Today we are going to talk about freelancing job website. Okay, so to find freelance jobs, you need some freelancing websites. I am going to tell you in this lesson that what are different categories of freelancing job websites, and also which one you are going to hit in the start of your carrier in the middle of your carrier. Okay, so let's get started. Now, there are a lot of famous websites, freelancing websites where we have a thousands or maybe more than thousands of freelance jobs at a time. Okay, so these are basically high competition freelance websites.

There are also new comers in the market, which are basically low competition websites. When you are in the start of your career. You should avoid the high competition websites. Okay, so start making your profile simultaneously on two or three freelancing websites one Popular and to non popular websites and see what are the response from all these websites, okay? So it is just like putting your eggs into different baskets. Okay, so it is just like investment.

Now websites like Upwork might have more than 50 or maybe hundreds of applicants applied on just one job so your chances are very thin like maybe out of 50 you might have just one chance to get that job. Okay. takeaways from here is when you're applying on a job try to apply as early as you can on the job like if you open a job and there are only one applicant or two applicant, then this is the job there is very low competition, just get ahead and apply it as soon as possible. Also try to check the competition on different websites like guru.com freelancer.com upwork.com people are all there are multiple websites. I'm going To share the links in the next lesson, a lot of links from different websites, high competition websites and low competition or new websites and you are going to love it, try to compare different websites and see which suits you better Okay.

Now, most of the freelancers, they get a lot of problems when they are starting out in their career. Okay, so the first tip I am going to give you is that when you are going to start your career as a freelancer try to start with Fiverr or Upwork. Okay? Now Fiverr is basically or small gigs like $5. So try to post multiple small gigs on Fiverr. Okay.

Don't offer a very big service like if you are offering something which takes you like three hours or maybe five hours to do and you are doing it for $5 then you are wasting your time, okay? So try to create small MVP minimum viable product, okay. So minimum Viable Product means that it is going to serve it is the smallest viable product. Okay, so you have a very small gig which is complete and add some extra add ons to it that are really, you know, useful, okay? So just design a logo with a PNG file for $5 then you can add you want Illustrator file or source files for that logo, then you are going to charge $50 more, okay, so this is how you can create your gigs on Fiverr. Okay, now the second thing, which a lot of new freelancers do very badly is that they start applying on each job without thinking okay, so try to apply only on jobs that suits you and you can easily do that and you you are confident about it, okay?

So don't you know, barge in and start boosting jobs. Okay, I need a job. I need a job. Okay, so this is wrong. On Upwork we have a limited number of jobs. So you can apply to like 20 total jobs in a limited time.

Okay, so don't waste all your application limit in one day okay? On Upwork Upwork is a very big website Elance and Upwork basically merged together so there is a lot of cheap jobs and small fix a jobs. So in the start of your career, try to apply for fixed rate small jobs and if you are applying for an hourly rate, then make sure that your hourly rate is good because it will be reflected in your profile. Also, if your client is reluctant, try to give him two hours free Okay, so let him test you for a few hours to build his confidence or her confidence. No coming to the high paying freelance websites which are very top websites and I don't recommend beginner freelancers to even try to get an account on those websites. Okay.

These are very Very high paying top Freelancer websites like top towel or gmail.io which is good for developers. If you are in the middle of your career and or you are very expert in any topic like maybe designing or user experience or maybe a development then you should try to get attention of these websites. Okay. So if you are just stood on top all I think your minimum hourly rate starts from I think $40 Okay, now, these are really great websites and this screening and tests are really difficult. Okay, so first, they have like two or three interviews for each applicant and first this type of screen you on Skype, and then they ask you a lot of interview questions face to face. They are good to get your programming or design methodologies.

Okay. So before applying to these websites prepare good for their interview questions. I am going to share a lot of resources regarding these interview questions. So I'm going to share a lot of interview questions which top towel asks to all their applicants for different positions. So make sure you check those links. So this is all about different freelancing job websites, they are high paying websites, they are low competition and high competition websites.

Avoid high competition in the start and also in the start of your career. You cannot go with top towel or very high paying freelance websites. So stick with small jobs, you can do them very quickly, like in half an hour in this way that your time is not going to be wasted. Okay. So this is all if I have more tapes or more websites I'm going to share with you keep on checking the links. I am going to create a very big file for all the websites I'm finding and they are really good.

Okay, so keep checking all the links all the interview questions later. And stay tuned and if you have any questions asked me so let's move on to the next lesson.
