What Is Freelancing?

What Is Freelancing?

Explain what you mean by freelancing, please.

     Okay! The definition or meaning of freelance work is simply that someone is selling their skills to somebody else. Take me for an example, I do freelance writing. People need articles or essays written, so they hire me and I create and sell my content to them. I apply and offer my services to them, and they pick the best candidate out of a group of freelancers. It is a very simple concept that has a very broad range of skills and services involved.

What skills do people offer?

     People offer their expertise in absolutely EVERYTHING. The amount of freelance work and employers out there is immense, and anyone can offer their skills for hire and find someone who needs them. It is a massive community of contractors and employers. There are so many different websites that you can work on and for. Two of the big ones are Freelancer, which I use, and oDesk. 

Can I do freelance work?

     Unless you possess no abilities at all, yes! Simply find a website that suits you and begin applying for job offers. People are looking everywhere for skills and content, whether it be journalism or computer programming, and if you can provide them with what they want, you will be awarded. It might take a while for you to get the hang of it, but the learning curve is not that bad at all. I have only been seriously at it for a few days and I already have several employers and jobs to do. Just take my advice and don't give up. 

Thank you!

     Thank you very much for reading my short excerpt on freelancing. It wasn't very in-depth or anything, but I just wanted to help people out who had no clue what freelancing is. If you are interested in doing some freelance work, I would suggest you use Freelancer. They are very easy to use and navigate, and you should get the hang of it very quickly. You can either search their website or help me out by using my affiliate link. Don't worry, I wont be offended if you don't, my goal here is not to amass referrals.
