Freelance Writer

Are you like paying to work for someone :S

1) You go thru the list of available works on the job boards. The work is usually called project.
2) You examine the project requirements and select one that you can deliver the result of.
3) You briefly describe your interest and your experience, delivery time, etc in your bid response.
4) You mention your fee (it can be hourly or a fixed cost basis – however it is usually specified by the buyer) Sometimes there is a minimum and maximum allowed bid value.
5) If the buyer is interested in you – s/he will communicate via the site’s message board. Usually most of the freelance sites do not allow you to communicate with buyer/seller directly before project is offered to the seller. Some job board will even ban you if you post your contact details on your bid. so be careful in this regard.
6) You can continue communicating with buyer using the job board. You can even negotiate the bid value or delivery time or the technology etc. If everything goes alright you will be offered the job.
7) Some freelance sites have an escrow system in place. So buyer can put the bid money to the freelance site’s account. You should feel comfortable with that because your payment is now guaranteed if you successfully complete the project requirements.
So finish the project in time. If the duration is long, communicate often. If possible daily to let the buyer know about progress. If require do some interim review of the output and allow the buyer to give some feedback on your work. After project is offered to you you can usually communicate via other medium like chat, email – but check your site’s rule first.
9) After completion buyer will transfer the escrowed money to your account.

That’s how bidding on freelance jobs work.

To answer, whether I like paying to work for someone – Yes, I am a freelancer and I like to help business and individuals.

I want a work-from-home job in the Netherlands–writing, editing or proofreading. Where can I find access to these jobs without having to pay a website?

Try these, not sure if you can work from home, but at least it’s a start! (Next time try to post your question in a more suitable section; London is not the place to look for a job in NL!)

Good luck with your search!

I have experience of more than two years and i want to work as a freelance writer. Please suggest me something i will be grateful….i am in need…..plz

You could do affiliate work or write an ebook about something you know then sell it.
There’s some people who make you a professional page for it for just $10 but I don’t DARE posting a link to them as some so called Top Contributors are deleting anything with links (and not!), so I suggest you get off the site and use google.
when you get going you can write more ebooks and keep on selling them, it’s a good
method and eventually you will have a portfolio of ebooks.
Make sure there are links in them with a linkback to your selling page so people might buy more.
Never overprice them, a couple of $ is a good price to get started..
