5 Ways You Can Do To Make Money From Home
# 1 Searching for Job Vacancies from the Online Freelancer Marketplace Site
Similar to working full-time, for those of you who want to start working from home, you can also find job vacancies from the marketplace site for freelancers.
The following is an example of a marketplace that you can use to find online jobs for freelancers in Indonesia.
In this marketplace, there are many types of jobs that can be easily found. Such as graphic design, writer, translator, and even website creation.
I. Task Culture
This website is a marketplace where most often used by freelancers in Nigeria
Many job options have been installed on the marketplace so that they can be selected according to client needs.
To get clients or jobs, you can pitch yourself. Make a clear and complete profile of yourself so that you can compete with other freelancers, if necessary, add a video.
Also, make a reasonable offer and tie it to the skills and portfolio you have.
If you are selected, the prospective client will pay a fee for your work through Task Culture and Fiverr (depending on the marketplace you are using). After that, then you can start your work, according to the request submitted by the client.
After the work is done and the client likes it, the payment will be forwarded to your account. So there's no need to be afraid of work but not getting paid, huh.
II. Tips and Tricks to Get a Job on the Freelancer's Marketplace
For those of you who are still confused about how to get a potential client to trust us, here are tips and tricks that you can apply when registering as a freelancer in various marketplaces especially task culture.
A. Fix Rate
What differentiates between novice freelancers and experienced freelancers is the profile rate. The more often he gets a job and the better his work results, this rate will certainly convince clients to accept him in the job that will be given.
It's the same as when we want to buy goods online through an online shopping marketplace. Surely besides seeing the low prices, we are also looking for info about the shop, right? From the selling rate, reviews, or feedback from buyers.
B. Create a Convincing Profile
By knowing that worker rates are important, all you have to do as a beginner is to update and complete the complete data profile.
The goal, namely as branding and portfolio. By completing your personal profile data, it will make you look like a transparent worker.
C. Make Offers For Easy Jobs
Making lots of offers doesn't mean your chances of getting a job are getting bigger, especially if you bid in the wrong way.
Besides that, if you really accept it, and ironically you don't have the ability to be able to do the job.
So from there, if you are a beginner when it comes to freelancers in the marketplace, look for easy, low-paying jobs too. because this type of job is more intended for new freelancers with less high competition.
Don't prioritize getting high income first, but build good branding and rates so you can get a decent job in the future.
D. Don't Humble Yourself by Offering Lower Prices
Choosing a job that is easy and inexpensive to do, doesn't mean you have to lower the price as low as possible to get the job.
For example, in a job, the client charges 100,000 for the cost of completing the job. There, you can indeed set the bid price lower or higher than the price offered.
Lowering prices is indeed the right strategy so you can get a job. However, if it is too low, you will feel unmotivated to do it yourself.
E. Complete the Work Responsibly
In completing work, you will be given a deadline for working on a project. Try after the job is approved, you immediately do it as soon as possible.
Report the progress of job creation every day so that clients know that you are working on the job.
Don't hesitate to ask clients about the terms or important points in the work on a project.
Because, it would be better if you revised it now than when it was finished, but it had to be revised again because it was not in accordance with the initial provisions of the client.
# 2 Seek Opportunities By Entering Design Contests or Contests
In this contest or design competition platform, there are hundreds of projects per month that you can participate in.
Here, you also don't need to spend time completing your profile or portfolio, like you do in the freelancer marketplace.
Apart from that, you can also send your designs directly to clients who have contests. However, keep in mind if you enter this contest or competition, if your design is not selected, then you will not get paid.
Each contest is usually attended by 50 other designers and only one designer will be selected. sometimes clients will choose more than one, but this is quite rare.
To work around this, if you have made a design for the contest but didn't win, you can sell your design on the digital asset marketplace, which will be explained later in the next discussion.
Typically, design contests are divided into rounds. Each round, the client will ask for a revision according to his direction.
Therefore, it is important for you to read the client's brief well.
In the first round, you don't need to make a perfect design, the majority of the designers will provide a basic concept, and then it will be refined in each revision round.
If you want to take part in this contest, you have to register on the marketplace, then you have to take a test that will be given by each marketplace.
Basically, you will be given a brief to make a design which will then be reviewed by staff from the marketplace, whether the design you made meets the brief or not.
# 3 Creating Digital Works and Selling to Digital Marketplaces
As previously explained, you can also sell your designs on the digital asset marketplace on task culture.
But actually, what is a digital marketplace?
If you have digital works, such as designs, ebooks, videos, or even music and audio. You can also sell them on digital specialist marketplaces. Then clients will usually buy your work through the marketplace.
However, to be able to sell your work on the marketplace, your digital work must pass the manual screening stage first. You could say, the products available in the digital marketplace are quality products.
Meanwhile, digital marketplaces that have been widely used by many people are:
- Task Culture
- Envato Market
- Shutterstock (for photographers)
- GettyImage
# 4 Become an App or Website Tester
When a company wants to launch its newly developed application, of course, they need quality assurance software or tester software.
A tester is responsible for planning quality assurance, the absence of bugs (errors), conducting analysis, and reporting when the tester has collected bugs that occur in the application, through two commonly used methods, namely manual testing, and automation testing.
However, to become a software tester, of course, you also need skills to master the programming language.
Because when you do work as a software tester and use the automation testing method, you will use a script to find out how many bugs have occurred in the system.
# 5 Full Time Investor
One more job that can be done at home is an investor. As long as you have a gadget and the internet, you can easily access stocks or sites where you invest money.
Job as an investor will be very promising if you are able to maximize it and take every opportunity that exists.
Example: Warren Buffett managed to amass most of his wealth through his ability as an investor when he was only 13 years old.
Of course, the income you get through working as an investor will not be limited, depending on your ability to analyze. The more skilled you are at analyzing, the greater the opportunities for passive income, and the benefits that can be achieved.
Investing is not as complicated or scary when we make it happen. Besides that, you can also enjoy a compounding effect that emphasizes the concept of flowering flowers.
