Starting work as a self-employed brings with it a lot of self-doubts, nervousness but above all, it brings freedom and opportunity to earn. It all takes a pathway of how to start.
First of all, you must be wondering in which field you can start freelancing. Let me help you out.
Scope of Freelancing
To your fortune, you can do freelancing in any field you possess skills. To list a few:
- Content Writing
- Graphic Designing
- Web development
- Crypto writing
- Blockchain Development
- IT and Programming
- Digital Marketing and so on
This is a never-ending list. For any skills you possess, freelancing gives you an opportunity to make money out of it. So, first of all, find out the field you want to start freelancing in.
Now, after you have found out which field works for you, you need to look out where you can find clients for the same?
How to find clients for freelance work?
There’s no “one” particular way to find clients for freelance work. Wherever, whenever someone wants to hire your services, you have a client.
You can find clients from anywhere.
- Social Media
- Freelance Platforms
- Email Marketing
- Cold pitching
- Building a personal brand
- Content Creation
With all these and many more ways, you can find freelance work and your clients.
However, the most convenient way that I find is using Freelance Platforms.
But Why?
Why Freelance Platforms?
Freelance platforms are convenient because the people who seek your services are already there. In all other methods, freelancers often have to put in some time to find prospects. You may or may not find people who are looking for your services. But, on freelance platforms, you already have prospects; you just need to convert them.
As far as I feel they are convenient, they are a lot inconvenient as well.
Freelance platforms, also come with a lot of loopholes.
Upwork and Fiverr are a couple of top doing freelance platforms, and sadly, they take 20% of commission cut from the payment freelancers receive.
20% of the commission cut. Isn’t it unfair?
For my $200 worth of work, I’m getting only $160. Though, the client pays in full — $ 200.
This is so unfair to get only 80% of the amount.
But, if most of the freelance platforms deduct so much, how can we use this method of finding clients?
Because now Pentonium is there to cater to all your needs.
