Increase Income Through Freelance Work
Freelance work (writing, programming, web development, admin support, sales & marketing, finance, management, legal, etc) can also be a great way to learn extra income from home. In these opportunities you will need to bid on each job that some lists on the freelance sites. The freelance sites will list the work needed by each prospective employer. They will describe what you need to do, hopefully in enough detail that you will know how much time and effort that job will take. From this you will bid on the job (usually a flat amount for the complete job). You’ll be asked to write a proposal including the amount you bid on the job, something about yourself and why you think you should be selected for this job, and any other relevant information you would like to ad. It usually takes a few (if not many) bids for each job you are awarded. Some of the companies you can register with are odesk.com, elance.com, getafreelancer.com, and ifreelance.com.
Very timely information. I am looking into freelancing and just signed up with Odesk.
