How to Succeed as a Freelancer

[Golden9]

Freelancing is one of the most popular ways to earn money online. The greatest benefit for most people is that you are independent and only answerable to your present client and you can work remotely.

The common freelancing sites, Fiverr and Upwork have become competitive though, even for those with advanced skills in their various niches. Beginners have it even harder. How can someone survive and excel then?

It is not easy to earn as a freelancer because I have tried it before and I failed. But the only way that I know that one can make it is if he has some samples of his work. Because clients will want to see this before they give work to anybody

I am a freelancer working in translation. I didn't join any online translation site. Their pay is not attractive. I do my job offline on Word. I sent my translation document to clients via email. Apart from trying to excel in my translation skills, one major challenge is to build a stable customer base. I'm glad that I have some very loyal clients who come to me whenever they need someone to do translation.
