Freelance Work from Home - Tips for freelancers Continued

Continuing with my previous post Freelance Work from Home - Tips for freelancers I am going to share some more freelance tips that will help increase productivity for freelancers.

  • Fight stress: Learn to overcome stress, don't be panicked if you are not getting projects, leads initially. For one of my friend it took 4 months to get his first project, that to of very small $ value. I told my friend that this is the opportunity you give your best shot to this project and then see what magic happens. And yes months later when I met him he has got his own new office space and was working with a team of freelancers.
  • As I mentioned in previous post start at the right time and in case you can start making business contracts before you quit your regular job it would be nice, thus you can save yourself from the stress of making business relationships as a full time freelancer as you have already got some links.
  • Smart work: Feel free to use tools etc that can increase your productivity.
  • Plan your work and keep focus on all the projects you are handling.

Here I am not going to bore you with a 1000+ words long article but share some simple freelance work tips with you. I hope these tips will be of some help to you. First of all freelancing are of two type part time freelancing and full time freelancing. In full time freelancing you work independantly whereas in part time you work according to number of hours you can spare alongwith your other fixed source of income. Below are the tips that are of same importance to both full time & part time freelancers:



  • Start when its right time: Don't start freelancing for the heck of it or because of the face that some colleague or someone you know if doing the same stuff and making good money. In cace you have made your mind then research your options carefully like do you need to learn new things or your current skills are enough to get freelance work enough to support you.

  • Work for branding yourself: In freelancing reputation is everything if you get initials negative reviews at some freelance portals it means the road has become more difficult for you. The best thing to do is never commit thing you can't do, communicate clearly, send timely reports and above all take care of the quality.

  • competitive costs: Don't bid too low or too high, initialy you may require to keep your costs low. Here is the big tip try to bid low of smaller projects which you can finish in a week or two for long term projects bid high as over time you will realise that this project is costing you over new project that you can negotitate for higher price.

Why work from home jobs are more beneficial

Hi all,

Today I am very happy that I opted for work at home jobs at the right time. Though I undertake work at home jobs like paid surveys, mystery shopping along with SEO freelancing (I work as search engine optimisation expert at a web design and Internet Marketing company). Last week few of the employees of our company were fired due to data theft and sharing companys confidential information with people outside. So in the end management took the decision's to have a bong agreement signed with all the employees of the company.

I was also asked to sign the agreement, it includes twos years time working at the comapany and one NDA (non disclosure agreement) At this part of life I am not in the condition to sign any type of bond ,,, SO i asked for some time from management and in the end I today decided but I am going to share with you all.

I have decided to not sign any type of bond agreement and take work at home jobs online as my full time source of income. even i earn a handsome from freelance work from various freelance website. I am in a hurry today coz today is my last official weekend ;) From today onwards it would be me deciding my weekdays adn weekends.

So one more advantage of work at home or freelance jobs online is :



- You dont need to sign any work bond or NDA with your boss.


SO all you ppl wish me happy freelancing
