Now more and more specialists are changing their heated place in the office for work at home. This kind of work is called freelancing. There are some rules to make earning at home more comfortable and profitable.
Instructions
Step 1
Choosing a direction of work. Freelance has a lot of areas - design, website development, writing articles, writing music, etc. First you need to correctly identify the activity in which you feel good and can earn.
Step 2
Learn to plan. Now your boss is just yourself. You need to be able to competently distribute the time of work and time for rest. Also plan your income and expenses. Set aside time for self-development. Freelancing income can be unstable, and a free schedule is quite relaxing.
Step 3
Always be polite. When offering your services, always be correct and polite. If you need to refuse orders that are unfavorable for you, do it in the correct form. If force majeure happens, be sure to inform about it and agree on the possibility of postponing the dates.
Step 4
If you took a job - do it at the proper level. In no case should you justify your low-quality work with a small budget, which was offered by the customer. There are often different situations when there are many offers, you need to choose the most profitable one. When there are no offers at all, you have to take work for a meager pay. Remember that you create your own image and it is simply unprofessional and indecent for you to condition the decline in the quality of your work by the fact that you did not have enough time or you did not like the topic. After all, you knew perfectly well what you were undertaking.
Step 5
Don't be afraid to ask for decent wages for your work. The relationship between a freelancer and a customer is based on a relationship of trust and a contractual basis. If you have confidence in your abilities and qualifications, then adequately evaluate your work, ask for the price for which you are ready to do it, do not underestimate your merits too much.
Step 6
Always learn. Freelancing means constant development and self-improvement. The better you are as a specialist, the more profitable orders you can take. You can master as your profession by constantly listening to relevant trainings and seminars, asking for advice from more experienced ones. You can also study another profession in parallel. The more versatile skills you have, the higher the demand for your work.
Step 7
Register your activity as an individual entrepreneur. Any country has legal and formal-state relations. If you switched to freelancing, then for the state you are an unemployed person and it does not matter how much you earn from remote work. Once you have registered your business and received a certificate of your own activity, you become a legitimate entrepreneur and then many issues are much easier to solve. It is never superfluous to receive insurance contributions for retirement.
