Freelancer is a self-employed person, who is not employed continuously but hired to do specific assignments and projects. Freelancing is billion dollar industry. There are websites which connect the freelancers to clients. Clients post projects description on these websites and freelancer from all around the world bid on these projects. Client selects a contractor, and when the contractor finishes the project, they are paid through the websites. These websites handle the money and you can withdraw the money to Pakistani account. Few of the websites are Elance.com, oDesk.com, Freelancer.com and many more. ..This blog will teach you how to work on these websites and earn some real money..

If you know anything,and I mean literally anything about any software/hardware,you can work on these websites.Perhaps some of you think that I can not find work online as I am not an engineer or programmer.Anyone and I mean literally anyone can do it.Here are few of the project categories that are available...for complete detail please click Here

There are two type of projects on these websites,Fixed price project and hourly projects.In fixed price projects  the payment is done after completing the project and client is happy with your work,while in hourly projects payments are made on the hour bases you work on the project.The lowest rate for technical jobs is 5$/hour and if you work 8 hours a day and 6 days a week, you can make 960$ a months and you can increase your hourly rate as you gain more experience.I have around 1 year experience and I am currently working on 20$/hour and I know people personally who work on 60$/hour while sitting in their own comfortable home in Pakistan.There are endless possibilities like you may get an opportunity to work for Fortune 500 companies as their full time employee or you can set up your own agency/company.


Freelancing offers a lot of benefits to freelancers,you can work from anywhere,anytime you want,and on any project you want.Recently I read a blog where a freelancer told that he traveled 17 countries in 2012.Freelancing gives you the opportunity to work on the cutting edge tools and technology.It enhances inter-personal skills.It gives you practical learning experience,looks awesome on the CV.If you want to spend more time with your family,freelancing is the best profession you get.The most important thing is you can have loads fun and some serious money:)
