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?

You just have to have the right skills as a freelancer to be able to make money. You have to have your portfolio of work to show any clients

Thank you for the question! Succeeding as a freelancer really depends on the type of work you do and the industry you're in. That said, there are a few key things that can help you succeed in any field.

First, make sure you are able to network and establish yourself as an expert in your field. This could mean attending industry events, joining professional organizations, and engaging with other freelancers.

Second, be sure to market yourself and your services. This could mean creating a website, blog, or social media presence to showcase your work and let potential clients know about the services you offer.

Third, stay organized and be professional. Make sure you have a system for tracking your work hours, invoicing, and managing projects. This will help you build a good reputation with your clients.

Finally, make sure you communicate with your clients and stay on top of deadlines. This will ensure that you maintain a positive relationship with them and keep them happy.

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.

You need some level of consistency if you want to become successful as a freelancer. You also need to post your gigs on social media platforms.

I believe that to be a successful freelancer you must be in constant development and learn skills which are valued to be able to sell them, also as some users comment on consistency and dedication is essential

Exactly, a freelancer must be ambitious and that must lead him to be in constant evolution and development and that includes learning new skills or perfecting the ones he already has if he wants to earn more money or sell them at a decent cost.

In order to become a successful freelancer, you need skills in multiple disciplines. You also need to be very patient because you cannot become successful overnight.

If you want to succeed as a freelancer, you must be able to deliver your jobs at agreed time. We get that you are on charge of your affairs but that doesn't mean we don't have to build reputation.

Probably, that's actually one of the major attributes of any freelancer. You must try as much as possible to deliver your jobs on time to be trusted.

Freelancing have become very competitive that it is difficult for a newbie to breakthrough. A newbie will be strong and know that the journey is not for the fainthearted. The second stage is to use the strategy of underpriced to win over new clients. Some clients will definitely like to give a newbie without reviews a trial.

Freelancing is better ways to generate money. You can become rich by engaging in freelancing. But you must be skillful before you can be paid.
it is very important to be skillful if you want to make reasonable amount of money from freelancing. But you want to also learn how to market your skills.

Yes.o. That is only the short cut to the success on online business. If you don't have skills, you will only be earning stipend incomes like this PTPs incomes.
