11).Time to Go Online

Thanks to the internet and the increasing popularity of working over the internet, you do not have to look far to start out in freelance. In fact, there are many websites that cater to bringing together employers looking for help and freelancers looking for work.The result is that time spent searching for freelance projects is minimized and your options are wider in terms of the projects and clients available. Also, this makes working freelance all the more attractive and eliminates the primary worry of where to find work. On the internet there are several types of freelance job sites that cater to job and project searches:

• Freelance work exchanges: These are subscription based websites where employers post projects and freelancers pay a fee for the ability to bid on and win them.
• Job boards: These are the major job sites that cater all types of employment, not just freelancers,usually free of charge. They do have freelancing jobs available. You have to do a little digging, though.
• Freelance job boards: Similar to the above but cater specifically to freelancers and employers looking for freelancers. Some are free and some are fee based sites.
