Earning money as freelancer at home

Probably nearly all of you have the wish to earn money at home, so what would you say, if I have an answer for you?

And different than all the affiliate marketing and advertising, you really would do a job.

Even if you are from India, China or elsewhere, there are companies all around the world maybe exactly looking for your skills.

Become a freelancer

As a freelancer you would work independent and offer your services to companies and individuals. You would be your own boss and you would make the prices.

And the demand for freelancers is huge. If you can do any of the following points, then you can become a freelancer.

Writers can for instance as freelancer earn money with blogs, article writing, data entry, article submission and content writing. I guess you all are able do so, right?

Marketers can earn as freelancers with SEO, link building and Social Networking. Probably also many of you can do so. No witchcraft needed.

Some of you have passion for ghotos and grahpics, would it not be nice, if you can earn money by that?

Designers can earn as freelancers with photo and graphic design, web and logo design, banner creation, Wordpress, CSS, HTML and XHTML design.

Maybe also some of you are good at programming and coding.

Programmers can earn as freelancers with Mobile Apps, PHP, MY SQL, Java, Joomla, Typo, Wordpress, XML and several modifications.

If you can do any of these points mentioned under writers, marketers, designers and programmers, then you can become a freelancer and earn money at home.

How you can become a freelancer?

Just go to www.scriptlance.com and create an account as programmer (also if you are writer, designer or marketer). It does not cost you any registration fee.

How does it work?

Once you have registered, you can see the job posts from companies that search freelancers for specific jobs. If one is suitable for you, then you can apply and place an offer for how much money you would do the job.

My advice is also to send a message via the internal mail form to ask for further details about a job, in order to know what is really wanted.

Among all the offers from freelancers a company will choose the offer that suites best to them and this is not necessary the lowest.

At the beginning you will have the difficulty that you do not have references and may have to offer cheaper, than competitors, but once you established a good reputation companies will be willing to accept hire prices.

In order to avoid scam and fraud, the provider offers an escrow function. You as freelancer always should insist that the company places an escrow before you start with the work, in order to avoid that you deliver and then the company does not pay.

This function gives also safety to the company, the escrow will only be transferred, if a job is finished.

If you did a good job, then companies will usually give you a bonus on top.

Are there any fees?

Yes for every contract that you receive you pay a minimum of $ 5 or 5 % of the contract volume (whichever is greater). Should the contract for any reason be cancelled, then the money will be refunded.

How do I know that it works?

Relatively simple. I am one of the buyers, I sometimes post jobs and hire freelancers.

So I paid people to make banner ads, to do some code editing, to develop templates, to do content writing and SEO .

This is why I know that it works, because I paid for the work of freelancers in Portugal, Russia, Pakistan, India and the US.

Who knows maybe in the future also you receive a contract from me.

Are there any negative points?

As I already mentioned, be aware that some companies may try to get your work for free. Always look at the references of the company.
If somebody has no references, then always be cautious.
