freelance writing
what is freelance writing? Freelance writing means that you are writing something for someone in an independent position. He gives you money for the amount of work you do for him and after that he also calls you Allah Hafiz and you go away saying Allah Hafiz in the same way he is no one’s employee Yes, he is his own business, he operates an easy business and he gives his services to other businesses.
This is a service-based model. You are sending your service and your skills to the world. You work independently, you work with whoever you want, you work when you want, you work as much as you want, and then you negotiate for the rate you want to finalize.
what is necessary for freelancing
Is freelancing necessary? Do you need a degree? It is not at all. Freelancing, as I said, is a skill-based business. It is a service-based business and your degree has no real value in it. If I give you an example, I have contacted dozens of clients so far, had discussions with them, convened them, and so far there are probably two or three of these clients. Who has ever asked what is my qualification?
No, it is true that qualification matters how good you write and how good your English is. It doesn’t matter, nothing is happening with your B. Eng advice and your degree from LATE is some random thing, it is in engineering, any degree is available in the world, but your English is better. The scope is now that if someone wants to do freelance rating, then what should he do, what are the things he needs.
Things need for freelancing
First of all, you should have a laptop, obviously a laptop with a good internet connection. This is what you need to start connection and that’s pretty much. You want an amazing laptop. Just a good functional laptop and a good internet connection. That’s pretty much it.
Money do people earn from freelancing
How much money do people earn at the local level and at the international level, so before any figure is mentioned, let me tell you that freelance writing is not a job that will be on the industry standard.
You may think that this is a job that generally makes so much money, it is not like that and there are people in it who are not able to make money and then there are people who are making so much money that they are not It is also difficult to make so much money in a job, that is, if I say that there are people who are earning up to five lakhs from freelancing and freelancing in general, it will not be wrong and I know such people.
You are average because I won’t let you down because anything can happen, what I have seen from my experience because I am in contact with freelancers on a daily basis, so I would say that Mostly freelancers in Pakistan work part time not full time it is part of our one up me culture so many people are working part time including me because I am one I am a student as well, so these people earn depending on how much work they are doing, at what level, how well they are doing, so these people earn 20 to 40 thousand rupees.
are doing part time and the people who are actually making money through this thing are the people who are doing it full time and these people are earning more than lakhs I am talking about Azili I am obviously in this There are also people who are earning between 60,000, 70,000 and 80,000. I am only telling you about the possibilities and now we have come to this side.
Why is it important to tell? See, no human being can stop you if you want to work in USA as a freelance writer in Pakistan. What have I done? If he polishes himself a little with time, he can do it. Now the thing to understand is that in our Pakistan, which is rated for expert, in USA, the beginner let it fail. Times is 5 times i.e. if an expert writer here gets even a beginner level job in USA then he can multiply his income 5 times i.e. if he is earning Rs.
can earn five lakhs if he is earning five lakhs then critically speaking he can multiply it further why i like freelancing and freelance writing because there is no limit check out hack currencies There is no doubt that the rupee is very low compared to the dollar today and when you earn money in dollars and convert it, even a small amount will be converted into Pakistani rupees.
It will be very high and if you are doing it at a good level, then what kind of amount will it be that you will get anywhere if you do any kind of job? A package will be offered.
where to start someone freelance writing
So how can he do it and where can he start? I think that if you consider freelance writing in Pakistan, there are three major levels. According to me, this is my personal opinion.
First level
The first level is free on Facebook. Within this level of lance rating, up basically all the people who see me will have a Facebook account, just go to the top of it, there are many groups related to freelance writing and related to freelancing.
Join it, new jobs are posted there on daily basis, it is completely written there that this is the thing, this work is required for so long, this is the rate, apply with it, negotiate, you will get that job. Get up and work and get money through bank transfer. This is the first CD I recommend to everyone if they are starting out, start here. Skip the next levels.
Invest your time in learning now. I told you earlier that freelancing is a service-based business. How good is your service? The main thing is this, and the second, third, and fourth things are not the same. There is no need for you to quit your job, but if it is said that maybe 50 percent of freelance writers in Pakistan are those who work together, then it will not be wrong, why are they doing it now?
Don’t they know, fellow freelancers, that dude we can earn more money in freelancing, as I said, freelance lighting is a business, every business requires an initial investment, and your freelancing will have an initial investment.
The time you will spend in learning writing is a completely separate thing from freelance writing. Whatever you write, your English is good, very good, but you need some technical skills, etc. You will have to learn and improve, so there is no need to leave your job. If you work from 925 late to nine to six, you can give it two hours a day if you want.
Yes, if you want, if you really want, and people are doing this very commonly, two-hour people are giving four-four hours, so you can take two hours out of your day and give it to them. Now these people do it. What are you doing? Are you doing a job and doing freelancing on Facebook and your effort is to make the business of freelancing so big that you have to quit your job tomorrow and freelancing will be my major business. There will be real business and according to me it is a good option if you have dependents on you .
second level
Now we come to the second step, which I call the proper professional level, which is the freelancing websites. These are the websites that essentially do the same thing as Facebook. Whatever the project is, you have to do it, there are publishers there, they apply for it, they bid, and after applying, obviously, people are selected from it, and if you are selected, then you are selected.
Freelancing freelancers work on this project now what are these websites in it every guru on five people is the most famous name and i am at last as an individual up I use work and I like you. My profile is top rated at this time, that is, top rated is the category that has the highest rating on the platform, 100 percent, my job is six score.
This will be yours, wherever you work, you will have a complete proper profile in it, what work you have done on this platform before, what reviews the client has left, how many stars you have left, all this. It is considered there that overtime a proper profile will be created, the more time you spend on it, the easier it will be for you in the future because the more established your profile is, the better it will be.
So this was your second step. How do you increase the money that is in it? So let me give you an idea of it. Were you working with Pakistanis? When you go to such a website, you will work with the whole world. What is the work in UK, what is in Australia, what is in Siberia, what is in Europe, from different countries, you will find people from all over the world and these people are obviously paying according to their currency.
Their budget is high, so these websites are considered a proper professional platform and I would say that it is not necessary to go beyond this level. You say that now I have a proper profile on a website, it is working very well, now I have to take the next step, it is not necessary and if I say that mostly people do not take it or do not take it voluntarily, then it is not wrong. Here you can make a good amount of income, but still you have a chance that you can increase it further, grow it and that is the third stroke that is up-direct.
Third level.
The third step is to establish direct contact with the client. Now let me tell you that if you work anywhere on a freelancing website, most of the time it is that they are involved in any of your website projects. You take a cut from the amount you have been paid.
If you give me an example of Apur’s Mega, give me an example of Five, then it is a 20 percent cut. 20 percent cut means that if you have made five dollars, give one example on a project. If you have made five dollars, you will get four dollars and one dollar will go to the platform, that will be their commission. You were earning or this four dollars that you got is much more than what you were earning on Facebook at this time maybe you are earning two and a half dollars for this work.
There is an increase for you, but there is no doubt that the client is paying more on his behalf than what you would have been getting if you had established direct contact.
and if you don’t increase your rates then you will get 20 percent increase and if you establish direct contact then generally you will get better rate. So the most common method for direct contact is cold mailing and cold pitching.
Let me tell you basically what the mechanism is. For example, if a writer within a paint industry. And I write for Pet Bloggs, so my job is to go and find out who runs this pat blogges, who runs it, who manages it, who edits it, if I need it.
Get the name and email of the several thousand elephants it’s a whole subject rate self I’ll just cover it quickly so I can establish contact with him directly and email him directly. You and I do not say that if you email one person, you will get the project at the same time. And these are similar ratios, but obviously for those who want to maximize it is not a big deal, so you can establish contact in this way, you will get much better rates. Obviously you don’t even have to pay that cut 20 percent which is the cut of the platform.
