FREELANCING

Freelancing is an easy way to earn a side hustle working part time or full time. You can get started for free the minute you read this, no joke. How did I do it? I joined Upwork. I filled out my profile and started applying for jobs.  There are other similar platforms that you use your skills on to make money as well that are good too, Guru and Fiverr.

As I was new to the platform, I had no feedback or ratings so in the beginning I took lower paying jobs to get my feet wet (think $10 hour as opposed to $25-$30/hour I charge now).  This doesn’t always have to be the case but if you want work fast, consider take a few jobs at a lower rate than you’re used to in order to build up your profile. Believe it or not, a lot of freelancers even work for free, in hopes of getting 5 star ratings to make their profile shine!
