to act like you were a Plebeian in that time and you were sending a letter to a friend. I didn’t even know what the hell a Plebeian was, but anyway I wrote the letter. I just wrote crap like “How are the columns from your new temple standing… last time I saw you were just placing the statues.” but anyway I didn’t know a thing about what I was writing, but I still handed it to the teacher. The month after that the teacher told “That was the best article that I’ve read. Do you mind if I use it as an example for the students coming in next year?” I said sure!

The point of my short story, is to tell you that freelance writers can make any article look like it was written by someone that has study that specific subject. And we usually charge really low. About $2 dollars per 500 word article.

So let’s say you want 100 articles (which is a lot) you’d only end up spending about $200 dollars for enough articles for more than 3 months. If you do all of that in a month, people will think that your blog is very interesting and people are reading it because they like your content, but what they don’t know is that the only reason why it’s growing so fast is because of the content and the articles.

If someone sees a massive amount of growth on a blog, they’ll want to buy that blog. You can end up selling that blog for over $1000 dollars by only spending $700 dollars. That’s a $300 dollar profit with no work at all because you leave it all to your freelancers.

So if you want your business to grow, hire a freelancer and since I just told you this why Don’t you hire me?
