With more and more people seeking
ways to earn online, either as a second job to supplement their income
or on a self-employed basis, the need for a viable platform to put worker
in touch with employer has never been more in demand, hence the introduction
of Project Work or Outsourcing Projects sites. These websites give freelancers
and the self-employed the opportunity to offer their services on their
marketplace sites, and employers the chance to be on the receiving end
of solid, good and experienced personnel. Outcome? Everyone is happy!
So if you are a freelance Writer, Website Designer, PA, Typist, Data
Entry Operator, Illustrator, I.T. expert, Translator, Proofreader, Teacher,
Accountant, Legal Expert or just about any kind of freelancer then this
might be a good platform for you to find work.
So what do you have to do to get started? Firstly, you will need to
register. This is free of charge, although marketplace sites do offer
tiered memberships that might be beneficial, which is something you
may want to look into once you are satisfied that this type of work
is for you. Once you have become a member you can view all the jobs
available online - they are listed in category so it is easy to find
your area of expertise. When you find a job that you would like to do
then you will need to make a bid for that job, i.e. you confirm that
you are prepared to undertake a particular project for X amount of pounds
- a budget is listed as a guide by the Project Poster (source offering
the work), which you can use as a lead. When you and the Project Poster
are agreed on completion date and fee, the job is yours. Marketplace
sites do impose a moderate commission charge or service fee on members
for each completed project, which is deducted from your earnings once
you have been paid. If you are using a Free account and choose the Paypal
payment method, some companies will charge you the Paypal payment fee,
which is usually a percentage of the money you are being paid. These
rates are listed on their websites, so do familiarise yourself with
their charges before you accept a project.
Now the important thing, how do you get paid? The simple answer is either
by Bank Account Transfer, Paypal or Cheque, but do check with each site
as their payment schemes may differ. Payments for completion of jobs
are made on the website directly into your account - you may then put
in a request for payment which will be delivered into your personal
bank or Paypal
account. If you do not have a Paypal
account and would like one, you can register for an instant free account
by using
this link.
The good thing about Project Work is that you get to do a job that you
enjoy from the comfort of your home; the downside is that you do have
to bid for projects and will only be successful if you win those projects.
However, once you have proved yourself as reliable, trustworthy and
capable, you will be offered more work, as Project Posters will seek
out your services. Many people do make a living from this type of freelance
work and you will find some testimonials on the sites listed. If you'd
