Behave & Earn On Freelancer
Many of us are always in a hunt for the best possible platform to earn online. Of course, that has to be quite legit and rewarding too. But one thing which we should not forget about is — Earning is never easy, so only if you have patience and the ability to maintain the consistency level, then only you should even think of trying to earn even a single penny online.

In this blog, we shall be entirely concentrating on a very popular website for freelancers and I am very sure the majority of you are very well aware of the name — Freelancer.com, We are not going to discuss the sign up process but we will try to pen down most of the attributes needed to bag a project and get multiple 5 star reviews. So it is advisable to read the entire blog.

That is exactly how the landing page looks like — But before clicking on the signup button, we had a lot to discuss.
This website gives you a chance to cash your passion or in cash your expertise.
Some of the high in demand traits on this website are listed below :
- Article Writing.
- Website Proofreading.
- Website & Mobile Application Development.
- Social Media Marketing.
- Lead Generation.
- Data Entry, Research & Data Mining.
- Graphic Designing.
- Translation
The above mentioned are some of the topmost verticals on the website where people are getting hired multiple times in a single day and making quite a good chunk of money.
STEP 1 — So as you now know about the website and the top verticles, now it's your turn to decide what your pressure points are, please remember that you are the only person who can identify your strong points so its no point of asking your family and friends.
STEP 2 — Once you have identified your strong points, Now is the time to get yourself signed up for the website, don't worry its entirely free :) Make sure to complete your profile in a professional way with a really good Display Picture, Profile Description, Sample Work (If Any) and your area of expertise.
- Project Managers are more likely to hire a Freelancer with a decent profile instead of a person with an incomplete or unprofessional profile.
STEP 3- The new projects will start popping on your screen. Now here is the catch as a free user you have some limitations on the amount of Bid you can do in a time span of 30 Days.
- Strategy For Selecting A Project — As a new user we should follow a well-curated and tested strategy for bidding so that the probability of getting noticed increases.
STEP 4- Before bidding for any new project make sure to read the project description very well & then decide if this can be of your interest or not, never ever bid blindly on any project.
- Generally what freelancers do is in a hurry they bid for the project without even reading the description. The description involves a lot of things like details of the project, pricing of the project and many more important things.
STEP 5- When the conversation starts never ever ask further details of the project until and unless the mentioned description of the project have been discussed.
STEP 6 — Once the project details have been discussed — the major mistake what most of the freelancer makes is they ask the project manager — “ What is your Budget”.
Now here what you need to understand is that you have already Bid your price for the project and there is no need to ask him/her for the budget. As per the records, 80% of the project managers don't wish to interact with freelancers who ask for the budget.
STEP 7 — Never ever bid for a project without a proposal. In case you bid without it, it shows your unprofessional behaviour and it tends that you are not serious for the project.
STEP 8 — Once the project has been completed — never ever ask the project manager to give you 5 Start ratings instead you should say “ Please rate my work as per your satisfaction level” this sentence clearly indicates that you are here not just for one project but for a long term, hence the project manager would be more interested to hire you again, thus by increasing your Re-Hire rate which is a major factor on this website.
STEP 9 — Never ever ask the project manager for a tip, this will degrade your professional image.
STEP 10 — There is something called Milstsones — This means the project manage divides the entire stage of the project into multiple milestones. Before starting at every stage he/she creates a milestone by paying to the freelancer website and when that stage is completed as per his/her satisfaction level then the milestone is released. Never Ever force the manager to release the milestone — this may result in a dispute for the project.
These are the 10 points which if followed religiously can make wonders for your freelancer carrier. Remember people are making more than $250k annually from this site.
We have got more than 300 Projects completed on Freelancer website ranging from INR 100 to a very higher ticket size & have communicated with more than 1000 freelancers, all the above pointers are based on personal experiences which actually clicked.
