How freelancing sites operates?

For Service providers: service providers have to sign up and make a profile at freelancing sites before they can start their online jobs career. It takes few minutes to sing up as a service provider. Your profile is a very important factor for service providers as many buyers prefer to see profiles of all service providers who place bid on their projects. So it is a good idea to not just fill your profile with random words. You should write in good details about your self,Online Jobs FAQs – Part 2 Articles write all your qualification, experience, few samples of your work is possible, your hobbies, the area of your expertise etc. Remember to enter only relevant and true information in your profile. Creating an attractive profile at a freelancing site is your first step in online jobs career.

After creating an account and profile, look for projects that you can do and then place a bid on them. I suggest you only look for the newest opened projects as it is not easy to win old projects when you are new and that you that have any feedback. Just open the main page of freelancing site and keep refreshing the page after every few minutes. Most of the times, projects are awarded to service providers in the first hour of that project being published. So your only chance is to wait for any new project and place there a bid before anyone else does.

And also remember to place bids of the lowest rates and always send a private Message to the creator (buyer) of that project. You don’t even have a 1% chance of wining a project if you don’t send a private message to the buyer. Online Jobs are all about convincing the other person via send text messages as there is no live face to face conversation. No body knows and cares about for whom he or she is working. So, the only way to increase your chances of wining a project is to send some decent private messages to the buyer. Try to impress him with anything you got. For example, if you are bidding for a Copywriting job, then send the buyer few samples of articles or press releases or any thing that you have written so that the buyer have a better idea about your writing style and writing abilities. But incase you haven’t yet written any thing, and then write few articles of about 300 to 500 words.

Double check articles for any kind of errors especially check for grammatical and spelling errors. Also, do your best while writing sample articles as your copywriting abilities will be judge via your sample articles. If possible, ask the buyer to give you some topic or keyword so that you can write a sample article. If difficult to get your very first project, so do what ever it takes to win it. Always remember to deliver work on time, never be late even few minutes as this can end up in trouble. So complete and deliver work before the deadline if possible.
