I have signed up on a website called Translatorsbase.com. They send me several job requests that fit my criteria, but if I want to take the job, it says I must purchase full membership, which is $129 a year. How do I know this is not a scam?

no, does not make sense

I am willing to work for a very nominal fee.I want the job for more pocket money and experience but i dont know where to look for.Please help!

U can do home based job thru internet. I am also doing home based data conversion job. To get this job u should be resident of India and proficient in ms word.

I want to win a job on Elance.com. I just started so I have no previous work listed on the site but have a good portfolio from 2 previous employers I posted. I just need to start somewhere.

Should I try offering my services for dirt cheap just to get experience as a freelancer (say $50 for a logo design) or $7-8 /hr. I am a great designer but can’t seem to win a bid. I also might try to guarantee my work.

$7-8???!!! Damn man, that’s close to minimum wage. Don’t undersell yourself. A lot of newer designers think they can win jobs by undercutting prices on the competition, but this can work against you.

Professionals know that designers cost money, and the really good ones cost alot (and rightfully so), but when they see your prices they may be thinking that nobody who knows what they’re doing and has confidence in their work would charge so little.

If you think about it…it makes sense. Say you went shopping for a car and a listing in the paper said "2009 Ford Mustang – never been driven……$100 bucks". Sounds to good to be true, and things like that usually are. That may be what’s scaring potential clients from your service.

Don’t forget, you have a specialized skill that demands fair compensation, and while it may feel counter-intuitive to charge good money for your work, that’s what you should be doing. You’ll be doing yourself and our profession a favor.

I live in Indiana and I am being laid off from a full time position so I will be eligible for unemployment. Until I find a new full-time job, can I look for freelance work? I understand I have to report all work/wages I would earn from freelancing (and it would most likely be deducted from my unemployment benefits) but is it okay to freelance since in essence I would be self employed?

as long as you report all income yes you can

i know only net surfing, emails,copypasting and typing. my typing has no speed. dont know msword.
will u be king enough to help this old man find some legitimate freelance job without investment,to earn some mney to my medical expenses?

Make a free blog at blogger about something you are good at or truly interested in, and than put adsense on it, bring people to your blog, each time your ads get clicked you’ll earn money. I can assure that you will love working on it. If you want more info let me know.

I’ve been doing freelance work for a local newspaper for the past six months, but I’m not sure if that counts as me being "currently employed" for the sake of job applications. Should I say "yes," and if so, should I put myself as the employer? What should I put for salary info, hours worked, etc. I’m so confused! Help!

you are self-employed, it counts and should be used presuming you have a good relationship currently. list the hours you do work, don’t focus on the salary, let the recruiting process establish that. best of luck!

im a student in a Tech college majoring in Graphic Design. Wehre can I find a freelance design job? =/

Good question, there are a number of resources online to get started, graphic designer Jacob Cass of Just Creative Design has a great article outlining the many avenues you can take to getting freelance gigs while in school, it’s called "How and where to get paid freelance work while you are still a design student: you should check it out. Branded Designers is a blog that gives you marketing advice on your design portfolios and styleapple.com is launching a site this month to help showcase your work giving you maximum exposure to potential clients. Hope this helps.

Does that mean he’ll have to pay his employer for work?I’m confused.

I think what you’re asking is, how does it work when people have to put in bids for a job.

For example, my firehouse needs a new roof. We ask for bids from companies. Company A bids $10,000. Company B bids $12,000. What that means is, Compay A will perform the work if we pay them $10,000, and Company B will do the job if we pay them $12,000. We would go for the lowest bid, Company A, and we would pay them $10,000 for the new roof.

Does that help?

It’s 36 miles round trip. Can I claim all of that times the number of days I go to work?

Thanks for your help.

If this is a second job and you drive from the first one to the second one you can deduct the one-way miles from the first to the second. Otherwise it’s not deductible.
