to share his knowledge and expertise? Or a mere student who would like
to be independent to support his studies?
Or a team of experts with
the goal to gain for value and profit? Or someone who wanted to set up a
home business, a micro entrepreneur and who would like to be his own
boss? Or are you the one who would like to change his career path or
would like to have some sort of career break? Or simply someone who
would like to have additional work and bonus income?

earning through freelancing is one of the ways to increase household or
individual income.
Earning by freelancing can be your chance to achieve your vision,
your dream and a decent way to gain extra income. This can even become a
source of your full time earnings.
What is freelancing and freelancer?
Before, freelancing work is not so popular and not given any worth at
all. Others perceive freelancer as person with no stable job and who do
job hopping and hunting from one place to another. In short, no value.
Nowadays, in electronic media and eCommerce development, freelancing
is already a “word of mouth”. There is a better connotation today when a
freelancer says he belongs to this category. Freelancing is in stratum
to compete with corporate giants earning competitively in a blink of an
eye.
Others term it as outsourcing skilled and talented people in
the project needed by client or buyer. The people in this kind of work
are labeled as freelancer, freelance, freelance worker, independent
contractor and the like.
The freelancer, the person who is doing freelancing activity, is a
self-employed status and has no employee-employer relationship. This is
based on mutually agreed arrangement and can be done either verbal or
written form stating the requirement of the client including:
- the type of work to be done
- the deadline
- the payment of a certain piece or specified work
- the ways to pay the freelancer
- and other specific details of a sale or contract
Other freelancers may even require proposal with quotations and
deposits from the clients before pursuing the project. They may charge
by the hour, day, on a per-project basis, or per piece rate. Some
freelancers tried a value-based pricing on the perceived worth of the
outputs to the client.
It is a common practice to pay fractional fee on
the onset as a downpayment or lump sum amount upon finishing the
project. For longer period and complex projects, a payment schedule
based on results is used which is most common in consulting jobs, where a
phase by phase billing is more applicable.
Freelancing in a way is selling skills, talents and expertise with
the desired result for a certain buyer or client. Freelancing can also
be illustrated as the freelancer providing solutions to client’s
problem/s. To optimize the freelancer’s results, one should focus on
his own specializations in order to be effective and efficient.
Freelancers are represented by several companies to negotiate on their behalf who at the same time resell their capabilities to the potential clients.
The influence of internet revolutionized the word freelancing into a
much detailed explanation, highfalutin terminologies in corporate world
such as telecommuting, online outsourcing, offline outsourcing,
crowdsourcing and business process outsourcing.

increase quality of the product or service and to save fund. In short,
this will make the company become more productive and effective as an
enterprise. At the same time, the receiver or the freelancer will gain
income and experience, too.

They can also earn money faster and more frequent than permanent or
regular employees in a given period with the same kind of work. This is

ability, connections and track record.
