Have you heard a lot of people earning tons and tons of money by writing on the web? Hmmm, it’s freaking everybody out especially those who have been doing online job and yet they are stuck with earning about $50-$100 a month.
I am going to share something to you that will really make your mind bubbles! This is a trade secret that not every other people out in the Internet know! So here it goes…
First, it’s all about cheap rate and volume. If you are going to compete with native English speakers or the Indians and you don't have superb English skills, then you have to go with cheap rate and volume. What good a $10 per article is? If you it takes ages for 1 article to be approve and it only happen once in a blue moon? Yes, 1 article is $10 is quite big and all you need to write is 10 articles to get $100 but you can get the same amount if write 50 articles in $100, rate $2 per article. Good news is client will be more willing to pay you $100 in one go and he gets 50 articles out of it.
You put yourself within the client’s shoes. For sure, you will be more willing to pay a writer who is willing to write 50 articles for $100 compared to getting 10 articles at $10 rate, right? You get more out of your money. This is the principle that has been swirling around the minds of those Internet marketers and web developers. The more, the merrier as they say!
Second is getting more clients to earn more money. How about if you earn $100 from one client, and another $100 from another client? What about 10 clients? You will have a whooping $1,000 in 1 month. However, you need to write 500 articles in 1 month. Can you keep up with the volume?
This is where the third secret comes into the picture. Outsourcing! Yes, you outsource your projects to writers who are willing to write at $1 or $0.75 per article. Be very weary though, you might end up getting crappy articles from newbie writers. It’s either you write the big volume of articles or outsource it to countries like India and Philippines. The choice is all up to you!
Writing is such a lucrative job if you do it the freelance way! You get tons and tons of clients left and right and you will get more money out of it. You will never get more money if you are hired by one client and you are bound to write 10 articles a day for 6 days a week and paid $250 monthly. You do the math, you will definitely get more if you have 10 clients compare to one client.

My First 500 Bucks in GAF
This is one of the biggest secret I have to revealed about my freelance work. So get ready!
Earning 500 bucks through freelance work is as easy as 1-2-3. Yes, all you need to do is have the skill, have a client and do the work equals dollars!
I have my first taste of freelance work on my own with no intermediary or middle man through GAF it is an acronym for get a freelancer dot com. Clients and freelancers from different parts of the globe flock into this site to get what they want.
First freelance work? Being a captcha encoder. The server was quite slow yet I earned a couple of dollars for. Not that much but at least I have a taste of doing it on my own and eventually got the chance to talk to the client and not someone else.
It has always been my frustration especially when it comes to writing. I really do want to write and be famous for my work. I tried my luck on bidding projects for copywriting, for the first few bids I lost but when I had my first writing project and finish it...projects are coming in. All it takes its just that one project, one client to believe in me that I can do the job and as they all say, the rest is history.
I have been with GAF for 1 year and 1 month. So far so good. I did a lot of projects but most of them are more on writing. I can't say I have perfect grammar and use words that can be found on the thesaurus. Na! I am not that type of a writer. I just write articles in manner that can be understood by many whatever age, race or gender the readers might be in.
$30 per project, $60 per project, then $100, last one I hit big was a $400 project. WoW! I was pretty amazed on how my talent can bring me all of these earnings while sitting in front of the computer.
I must say of all the freelance sites I have joined, I sticked with GAF and will never choose any other sites.

Homebased Jobs right on Craigslist
I came across to Craigslist on a bidding site. A service buyer was looking for someone to do some postings on Craigslist. When I was looking on the site, there are many service buyers who are looking for someone to do the same task.
I was intrigued ofcourse, to my curiousity...I search Craigslist on the net and found the url for it. It was an online classifieds. Which is similar to an online classifieds based locally in my place. I was having a look around and saw the job listings. I went to the writing/editing jobs and found many posts there looking for writers.
I applied, with nothing but my college degree and an experience in data entry. That's it! Of all the companies, entrepreneurs I have submitted my resume to--one responded and liked my sample eventually hired me as his writer.
I became a writer that day (that was about 3 years ago). Earning my first salary through that writing job was so darn cool!
Craigslist? What about it? Craigslist is somewhat a localized online classifieds. You can have your very own Craigslist of your own locality, city, or country. The choices of homebased jobs are endless.
I tried my luck once, I am from the Philippines, I applied for a writing job for a company based in Texas. I found his ad right on US Craigslist particularly Texas. I never thought he was going to reply to my application and hired me as a writer. He even told me, he was glad that I applied to his posting.
You can go beyond your locality or country, in order to get a homebased job. I just tried my luck that day and ofcourse, there were many qualified individuals who are native English speakers who were more deserving to have that job yet I have beaten them all, and got the position. Not bad knowing that I am a full-blooded Filipino residing in the Philippines.
Try your luck as well. Go to Craigslist.org, choose the country, then city you want to search for homebased jobs and start applying.
Here are most of the homebased jobs you can find in Craigslist:
1. Appointment Setter
2. Virtual Assistant (an online secretary)
3. Homebased Call Center Agent (inbound/outbound)
4. Web programmer
5. Web developer
6. Graphic designer
7. Data Encoder/Typist
Most of these jobs are paid on a per hour basis especially when you are going to US Craigslist. Others will be on a per month basis, 40 hours a week-- the usual style you can found on Philippines Craiglist.
The choices are endless and are within your reach. Start looking for your first homebased job now right on Craigslist!

Homebased Jobs - Where to Find Clients?
You have it all-- the skills, a good working computer, stable internet and the wits to win a client. But the problem is, where to get these clients that do pay?
Don't be deceived by those adverts with $250 per day on filling in forms, writing and etc., for sure most of these adverts are nothing but a bunch of trash and a waste of time and money. What do these adverts require? Money. Yes, you have to pay first before you can start working or get a job.
Does it sound right? You have to pay first, before you can start working. Kinda odd, but it's the reality. If you fall for their trap, you will just end up losing money and wasting time.
Where do you get clients? Where else but on the Internet ofcourse.
You can choose either on online classifieds or bidding sites. With online classifieds, it is free. All you have to do is have the email of the company hiring and send in your resume. That's it!
Bidding sites? Some are free, some do require monthly payment in order to maximize the benefits of being a member. All you need to remember, you are competing with other bidders in terms of rates and skills. Most likely the bidder who gave the lowest bid and showcase an above average skills will definitely be the winner.
The choice is up to you... online classifieds or bidding sites.

Homebased Jobs - Building your Portfolio
Before you start sending in your CVs to a job posting on an online classifieds or start bidding, make sure you build up a good portfolio to showcase to your potential clients. In homebased jobs, establishing who you are and what you are capable of doing are the key factors that will lead you to success.
Especially for newbies, you cannot get any project especially when what you only have in hand is your CV that you usually use to apply for a traditional job.
How to build your very own portfolio? It all depends on what your skills are. If you want to apply for a writer, make sure you have a sample article or might as well have a blog that will showcase your talent in writing and how well-versed you are with the English language. If you are into web development, having your very own website will do the trick.
Most likely a newbie will never get noticed not as long experience wised... the newbie has a lot to offer compared to other applicants or bidders. It is a very tight game for almost everyone who wants to have a career on homebased jobs.
Remember, you are selling your services to your potential clients. They want to see what are you capable of and if you have what it takes to render the services in consonance with their standards. Make sure that you have an updated portfolio every now and then. Having homebased job is a matter of having a very good sales pitch for the services that you are trying to offer and skills.
