Freelance projects. The best jobs for a beginner freelancer. For design and drawing

31.12.2020

This page presents the best freelance exchanges and sites where you can find remote work on the Internet to your liking or find a contractor to work on your projects (orders). Exchanges can be used by both beginners and experienced users, performers and customers ...

Freelance exchange: what is it?

A freelance exchange or a remote work exchange is an Internet site that brings together customers and contractors, and the exchange itself acts as an intermediary and guarantor of a safe transaction between the parties.

All freelance exchanges are united by a common goal - to help customers find contractors to complete various projects (orders, tasks), and contractors, in turn, help them find remote work to earn money.

Remote work exchanges are convenient because you are not tied to a specific workplace. If you have a laptop with Internet access at hand, then you can be anywhere and at the same time fulfill or place orders.

To find a remote job or a performer, you need to register on the freelance services exchange, fill out the profile (portfolio, questionnaire) in detail with data "about yourself" and use the remote job search (for performers) or create a project for freelancers (for customers).

Are freelance exchanges free? Paid account

As a rule, freelance exchanges use in their work such a thing as a PRO-account (paid account or subscription). This is a necessary measure to maintain the quality of freelance services at the proper level, develop the service, and, of course, this is the income of the creators of freelance exchanges.

Note. A PRO account allows freelancers to use all the features of the exchange, increase their rating, get access to all orders and, accordingly, increase their earnings.

This approach may seem counterintuitive - why should a freelancer pay anyone else? However, this will also allow you to weed out unscrupulous and frivolous performers who can let customers down. This means that in order to fully use the freelance exchange, you need to buy a subscription or a VIP / PRO account.

Of course, you don't have to, and you don't have to buy anything. On many freelance exchanges, you can get started without purchasing a paid subscription, but if you are serious about working remotely and collaborating with any freelance exchange, then a paid account is a must for you.

Will the freelance exchange be deceived? Safe Deal

Will the customer pay for the work performed? Will the performer perform the work properly - qualitatively and on time? In order for the transaction between the customer and the contractor to go through without fraud from any of the parties on the freelance exchanges, the service " safe transaction".

In a nutshell about a safe transaction and guarantees.

Guarantee of payment to the contractor. The customer creates an order and pays a certain amount (deposit) for its payment to his account (account) in the exchange, while amount reserved. The contractor takes the order to work, and upon completion it hands it over to the customer. The customer accepts the work and the reserved amount is automatically credited to the contractor.

Money back guarantee to the customer. In the event that the contractor did not complete the work or performed it poorly (not according to the customer’s requirements specification, for example), and even missed the deadlines, then the allocated amount for the project is returned to the customer.

Note. You can find detailed information on how a secure transaction works on freelance exchanges. Any disputes are referred to the arbitration of the exchange.

List of freelance exchanges

There are quite a lot of Internet sites providing freelance services - you can find dozens or even hundreds of projects.

Which freelance exchange should a contractor choose?

Why am I focusing on "performer"? This is because it is more difficult for performers, and not for customers, to find "their" exchange.

It is quite difficult to decide among the many remote sites. Which freelance exchange to choose? Which one to give preference? On which exchange can you really make money?

After studying the reviews on the Internet, I concluded that the ideal freelance exchange does not exist. There are both good and bad reviews about a particular service ... But as they say, you won't know until you try.

One way or another, the following tips and tricks will help you choose an exchange:

You must know exactly what you will be doing, that is, what kind of work on freelance exchanges you can perform qualitatively and on time, depending on your capabilities, knowledge, skills, experience;
A freelancer needs one or two (maybe three) exchanges that can load him with work. There is no need to chase quantity, it will be difficult to earn a reputation as an honest and reliable performer on several exchanges at once. Account promotion is not a simple and fast business;
Regarding the choice of freelance exchange. Pay attention to the popularity of the site, find out whether it pays, and also whether the exchange will provide you with the necessary amount of work, whether it works through a safe transaction.

This concludes the article, and I wish you to find "your" freelance exchange.

Successes to you, Patience and Good luck!

Sincerely,

20May

A special type of employment in which you do not need to officially get a job and carry out instructions from superiors in work time, since in this direction everyone decides independently with whom to cooperate and what services to offer to customers. For some, this is simple, while for other citizens it is a stable, good income.

Who are freelancers

Some still do not even know who a freelancer is. Translated from English, “freelancer” is a free specialist who works for himself via the Internet.

He himself is looking for a customer, and also decides what work to do and sets a work schedule. Freelancers can work with one or several customers at once.

In most cases, among freelancers you can meet representatives of creative professions. Although recently, engineers, consultants, teachers and many others have been engaged in remote work.

There are, of course, stars who have and receive more than 100,000 rubles a month. Everything is real - the main thing is to work hard and go towards your dream.

Just don't expect that you can basic knowledge translate the article using an online translator. Customers only want quality work.
. This unknown word is well known to those who deal with them. This is very good profession with high pay, which requires special care and experience.

As you can see, there are many directions, so anyone can become a freelancer and start.

Why freelancing is becoming more and more popular

Why today more and more people choose remote freelancing, call it a trend and claim that it is the future? If you look closely, today pensioners and office workers become freelancers.

Probably, all the demand lies in the freedom of action and self-realization. Thanks to this destination, you no longer need to get up at 6 am, quickly run to work and ride on a crowded bus.

If at work you were told all the time what and how to do, then there are only the wishes of customers and complete freedom. What could be better? No bosses and envious employees, no fines for being late or not fulfilling the plan.

But do not forget that remote work is, in turn, an interesting job with which you can combine several areas at once and constantly develop. Working as the so-called "office plankton" it is hardly possible to get good skills and do what brings positive emotions.

Every person has hobbies. They can bring not only positive emotions, but also good money. There are a lot of directions in freelancing.

Freelancing pros and cons

As in any field, this area has its positives and negatives. Before you start working remotely, you should carefully study them. Let's start with the positives.

Freelance pros:

Free work schedule.

This is perhaps the most important thing that people who have chosen this area as their main job appreciate. You can decide for yourself how many days a week you work, which days you take days off and when you go on vacation.

The main thing is to complete the order on time. You can wake up and go to bed at a convenient time for you and not worry at all about having to get up on time.

Work at home.

What could be better than doing the work in cozy pajamas with a cup of aromatic tea? You no longer need to waste time on the road and communicating with unpleasant colleagues. Working from home, you are in a comfortable environment for yourself, next to your loved ones and decide for yourself with whom to communicate.

It doesn't matter where you live.

If you look at the level wages, then in large cities it is much higher than in small cities. At the same time, specialists are the same everywhere. This is the biggest disadvantage of regular work, since the salary depends on where you are geographically employed.

When it comes to freelancing, it doesn't matter where you live. You get paid solely for your ability.

This is the most pleasant thing that a freelancer has. It should be noted right away that the level of income here is unlimited. Your earnings will depend on the kind of work you do. In some areas, payment depends on the quantity of work performed, while in others it depends on the quality.

Quiet work.

Peace of mind is what many citizens value. No more nervous customers who will bother you and ask various questions. The same applies to nervous bosses, who often swear and load with useless work.

Opportunity to combine work and travel.

Some may think that you can't work and travel at the same time. Everything is real if you work as a freelancer. All you need to work is a computer or laptop with Internet access and some free time.

As mentioned earlier, any job has its drawbacks. Consider what they are in remote work.

Freelancing cons:

There is no fixed salary.

Many citizens have been accustomed to doing the same type of work and receiving a fixed salary for years. As for remote work, it is difficult to find an employer who will agree to pay a fixed salary for the work performed.

Search for customers.

You should not hope that you will simply register on the freelance exchange and orders will fall on you. You must look for customers yourself, apply and actively develop.

Freelance services:

Work-zilla- the best exchange!

If you want to find an order that you can quickly complete and receive funds, then this is a great exchange. A simple and intuitive interface will allow everyone to instantly get involved in the work and start earning.

Fl is one of the largest exchanges.

This is one of the largest remote work services. Every day a large number of free orders in different directions, good pay and friendly customers.

However, there is a small downside. To start earning good money, you will need to buy a Pro account, and these are additional investments that are sometimes unacceptable for a freelancer.

Etxt, Advego And Text.ru - the largest copywriting exchanges

These are trusted exchanges. Only here you can get a job there only in one direction. You can make money on the listed exchanges if you know how to write articles. These are the so-called rewriters and copywriters who write articles to order.

You can also find a regular customer today on special forums, in social network or groups.

How much do freelancers earn

How much can a freelancer earn? This is the most popular question that arises among all newcomers who decide to give up office work And .

It should also be taken into account that each field of activity has its own range of payment. The more useful information you know, the higher your payment will be. If in one direction the size depends on the number of completed tasks, then in the other direction it depends on the quality.

If you approach work responsibly and devote at least 8 hours to remote work, you can earn from 30,000 rubles or more. As for the beginner, the first time will be paid less. But you should not give up and you should always strive to move only forward, develop and receive more money.

As experienced freelancers advise, you should clearly understand how much you want to earn. The set plan will need to be divided by the number of your working days.

Is it a real amount for daily earnings? If yes, then everything is in your hands. The main thing is to strictly follow the task and do your job with high quality.

Today in freelancing you can meet a lot successful professionals who receive more than 100,000 per month. They share their achievements on the World Wide Web.

Most in-demand freelance professions

What are the directions, we have already briefly considered above. Consider which areas are the most in demand.

How to make money freelancing:

Graphics editor.

To expand client base well-designed promotional materials are needed: flyers, business cards, brochures, etc.

To do quality work, you need to be able to use graphic editors. And, of course, you need to be creative and follow the innovations that appear in the field of design.

A novice freelancer can get 500 rubles for developing a simple logo or leaflet.

Website developers.

Almost every company seeks help from specialists in order to create their own website. This is a well-paid field of activity that requires special knowledge.

It takes several weeks to complete the work, but you will be pleased with the payment. Creating an "empty" site without information costs an average of about 30,000 rubles. The cost of publications is negotiated separately.

Example. Do you have a shop selling cosmetics. To increase your customer base, you find a freelance developer who . But just creating a website is not enough, you need to correctly place information about each product.

The buyer must visually see what he is purchasing, study the characteristics and understand how much to pay. If new products appear, you will need to again seek help from a specialist and ask to publish the material for a fixed fee.

Developers of mobile applications or games.

What is a mobile application today even a schoolboy knows. Applications are ordered, as a rule, by cafes or online stores.

For development and creation. Some site owners order games that require investment.

Photographer.

This is a great direction that everyone can do. Just don't think it's enough to buy good camera and start taking pictures. If you set a goal, you will need not only to learn how to take high-quality pictures, but also to process them.

Every day, citizens use the services of photographers: weddings, children's parties, presentations or exhibitions. Some citizens simply ask to take some good shots in a special studio or in nature.

Videographers.

With the advent of YouTube, the attitude towards video content among marketers has changed a bit. If earlier they shot long videos about the company's activities, today they prefer short, well-edited videos.

Accountant.

Not all firms can afford to hire an accountant. But what if you need to prepare reports? In this case, you can use the services of a freelancer for a fixed fee.

At the same time, a remote accountant can keep records of several companies. What is most attractive is the persistence. You need to do quality work and then companies will contact you constantly. The vacancy of a remote accountant is not only in great demand, but also well paid.

Tutors.

This is a great direction if you can teach others something useful. Today, it is not necessary to personally meet with the client, since training can be conducted via Skype, and payment can be accepted by bank card or electronic wallet.

English tutors and musicians who can teach how to play the guitar will be able to make good money.

If you have thought carefully, clearly weighed all the advantages and disadvantages of remote work, and decided to set off on a free swim, then you should follow a few basic tips.

Tips to help a beginner at the beginning of their career growth:

Education.

No wonder they say that it's never too late to learn. Learn new material and development is always necessary, no matter what area you work in. Today, you can easily find training videos, thanks to which you can immediately understand how to work in the necessary program.

Do not forget that there are also many freelancers on the Internet who are ready to teach you for a fee. If you understand that paid courses will benefit you, then you should not save money and should purchase them.

Remember invested in knowledge cash help you make more money.

Do not look for expensive orders right away.

If you have just registered on the freelance exchange, then you should not immediately look for expensive orders. Customers are ready to pay well only to proven freelancers who already have a good portfolio, rating and positive reviews.

Forums.

To get as much useful information as possible, you should visit a special freelance forum. Today, each exchange has a forum where system participants share their knowledge.

Portfolio.

If you want clients to offer you a job, then you need to make a good portfolio. If you are a beginner, no problem. Start doing the work and gradually fill this section.

Improve constantly.

It must be remembered that there is no limit to perfection. Try to constantly follow the latest trends in the field in which you provide services. Constantly read professional books and communicate with more experienced colleagues.

Even if you are sure that you know everything, attend special courses. All this will help you become better and achieve greater success.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that freelancing is a very interesting area that is actively developing in Russia. More and more citizens prefer to do what they love, manage their own time and earn good money. Only with a strong desire can you achieve good results.

There is a lot of competition in freelancing, so it is difficult for beginners to break through from scratch. But this is quite real and there is no need to give up, frightened by the first failures. You just need to choose places to look for work wisely, and there will be enough orders for everyone.

To hone your skills, you should pay attention to exchanges for beginner freelancers, where you can understand the principle of work, declare yourself and get the first work in your portfolio. And then you can move on.

I won't go into details about who a freelancer is and what they do. Most likely you already know about it, and if not, follow the link and read a separate detailed article on this topic.

Before you go looking for the exchange of your dreams, you should decide on the direction of activity - jacks of all trades are appreciated, but usually their work is not as good as highly specialized freelancers. After all, if you do one thing for many years, you do it at an excellent level. So I recommend at least for the first time to choose a certain area: writer, designer, programmer, etc.

Before starting work, you should definitely gain knowledge in the chosen field. It's great if you have a programmer's education and have been working offline for a long time. Then you will not have problems with adaptation.

It is enough to write 2-3 sentences to stand out among the gray mass and attract the attention of the customer. Say hello, say goodbye, add a signature "with respect", add a phrase that shows your competence. Questions addressed to the customer work very well, but only relevant and showing your knowledge. There is no point in clarifying banal details and trying to make yourself smarter than the customer - this only repels.

I will not give the specific text of the answers, because the situations are different, but in any case, do not skimp on the signs in the response.

On many exchanges there is a ban on the exchange of contact information - do not violate! Even in private messages, do not drop mail, phone, skype, otherwise there is a risk of losing your account.

Wait for an answer. Basically, on the exchanges, the customer chooses the contractor within 2-3 days. You may be asked additional questions, asked to send examples in a certain style, clarify payment details, etc. If for 2 days there were no attempts to contact you, most likely the project was given or will be given to another person.

If you follow this simple path, you will have at least one order in a week. In the future, it all depends on your skill. But remember that another important point depends on the quality of the work performed - reviews. The more positive reviews on your account, the higher the chance of getting a job! So work from the very first order with high quality!

The best exchange for beginner freelancers

And now we have reached the list of the best exchanges for freelancers. Yes, I will not be able to single out one single exchange that could be recommended to everyone. Everywhere there are pros and cons to consider. I will try to mention all of them when I consider the options.

Most popular exchanges:

There are many other advanced exchanges where professionals live, but for now it is worth limiting yourself to this set. I recommend registering on 2-3 sites at once to increase the chances of success. And even better - all free. You still have nothing to lose, but you can look for orders in several places.

Text exchanges

I myself specialize in texts, so I can’t recommend trusted exchanges for designers or programmers. But I can say which freelance exchange for novice writers is the best - copylancer.com. Of course, this is just my opinion.

The main advantage of this exchange is that some orders are given to the first person who responds to the order. Also, for many tasks, the prices are quite good, and there are no 5-10 ruble orders. There is a convenient article store where you can sell your work "for free".

In addition, the following text exchanges can be noted:

text.ru;
advego.ru;
etxt.biz;
textsale.ru;
copylancer.ru.

When you get tired of fighting for every order, I recommend paying attention to my selection of sites where authors are required.

There are a lot of exchanges on the Internet for beginner freelancers, but almost everywhere there is huge competition, there are scammers and penny orders. It is very important to learn to see the pros, avoid the pitfalls and not give up. Over time, you will reach a new level and start

Many residents of Moscow want to become freelancers (remote workers) so as not to depend on one employer and work for their own pleasure, receiving decent remuneration for this. Freelance work is ideal for people of creative professions:

writers;
copywriters;
journalists;
designers;
photographers;
translators.

To become a freelancer in Moscow, you must:

1. Have high-speed Internet at home. Having round-the-clock access to the network, you can always be in touch with employers and will quickly complete the tasks assigned to you.

2. Decide what services you will provide. Freelancing is multifaceted, and therefore there is no need to choose a profession based on the principle of its demand in Moscow. Stop the choice in a business that you love and are well versed in.

3. Find out your value in the Moscow labor market. Since freelance work involves fighting numerous competitors in one area or another, you must clearly define your price in the labor market. You don’t need to evaluate your services fabulously expensive, but you shouldn’t work for a penny either.

4. Prepare a portfolio. There are many freelancers working in Moscow, and therefore you will have to make a lot of efforts to attract the attention of employers. To do this, be sure to prepare a portfolio of your work and post it on the Internet, for example, on a page on a social network.

5. Find customers. You can do this, again, with the help of the network by posting your resume there. In addition, be sure to register on freelance exchanges to simplify the search for orders.

Qualities of a remote worker

Freelancing is not for everyone. Much here depends on the person - his ability to complete tasks on time, self-organization. A freelancer must be active and responsible, perform quality work. If he earns a negative reputation, he will not be able to find customers in the future. It is important for a remote worker to monitor their rating, constantly improve their skills and correct previously made mistakes.

It was said above that a freelancer should be active, but this does not mean that he needs to work around the clock, not knowing the rest. With such a schedule, you will quickly “burn out”, you will not be able to cope with the tasks and devote time to loved ones.

To work as efficiently as possible, a person working remotely needs to determine the most productive period of the day. At this time, he needs to give his full attention to work, leaving social networks, closing news sites, browser games, etc. You can entertain yourself by doing the necessary amount of work.

Briefly about the benefits of freelancing

Any freelancer in Moscow will tell you that remote work means absolute freedom of action. Becoming a freelancer, you can independently organize the workflow, choose the time of rest and the volume of orders. In addition, remote work can be successfully combined with the main one.

Let's make a reservation right away that this work cannot be called simple: on each exchange there are experienced performers who have a lot of reviews and a high rating. You need to try to stand out from their background and at the same time not run into scammers who trade on the exchanges in large numbers.

Each exchange has its own characteristics, we will analyze a few.

Scheme of work:

Publication of the project by the customer;
Studying the task by freelancers and submitting applications for execution;
Choice by the client of the contractor;
The contractor does the work, the client pays for it.

Freelancers directory.

There are almost everywhere. It is formed according to the rating of performers. On the first pages are those who are the lucky owner of the highest rating. The customer often chooses the contractor from here and offers him a job directly.

To get into such directories, you need to earn a high rating.

Safe transaction.

A service through which transactions between the customer and the contractor pass. Freelancers with experience work just like that. This is a kind of guarantee, protection against fraudulent activities.

Paid accounts.

Usually found in large venues. Used by freelancers to attract the attention of serious customers.

In this case, we have characterized the features inherent in most exchanges. Each site has its own nuances, but you can familiarize yourself with them by registering on the resource you like. In the meantime, let's discuss how to choose it.

How to choose an exchange

To get started, consider the list of exchanges;
Follow the links and form your opinion and first impression according to the following criteria: is it convenient to use the site, do you like the design, pay attention to whether the secure transaction service works;
Read reviews from other freelancers, especially those about scams;
Find out if there is a commission, whether you need to pay for accounts, how funds are withdrawn.

For example: you can choose by a simple principle the largest exchange in Runet. But you won't be able to start working until you buy a Pro account. You need to find out such nuances in advance.

How much can you earn

The most common question. The level of income is directly dependent on how much tasks you complete. That is, the principle applies: the more you work, the more you earn.

But it is worth considering that at the beginning of a task with a high payment, it will be difficult to get. First of all, earn a name for yourself, gain experience. Only then will it become possible to take really high-paying projects to work.

Given these points, the average freelancer, working 7 to 8 hours a day with coffee breaks, will be able to earn about $600. Pretty good at the current rate.

Freelancers who have extensive experience and an impeccable reputation earn several thousand dollars a month. But to achieve this, you need to go all the way from beginner to pro.

How to withdraw money

The main problem for a freelancer is often the withdrawal of earned funds from the exchange. We list the main methods below.

Yandex money.

To use the wallet, it is enough to register in the system. It is simple, does not cause difficulties. On some exchanges, money for withdrawal must be ordered in advance, and the withdrawal itself is carried out once a week on a specific day.

When the money is credited to the electronic wallet, it will be possible to withdraw it to a bank card. The minimum withdrawal amount is 500 rubles + system commission.

WebMoney.

In order to register, you will need a passport, phone number and email address. Registration is free. In order to withdraw funds from the wallet, you need to send a scan of your passport to the security service.

It is also a common option for withdrawing funds from the exchange. Registration is fast and free.

Bank cards.

Many exchanges have this method of withdrawing funds. Usually it should be a card of any Russian bank, Visa or Mastercard.

If the exchange is Ukrainian, withdrawal to hryvnia cards is possible.

How to avoid scammers

Deception on the Internet is widespread - this is already an axiom. But most often, newcomers fall for the hook of scammers, although the pros also encounter scammers in their work. How to reduce this risk, we will discuss further.

Signs that characterize fraud:

Negotiations are conducted in an inadequate style. The customer refers to "you", speaks in the tone of an old friend, or, conversely, too impudently. It often happens that the swindler is too kind, expresses admiration for your work;
The customer limits the ways of communication. For example, it leaves only an email address for communication, and it was created a few days ago;
The customer suppresses any talk about prepayment. In this case, they will refuse to cooperate with you, even if you are already a professional.

The most common freelancer scams.

Most often, novice freelancers and not only they are deceived with the help of the so-called “test task”. The scheme is simple: the performer is offered a task to complete - to write an article. He is immediately told that the test task will not be paid.

It is clear that as soon as a person sends the finished material, all contacts with him are stopped. Such deception has become simply global in the network. There are even companies that fill their sites with content in this way.

Similar manipulations are done with designers, translators and programmers. Nobody is safe.

The second step in popularity is occupied by gross fraud. Those. Initially, the freelancer is told that he will receive, for example, 1000 rubles for his work. As soon as the work is done, the performer is confronted with the fact that there will be no payment, the order is poorly executed.

It is very difficult to prove such actions, since most often there are no written contracts between the customer and the contractor. E-mail in this case is also not evidence.

To avoid such situations, to protect yourself from the actions of scammers, freelancers with experience recommend:

Find out as much information as possible about the potential employer, ask for his phone numbers, address;
Try to find reviews about him on the Internet, for sure he has already collaborated with someone;
Look for information on freelance forums, ask around colleagues.

Conclusion

So, let's sum up. Remote work provides many benefits. You can choose the schedule, the type of activity that you want to do. But all the benefits that freelancing provides must be used wisely.

Such a large level of freedom does not benefit everyone. You need strong self-discipline and responsibility. As for the exchanges, it’s real on them, the main thing is to have patience and not be lazy.
