How to secure a freelancing Job
The economy is is in bad shape. The unemployment rate is hovering near 10% and we are very much close to the worst recession of the decade. Many people have been laid off and many more will get laid off. If you are already laid off you may be checking out one of the freelancing website Elance.com, Guru.com, rentacoder.com, odesk.com, ezdia.com or you may be polishing your resume and connections at LinkedIn and eZdia.com
These websites not only give you technology jobs. There are non technology works available at these websites - including writing, graphic and art, marketing, online marketing, and other administrative and service jobs.The websites Elance.com, Guru.com, rentacoder.com, odesk.com allow clients to post jobs or projects. Freelancers bid for jobs, usually in an auction style similar to ebay. These websites include tools to manage bid process. They also have payment gateways for money transaction. Elance and oDesk also has a series of tests that providers can take to demonstrate skills. This gives confidence to the clients or projects posters that a freelancer is better positioned to provide a quality service. Elance is the oldest website that I know of. It may not be the most popular one, because of the stricter rules. RentACoder, although, mainly technology focused, supports non-technical and administrative jobs. oDesk differs in that the hourly jobs are allowed in place of fixed bidding for projects.
LinkedIN is not a project posting website. It is your online resume. But it helps you to a great degree in securing freelancing works. You can also make connections in LinkedIn and secure freelancing works from there.
eZdia.com is the newest among them and the most promising. Its rich set of features starts with what LinkedIn has today. And it goes beyond that. An expert is searcheable in eZdia. You can ask a question from an expert in Ezdia. You can provide answers to your clients through eZdia’s communication channels that include messaging and chat. The payment gateway of eZdia allows you to get paid for your expertise.
If, for any reason, you want to explore options to get a temporary job or a freelancing work, you should try out eZdia today.
