how to start freelancing_ What is Freelancing

Today's video is for those people who are planning to start freelancing and they wanna learn it how to start this thing?

Let's start

learning Freelancing .Freelancing is such a business in which you can work from home and earn money.

Now, you may have 2 situations.Either you got a skill or not.If you have a skill then you can instantly start this business.If you don't then you can sped a little more time and learn it.

After learning a skill you can start this business later.

There are two types of freelance platforms. One is traditional, like upwork.

You go to this type of website, create your account and get verified.After account approval you see projects in your dashboard and then place bids there.If the client feels good with your proposal, he may hire you for the job.

This is the one way to go on Freelancing.There are multiple platforms available that follow this system of bidding.Freelancer.com, upwork.com, peopleperhour.com and many others ...

There is another type of market place which isn't traditional like previously explained.This doesn't follow bidding concept and it's modern as well.

Fiverr.com follows the new concept of 'gigs'.There is another new platform that follows budding built by Hisham Sarwar.You have to enlist your services on these types of websites.

I mean you have to create your gigs (service listing) there.You need to add details like, what is this service all about, pricing and delivery time etc.

This is quite a new concept of freelancing. There are ranking factors included in services.

The gigs need to be optimized against specific keywords to be shown on the top of search results.

For instance if I search some keyword in Fiverr or WorkChest like 'Logo Designer in Budget'. As a result of this search the gig (service listing) which is optimized against above keyword.

If the keyword was stuffed nicely and placed naturally in the title, description and tags,

then these gigs will show up as a search result on these websites. They picks the services provider from the search page and hires them for the job.

Now let's talk about some other details.As a beginner you need to learn a skill first,If you can invest some minutes daily then you are good to go.

This is the only way to start Freelancing.I'll try to make a post on Fiverr keyword research very soon.

In that video I'll show you how to use keywords and optimize your gigs.

I hope you liked this short post.
