Freelancing
![]() |
Freelancing is the best source of income nowadays |
Be it online or offline, freelancing, starting a business or working in an organization, the first two things that are important for him are 'hard work' and the other is 'patience'.
Most people want to start freelancing, but they don't know where to start. I suggest they should start with 'learning'. When a person does not know the basic information, like how to operate a computer, create an account, then how to login to a different website with that account, etc.
You must first know about them, learn them. Then lack of patience and lack of consistency, these two are also negative points, which prevent you from moving forward. If a person is trying and it is not working, he soon changes his ways. In such a case you cannot depend on others that you will message them and they will explain the whole process to you.
In this day and age internet is available to everyone. You can watch your favorite videos and dramas on YouTube, so you can also learn about computers.
If you don't understand by watching videos on internet then you can join any offline or online course. Learn from there regularly and try to have desktop or laptop to learn. On which you can practice as well. Freelancing can be started after regular learning.
Recognition of Ability/Skills:
If you have computer knowledge, but don't know what to do? How to do it? Or what to do if you do not recognize your ability?
First of all you should know your maha. In my view, the easiest way to identify potential is to:
- See what you do the most on your Laptop, Desktop, Smart Phone or friends' Laptop, Desktop, Smart Phone. What do you help them do?
- If you help your parents, friends to edit photos, you may be interested in photo editing and keeping this interest in mind, you can learn it and turn it into your ability. Your ability will become photo editing.
- Likewise if you help them with video editing. If you edit any video well with timeline, animation, effects, etc. then you will be interested in video editing. Then you can master it by learning it regularly.
- What else do you need to be good at? If you don't understand, search any freelancing website and see the projects in it, what is it? All you can do is practice the ability if you are not good at it.
- To give my example, I have been good at technical tasks. But despite being good at this work from the beginning, I learned many things by seeing them once, so many things were a test of patience. But I had difficulty in cooking. Cooking is usually learned by anyone after watching it a few times. Sometimes it seemed that I would not be able to eat. Now after trying, I didn't know and Alhamdulillah, the idea that I will never know how to cook went out of my mind.Don't worry if you don't learn things as quickly as people around you, because your understanding and level of doing the work may be different.
Freelancing:
Doing online work for someone else that earns you money is called freelancing. Or a job that you get others to do online anytime and anywhere and they pay you in return is called freelancing.
You can do freelancing from any corner of the world, where you have internet access and you can earn money.
How is freelancing done?
Any business needs people to do its work, that's why they hire people to do their work and pay them in the form of salary in a month, but due to the development of online market, many jobs There are businesses that have to do that which can be done completely online and for that they don't hire anyone and get the work done by contacting people online, so that they can do it cheaply and easily. Can do it soon.
Entrepreneurs must look for people who can get them work online. It's called the Freelance Marketplace. There are many websites where both job seekers and job seekers are present.
In the freelancing marketplace, a freelancer creates a profile, detailing his skills and work.
Any business that wants to get some of their work done by a freelancer can do it in two ways. First, they search for freelancers related to your work and contact the freelancer they like and rate final. Get the job done. Secondly, give them a post, in which they have to do the work, tell them how much this work has to be done? Also ask some questions. Now freelancers in this skill will answer questions on this post about how many days and at what rate they will do the work, as well as how they will deliver the work. Now the business will read the response of all these freelancers and will assign work to the suitable freelancer among them.
If the freelancer wants, he can take some money in advance or take the full salary after completing the work.
