The Internet is full of advertisements about fabulous online earnings. At the same time, people who have no experience in online business do not know where to start in order to earn their first money without getting caught in the scammers' networks. How do you get started on the Internet in order to truly succeed?
Instructions
Step 1
Determine for yourself how many hours a week you are willing to devote to work and how seriously you intend to take it. To make decent money on the Internet, you need to invest a lot of effort and time. There is no easy money on the Internet, and if you are promised a solid income in a couple of months with a couple of hours of work a day, this is certainly a hoax.
Step 2
Having decided on the time costs, you can proceed directly to the search for the type of activity and vacancies. On the Internet, in fact, there are three possible types of employment: freelancing, that is, fulfilling one-time orders and providing services to a wide range of clients, remote work and your own online business.
Step 3
Remote work is closest to traditional office activity. You enter into a mutual cooperation agreement with a company and work full or part-time for a specified salary, performing well-defined responsibilities, while you are at home and working on your computer. This type of employment is becoming more common and it is relatively easy to find a suitable vacancy. The main problem is the presence or absence of the required professional qualities and skills.
Step 4
Freelancing is a great way to generate income by completing one-time orders. It is most suitable for people who do not want to commit themselves to a tight schedule or cooperation with only one company. However, there are pitfalls here. It is necessary to constantly look for new clients, to maintain established contacts.
Step 5
You can find potential employers and customers on freelance exchanges. The most famous of them are Free-Lance.ru, Weblancer.net, Revolance.ru, FreelanceJob.ru, Webpersonal.ru. When working with the exchange, you will need to create your account. To be perceived as a serious professional, you should not choose logins such as "Pupsik92", "SuperNyashka" and the like when registering on the exchange. They sound cute and funny, but they are definitely not suitable for serious collaboration. It is better to use either your real name or choose a decent-sounding pseudonym.
Step 6
After registering a profile, you need to take care of your portfolio. There is no direct personal communication with the employer on the Internet, so your portfolio will become your face. Even if at the moment you do not have any successful projects, you should try to describe your capabilities and professional skills. Do not exaggerate your skills, and even more so do not write a deliberate lie. Experience and successfully completed work will come with time, and it is extremely difficult to restore a tarnished reputation.
Step 7
The last thing that needs to be done from the preparatory work is to create electronic wallets for cash settlements and, preferably, an account in some kind of offline bank. The most common electronic payment systems in Russia are WebMoney and Yandex. Money. Better to create wallets in both systems and use them as appropriate.
