How to Start an Online Freelance Business with Almost Nothing

How to Start an Online Freelance Business with Almost Nothing

When I was completed my B.Sc (computer science) then I wanted to become a IT administrator but after completing MCA , my mind went to become a business administrator. After that I joined North Bengal University for MBA in advertising management and got placed as regional manager in Hindustan Unilever Limited but I had left the job with in 1+ years. Working in a multinational company I had got lots of experience to become a freelancer to earn my bread & butter. Starting an online business can seem like a grand, daunting task. But it’s not as hard as you might think.

How to Start an Online Freelance Business

In this post, I’m going to show you how anyone reading this can start an online business where they can make hundreds to thousands of dollars a month or more right away. You don’t need an investor, you don’t need a team, you just need you and a few hours of your time. Everyone can do it.

Step 1: Free up 1-2 hours per day for your new freelance business

If your excuse is that you don’t have any time, make time. Instead of watching trashy reality TV shows, focus on your new online business instead.

If you spend hours a day browsing Facebook, Instagram – cut your social media addiction in half and spend that found time in your new business.

The point is, you can always find time. We all have the same amount of time, 24 hours in a day. There’s more than likely something you are doing that you could instead invest that time into an online business.

Step 2: Pick a category to freelance in

Here are a few ideas:

• Writing articles/content
• Graphic design
• Coding/programming
• Virtual assisting
• Copywriting
• Social media posting/marketing
• Online marketing
• Search engine optimization/link building
• Entry level accounting/book-keeping
• Data entry/spreadsheet work

…and countless others

Keep in mind that you don’t need to be an expert, yet. You will charge entry level prices for entry level work. You can start from the bottom and charge just a minimal price. Then as you get more skills you can raise the price. Just about anyone reading this can do basic tasks in all of the above.

Don’t be one of those people that says they can’t sell article writing services because they aren’t an expert. If you had an English class ever in your life you have the skills to at least charge $5 an article. Nobody is expecting gold for $5. They are expecting bronze at best. And in time you will be able to deliver gold and charge gold prices.

To get more of an idea of what kind of services you can market online easily, check out these  freelance sites:

• Upwork.com
• Elance.com
• Fiverr.com
• Freelancer.com
• Guru.com
• seoclerks
• gigbucks.com

Step 3: Register on freelance sites

Registering on freelance sites above will allow you to attract clients that will pay money for these services. If you are somewhat new in that field, you can charge as little as $5 to complete a job for someone on Fiverr.

Take a look at what other freelancers are doing and how they get jobs. Post as someone looking for a freelancer to see what the responses look like. Hire a fellow freelancer to get some tips on what works for them. Freelancers are the type that tend to bond tend and help each other, so don’t be afraid to ask.

As you enhance your skills more and more you can start to raise the price. I would recommend being perfectly honest with people on what your skills are at the time. Don’t try to start charging hundreds of dollars if you have never done it before. Raise the price as you gain experience and your reviews will help you demand those prices.

Step 4: Focus on doing a good job and getting quality reviews

As you complete more jobs make sure to ask your clients to leave you a review. As you gain more reviews you can raise the price. And as you gain more quality reviews you will also attract more clients. It’s a win/win.

Make sure that you under promise and over deliver. A lot of people make the mistake of over-promising and under delivering and this results in bad reviews. Do more than what you promised, not less. This results in exceeded expectations and great reviews.

If the customer doesn’t leave a review, simply ask. Another way to both help you sales and get good reviews is to explain to the client that you are new but dedicated and you will work your tail off for cheap to get a great review. Do this several times and build up quality reviews.

Step 5: Expanding your business from freelance platforms

People often ask what the next step is after freelance platforms. Well, there are several options:

Setup your own website and sell the same services there without having to pay the freelance sites a cut. You can get started on that by getting your own web hosting and domain name so you can build a site with a free tool such as WordPress.

Expand out into a new business for yourself. Instead of taking clients, do the skill you learned for yourself in your own project.

You can scale freelancing gigs pretty high by raising the price. Instead of having 100 clients paying $5, you can have 5 clients paying $100. That way you can handle more jobs and get paid more.

Freelancing is a great way to get started with an online business. After you have an initial client base and skill base the possibilities are endless. The money is also endless. Many people have scaled freelancing into full on agencies and massive companies.

You can also do freelancing while you have a full-time job. If you have an hour or two before or after work (which everyone should be able to find) you can invest that time into your freelance business. Before you know it you may have a great extra income stream or something that you can totally replace your 9-5 with.

Small Business and Internet Marketing Influence via Google

Small Business and Internet Marketing Influence via Google

Google, the world’s most successful Internet company, got so big because so many people have loved its search engine for so long. Lately, though, some folks have become really angry with Google. They’re saying that it’s mistreating the small businesses whose sites show up in its search results.

Small Business and Internet Marketing Influence via Google 

In a ZDNet blog post titled “Google’s highly profitable war against small businesses and jobs,” my friend Tom Foremski accuses Google of … well, waging a highly profitable secret war against small businesses and jobs.

‘Panda’ Bites Back

Foremski accuses the company of tweaking its search results to keep visitors on Google’s own pages rather than sending them to sites operated by small companies. Google initiatives such as research into self-driving cars, he says, are intended to divert the attention of journalists, thereby discouraging them from asking questions about these search-engine changes.

Then there’s an organization called Saving Small Business. It’s agitated about “Panda,” the code name Google gave a set of changes it made to its search algorithm earlier this year. Panda aims to emphasize high-quality sites and push down junky ones. But Saving Small Business maintains that Panda “is destroying small business and jobs” by accidentally penalizing good sites along with the bad.

The organization says that Google isn’t doing enough to explain how companies can maintain high rankings. It also carps that Panda led to layoffs in the search-engine optimization business.

Speaking of search-engine optimization, SEO export Aaron Wall argues that the search engine now favors big brands over everyone else, making it tough for little guys to compete. He’s created an infographic that states his case.

Google Goes Nuclear?

My instinct is usually to side with small companies over behemoths like Google. In this case, however, I’m conflicted.

Sure, I feel for hard-working businesses that have been negatively impacted by changes at Google. I understand why it’s an emotional issue. (Among the metaphors for Google’s search-engine changes used by company owners quoted at Saving Small Business: arson, napalm, nuclear warfare, and a blind man randomly shooting a rifle.)

There’s a crucial lesson for businesses of all sizes here, though. It’s always risky when your company is too dependent on any single organization, whether it’s one major customer or one major search engine.

Google, of course, isn’t just a major search engine: It controls around two-thirds of the search market. You can’t do business on the Web without having a strategy for getting found on Google.

But you also need a strategy for getting found without Google’s help — or at least without as much help as you’d like. A high placement in its search engine was never an entitlement, and it’s self-destructive to act like it is.

Web-Search Sanity

Anyone who’s been paying attention already knew that a company’s ranking in Google results can be fragile. In 2002, a company called SearchKing sued Google when its results tumbled. In 2006, a site called KinderStart filed a similar suit. Both cases were dismissed.

Google isn’t required to guarantee that any company, large or small, will get a great position in its results. It’s also not responsible for preserving the jobs that small businesses create. It’s just a profit-making enterprise that’s under intense, continuous scrutiny — and no matter what it does with its search engine, it’s going to make some people unhappy.

Before it rolled out the Panda update, for instance, the company was taking a drubbing in the media from pundits and rivals who said its results were too spammy. It dealt with the problem in part by demoting sites with lots of affiliate links and little original content, characteristics which are often a sign of poor quality. But especially at first, the changes it made hurt some good sites, too.

Still, I can’t imagine that even the most furious small-business owners would vote to go back to the Web as it existed before Google debuted in 1998. Back then, it was far harder for anyone to find anything on the Internet. By improving search so dramatically, Google let small companies introduce themselves to the world in a way that was utterly new.

The News Isn’t All Bad

Even some of the facts presented by Google’s critics show that it remains a boon to small businesses.

For example, Foremski’s post includes figures that show ad revenue from the ads Google places on partner sites — such as those operated by countless small businesses — growing at a slower rate than revenue from the ads on Google’s own sites. That’s a change from last year, when ads on partner sites outpaced ones on Google itself. But partner-site revenue isn’t shrinking. It’s just increasing at a less robust clip — still in double digits — than it did in 2010.

So what’s the best way to think about Google as a source of customers for your company?

I’d start by maintaining a healthy skepticism about advice provided by search-engine optimization consultants. As Google’s Panda changes proved, SEO trickery that works well one day can fizzle the next.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t take steps to increase your site’s chances of ranking high in Google in a more permanent manner. In this blog post, SEO expert Wall provides some smart tips for doing just that. (A lot of it boils down to “be useful and original.”)

If you’re not using Google’s AdWords service to put your company’s ads in front of people who search Google for keywords relevant to your business, I’d consider doing so. It’s the only way to guarantee yourself a prominent spot on Google.

You should also look beyond Google, thinking about how you’ll reach people on services such as Facebook. These days, your company’s social-network strategy is just as important its search-engine strategy.

I don’t mean to be completely contrarian here. Sitting on the first page of Google results for searches relating to your business is a wonderful thing. We all know that.

Ultimately, though, it’s a little like owning a beautiful home in an area which you know is prone to mudslides. It’s fine to enjoy it while you can, as long as you understand that it might not last forever. And if disaster does strike, being prepared is much, much more productive than being angry.

5 Tips on getting a freelance job

1. Install the original photo of your face

Some people do not care enough to put photos. And before looking at other things, the photo is the first seen.

Does it exist when you apply to a company, which is considered first your photo? If that does not escape, your application enters the trash can.

Without a good photo and a positive impression, the first impression you give is that you are not so serious at work, just a perfunctory, or just click fad.

2. Write down a good reason why you are suitable for the project

Remember when you applied, you were selling yourself. So in that reason, you explain why employers should choose you and not others.

There are applicants who do not give much effort in writing the reason. But some are really serious. Of course the more serious get more attention.

Examples of unfavorable reasons:

3. Make a good portfolio

Workers who look serious are those who have set up their portfolios.

Why is portfolio important?

Because when the employer filters the applicant, he does not know the applicant's ability. Only from the example of his work can he decide whether his expertise is appropriate or not.

The portfolio is better than just words like, "I'm sure I'm capable of doing the job you do well."

Also when you come in full preparation, you will appear more sticky than others.

4. Responsive

Ideally, prospective project applicants can quickly answer the questions that the employer has.

A little less fun if one conversation has to wait a day or two to get a reply.

Indeed not everyone has internet access anytime anywhere. But if anyone is more responsive than you, the chances of getting a job are also bigger than you.

5. Give the sample the requested text

For this tip more inclined for my purposes. Even though people have set up their portfolios, I want people to give me a sample of the article model I'm looking for.

First, I want to know if he can write as I want. Because of my experience, some people tend to write according to what he wants. Not what I need. If I have already obtained a writer like this, it is usually difficult to be directed and the results are not satisfactory for me.

Initially, I asked to write a prospective applicant for 500 words. Then I subtract it to 350 words. Because with a shorter number of words I can better assess whether he is able to write effectively and efficiently.

Additional tips

These are tips that will open up your chances of getting a job back or even recommended to others.

Give more than requested

Some people may feel a loss when it should give more than the minimum amount requested.

However, from my experience, there is one applicant always gives more than requested, he shows me, that he is able to do a bigger job.

I happen to have a bigger and bigger project, so I gave it to him.

If somebody ever needs a good writer, his name is the first one I would recommend.

It should be noted: Not everyone can appreciate the more effort you give. But if you are lucky to meet the right person, the new doors will open for you.

MORE BONUS SITES! (UPDATE)

YouTube–

Wondering how YouTube can help you make money? YouTube has this fantastic revenue sharing program that you are unaware of! If you make good videos, all following the guidelines set up by YouTube, then you too may get chosen as a ‘partner’ of the site. YouTube allows its partners to earn a part of the revenue that is accumulated from the ads displayed along with the video when it is played! Just take a look at some popular Indian YouTube channels like- TVF (The Viral Fever) and AIB (All India Bakchod). Such popular channels even get direct sponsorship and advertisers too. The advertisement is usually done in the form of brand mentioning within the video. But let me tell you one thing, to reach such high level of popularity, you must be a creative genius and a hard worker, like the folks at AIB and TVF.

Cleanfiles– 

It is a PPD (Pay Per Download) site. Let me tell you how it works. First of all, you need to register on the site. This has to be followed by uploading a file onto the site. You’ll be provided by a link to the uploaded file. Now, each time someone visits that link to download that file, they will be asked to complete a survey before they can lay their hands on the file. Each completed survey and download is counted and paid for. Thus, basically for each successful download of that file, you get paid! You may promote the link to the file on Social Media or on blogs (just like I do). So, you may try out this mode of making money even without owning a blog!

CPA Grip–

Just like the previous entry, this one is also a PPD site. The way of working is exactly the same. There are some options available though, like a content locker, URL and File locker, Video Locker, Virtual Currency and Offer Wall.

Bubblews–

This site is a paradise for writers. Writers are paid for writing posts on the site and for sharing them on social networking sites. I’ll describe to you how Bubblews works. For each article you write, you will be paid 0.01$ for every unique visit that it gets! And for every ‘like’ that it gets, 0.01$ will be paid again! For a comment that the article gets, another 0.01$ is added!

For a friend you refer to Bubblews, you will be paid 0.2$ for the first article he/she posts! So, for a view, you get paid 0.01$. The article has to be just 300-400 words, that is some 2-3 paragraphs only!

So, if you write 10 such articles and you get 100 views for each of them, by sharing it on sites like Facebook and asking your friends to read them, then it will garner some 1000 views. This means you earn 10$ (around 600 Rupees!). And add to it number of likes and comments, the amount can well cross 1200-1500 INR!

If you ask me, Bubblews is one of the best ways for Indians to make money online. Most money making sites cater to visitors from the west. Asian and Indian visitors are often paid paltry amounts by money making sites. But Bubblews pays visitors from around the world richly! Click here to register on Bubblews and start earning money today by publishing an article right away. You may write on any topic that pleases you!

# iWriter

Got decent writing skills? If yes, iWriter website could help you put this skill to use and help you earn money by writing for others! The way it works is similar to that of sits like Cracked and Listverse- you get paid for writing articles.

In simple terms, iWriter is a platform, where writers and requester (who need articles) are allowed to interact. Writers may register and take look at the list of requested and the type/topic of article that they want. The price specs are decided by the requester.

The price depends on the quality of the article, article length, the writer’s level on the site etc. Quality content is valued on this site. The requester’s reviews help writers climb up the rating level ladder quickly. On the upper rungs, payments are much more than in the case of new members. So, the key while using iWriter should be to churn out quality content, satisfy the requester and thus improve own rating!

# Fiverr

Like iWriter, Fiverr too is a site that lets you make money by making use of skills that you possess. iWriter focuses exclusively on writing skills. Fiverr, on the other hand, allows one to come in with a much more wide set of skills. It is a freelancing site that will help you market your skills and find relevant gigs from buyers.

Fiverr too is thus like an online market place, where sellers and buyers may interact and do business! Getting started is simple- register on the site, fill the profile correctly and provide details of skills that you possess! To get more out of Fiverr, it is necessary to jump on to higher levels! Doing quality work and satisfying buyers will help get good ratings, testimonials and even handsome tips!

In case of Instructors, advantages are two- they will be able to reach out to students and help them acquire knowledge and skills and they will also be able to monetize their course material! In simple terms, it is like getting paid for teaching online.

# Paid survey sites

A paid survey site asks users to take part in surveys and in return pays the user a small amount. While this scheme sounds exciting at first, this field is filled with fake survey sites, which pays nothing at all to users!

But there are good paid survey sites out there too, which rewards users well for the surveys that they take part in. I’ve compiled a good list of trusted paid survey sites that one may make use of and make money online!

# E- Commerce sites like Flipkart, Amazon etc

Most E Commerce sites also have attractive affiliate programs, which common users like you and I can make use of. Basically it is all about promoting products available on the site and register sales using affiliate link (can be obtained after registering as an affiliate on that particular site).

The first step is to register as an Affiliate on the site. After that, you may access the affiliate dashboard, find good products to promote, get the affiliate link and promote it on platforms like Social media sites, WhatsApp, forums, blogs etc. For each sale that you manage to get (via your affiliate link), you’ll be paid a commission (depends on the site and product being sold).

How to Make Money Online From Social Media Websites

How to Make Money Online From Social Media Websites

There are the most popular social media, then, of course, there is also a Founder or Creator of social media that is successful because of the social media they manage. For example the Facebook Founder  "Mark Zuckerberg", Twitter Founder "Jack Dorsey", and others. They are one of the most successful people in the world and have tremendous wealth via theirs social media websites.

Many experts say that social media is for connecting with people, and not for selling, but at some point, you're going to want to leverage the connections you create. If you've built up enough trust with your followers, they'll be more inclined to check out your recommendations and the links you share.

Here are top ways you can make money on social media.

1. Promote affiliate products.

No matter what industry you're in, you can find great products to promote on ClickBank. And if that doesn't quite jive with you, you can also become an Amazon Associate, promote products of your choosing and earn commissions on them -- Amazon has no shortage of products.

Next, instead of spamming links on Twitter and hoping for the best, keep in mind that the most honest and effective way of promoting affiliate products is through reviews. If you personally use a product and like it, and know that your followers serve to benefit from it, then write a long-form review on your blog, and share why you like the product. Don't be afraid to talk about what you like and don't like about it. You can even use video if that's more your style.

Also, make sure to disclose your affiliate relationships. This is a legal requirement in most cases, but it's also "best practice." Your readers or viewers will appreciate your honesty.

2. Create and promote your own information products.

If you already have a blog, and you've demonstrated your expertise on a specific subject over a period of time, there may be an opportunity to create an ebook, audio program or video course and sell it to your audience. Social media is the perfect place to promote such a product.

Platforms like Gumroad, Sellfy and Amazon's KDP program make it easy for you to publish and sell your PDF, MP3 or video file at a price of your choosing -- keeping in mind that all platforms do take a cut, even if it's small.

As with anything, quality is key to creating something people not only want to read, but will pay to read. If you take extra care in creating great information, designing and promoting it well, you will definitely see more sales.

3. Promote products and services.

There are many opportunities for you to share sponsored posts that promote the products and services of other businesses. This is a very direct way of earning money from social media.

But, if you don't have a sizable following, this may not be much of an opportunity. You also have to beware of over-promoting products for want of money, because if your followers see that you're constantly tweeting about one product or another, not only will they not click on the links, they will also un-follow you.

It's important to mix things up. It's wise to take the time to craft a proper social media posting schedule, to make sure you're adding value to your followers while promoting products. Calls to action should definitely be a part of your social media strategy, but every post can't be a call to action.

4. Use visual media to promote your crafts.

If you tend to create handmade crafts, art pieces, or even articles of clothing and knitting, there may be an opportunity to showcase your products on social media. Instagram and Pinterest may seem like obvious places to hit, but Facebook, Twitter and Google+ are also great channels for sharing visual media.

If you have an Etsy account, you can direct your followers to check out your products there, and between the different channels, you have the potential to make a good living.

5. Promote your coaching or consulting services.

Social media is a great place to generate leads for your consulting business. Whether you're a guitar teacher or a life coach, if you have demonstrated expertise in a specific area, you can create more interest for your services by connecting with your target customer on social media.

Coaching sessions can be conducted over Skype, so this is definitely an opportunity to make money without leaving home. Consulting can be lucrative, so remember not to undercut yourself -- charge a fair price for your time and effort.

This strategy can also work in unison with selling information products, as those who want your advice are more likely to be interested in the ebooks and courses you've created.

6. Join the YouTube Partner Program

Building a popular YouTube channel can be a lot of work. But if you already have a following, or you're determined to build your audience, joining the YouTube Partner Program to make money on advertising might be a path worth exploring.

There are prominent YouTube content creators who have made substantial amounts of money with this program, but they are the exception rather than the rule. It would take a lot of time, strategy and sheer luck to make money on YouTube. However, this is a good thing to keep in mind with advertising in general. Unless you're already getting a lot of views and clicks, you're not going to make a lot of money on them. These are just some of the many ways you can make money with social media; there are plenty of other money-making websites for you to explore.

It's important to remember that making money on social media isn't necessarily easy. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and are willing to work hard, test and experiment, your chances of success will be far greater than the chances of those who just want to "give it a try" to see what happens.
