Today I would like to share five super tips that will help you win high paying online jobs in Elance and oDesk. Remember, no matter how much information you cram in your head, if you do not make a point of taking action you are as good as the person who doesn’t know anything at all.
Elance and oDesk are two of the most promising places for online jobs in Kenya. If you have access to a computer and internet connection plus loads of time on your hands, you should try launching a freelance career in Elance and oDesk.
But what does it really take to turn freelance writing into a source of income that is not only sustainable but also constant?
- Bid for jobs on a daily basis
Bid for jobs on a daily basis
You are probably considering the world of freelance jobs because you probably graduated from college and have been tarmacking with little success.
- Write laser-tailored and awesome job proposals
Be awesome when you write your bid proposals
Your proposal needs to be laser-tailored to the freelance job being advertised. If for instance the clients wants an article about bitcoins, do not send a proposal that simply says, “I can do this job”…
- Stay online
Stay online!
- Go for what you are most talented in
Practise and perfect your field
One of the freelance fields that always has a flood of open jobs is freelance writing. But does this mean that we should all flock here?
No.
Don’t force yourself into a job category that does not suit you.
Freelance jobs come in many categories including admin and support, graphics and design, web design and programming among others.
Choose one that you believe you can perform optimally and stick with it.
- Do not give up
Whatever you do, don’t give up.
You might have heard of that miner who after digging a trench for miles and miles, finally gave up while the gold vein was only a few inches on the other side of the tunnel. Whatever you do, do not give up!
The job bid that you would have placed tomorrow was probably the application that was gonna win you the first job on Elance. There is money in freelancing. Other people are banking it all the time. Why shouldn’t you?
