You must have heard about the word freelance or perhaps a friend of yours recently told you that he is now a freelancer. In case you didn’t know what it meant, a freelancer is an Independent contractor. Freelancing gives you the luxury to work on your own and at your speed. You get paid according to your skill level and output as against payment for your time that is common in the traditional workplace.

A 2017 survey revealed that 34% of the American workforce are freelancers and the figure was projected to get to 50% by the year 2020. This is same America that so many Nigerians are using their life savings to secure a chance to go hustle there. How would you like your monthly earnings to be in dollars instead of the unpredictable naira?

The world is fast-changing and the educational institutions are not keeping up. In the past, a client had to post a vacancy and wait endlessly for the right applicant to come around for an interview followed by a rigorous process of documentation. Today, Clients save time, money and energy by hiring freelancers online.

There are several freelancing platforms out there such as Fiverr, Upwork, Guru, freelancer.com, peopleperhour and a lot more. You really do not need to be in more than one especially as a new freelancer (for the sake of Focus).

For me, I only use upwork and this is due to the following reasons.
Upwork has more history in the freelancing industry. Elance was formed in 2002 and Odesk in 2003. Both platforms came together in 2015 under one umbrella now called upwork.

Upwork gives you a level playing field to bid for any job you think you can do. You are given the opportunity to sell yourself to your potential client through your cover letters, profile, and portfolio.

Unlike Fiverr where you pay 20% on your earnings forever as commission, upwork only charges 20% until you make 500$ from your client and thereafter it is reduced to 10%.

Unlike freelance.com where you see Indians bidding incredibly low for jobs thereby forcing you to reduce your bids, upwork is only set to attract the best freelancers.

Applying for jobs on upwork is done with connects, you get 20 free connects on signing up. This means you get to apply for up to 10 jobs as a starter. If you do it strategically as I will be advising you later on in this thread, you will get to close at least 1 solid client.

10,000 people apply on upwork daily. More than a million jobs posted every month by clients from all over the world. The opportunity is limitless.
How long will you continue to keep waiting for that person you gave your CV to? How long will you keep working in that private school or factory where you spend all your time and still get paid alawee? There is a skill you have that can put food on your table and give you the fund and flexibility to build your dream. Embrace freelancing today.
