How to Start Freelancing

The first thing that comes to the mind of all new freelancers or those who want to start freelancing is how to start freelancing! In fact, most of the people in our country still do not have enough idea about freelancing. And so they can't believe that making money online from home is actually possible!

Many are freelancing from home, and have become successful freelancing! So, we must first remember that freelancing can earn money, and this income is not less than 10 other jobs! And because of this, people related to technology are slowly becoming interested in freelancing and want to do freelancing. But the biggest hurdle for beginners is that they don't understand how to actually start freelancing. In today's blog we will discuss in detail how to start freelancing.

What is Freelancing?

Before starting freelancing you must know what is freelancing? Because if you don't know about your work field then how can you work in that field? So having an idea about freelancing will help you a lot in your work. Freelancing actually means freedom in Bengali!

Freelance means you can do whatever you want. That is, suppose a buyer tells you they need a website. Now, for whatever reason or problem you have, is the buyer going to force you to do it if you don't take his order? Of course not! So you don't have freedom in your work? Or suppose, you are given a task of 3 days duration by the buyer. Whether you do it in the morning or at night is up to you. As long as you can make him work within 3 days. So you don't have freedom in your work? And this is why freelancing is called a free profession!

But the whole thing is not so simple! Those who do freelancing regularly understand.

But, a big question for those of you who want to start freelancing is how to start freelancing? Today's article has given you a very basic level answer to this question.

What are the things needed to start freelancing?

Before starting freelancing, you must ensure some basic things. Things you will need to start freelancing are:

1. Computer
2. Internet connection
3. Adequate proficiency in English
4. Ability to work

Can you ask, is it possible to do freelancing with mobile? In fact, you can't do any work professionally with mobile! Because, if the work of a computer could be done on a mobile, then people would not buy a computer anymore, everyone would buy a mobile. In fact, due to mobile's small display, less functions, multitasking limitations, less storage, etc., no professional work in the freelancing marketplace can be done on mobile!

Choose a topic of interest

The first step to start freelancing is choosing a topic! Remember, freelancing is a job sector. Another job sector consists of many types of work.

If you look at the teaching profession, you will find that our schools and colleges have teachers of various subjects. A physics teacher only teaches physics, a chemistry teacher teaches chemistry. Similarly:

ICT teachers teach ICT.

Math teacher do math

Sir of English teaches English.

Accounting teachers only teach accounting, etc.

That is, a teacher is very skilled in that one subject and therefore he teaches that one subject. Similarly in the case of working in the marketplace you have to choose a specific job. Some of the sectors that are in demand in the marketplace are:

Web Development – Web Development

Graphics Design – Graphics Design

SEO – SEO

Digital Marketing – Digital Marketing

Facebook Marketing – Facebook Marketing

Affiliate Marketing – Affiliate Marketing

CPA marketing – CPA marketing

Content writing – content writing

Video editing – Video editing

Data Entry – Data entry

Virtual assistant – virtual assistant, etc

In fact, there are so many jobs in the marketplace that are beyond our imagination. So, we have to take a specific topic first. And choosing this subject is a very difficult task! Because, if you are completely new to this sector, then it will be a little difficult to choose your interest and work wisely!

Acquire adequate skills

The first step to start freelancing was to choose a specific topic or sector. And the second step is to acquire sufficient skills! That is, you must acquire sufficient expertise in the subject you have chosen. If not, how will you provide good service in the marketplace...? Marketplace is a competitive place where you have to stay competitive all the time. And if you are not skilled enough to survive in the competition then you have to drop out of this sector naturally!

So, one must first be well versed in specific subject. But keep two things in mind when it comes to skills:

Acquire adequate skills in specific sectors

Gain employable skills from the marketplace.

Many people come to the marketplace only to learn a specific job, and later leave the marketplace after being disappointed by not getting a job..!

Remember, just like being able to work is a skill, being able to get work from the marketplace is also a skill. Even if you can work, if you don't acquire the skills to take work, then you can't take work from the marketplace or outside the marketplace! In that case, you must acquire the skills to be able to take work from the marketplace or outside the marketplace.
