How do freelance websites work?

freelancer websites

Fieldengineer.com is a marketplace of ideas, skills, and talents where anyone can work on what they love. The website has been up and running for about six years now and it has since launched many products and features to help both employers and freelancers get work done. Because of the platform's vastness, it may seem too daunting for a newbie. In this short guide, we'll discuss the processes involved in working and earning at Fieldengineer.com.

Step 1: Determine what you are good at, commit to a life of freelancing, and sign up for a  Freelancer.com account. Signing up and working at Freelancer.com is absolutely free, but we also have membership upgrades that will greatly help you to earn more, such as getting more bids per month, and a list of skills. Certain projects require your profile to reflect certain skills, so the more you have listed, the more opportunities you get. Head to this page to see what's on offer.

Step 2: Set up your profile. We can't stress the need for a complete and presentable profile enough. It showcases your personality, resume, portfolio, and skills all rolled into one. It's also an important tool for persuasion: an employer may completely base his judgment on whether to hire you or not by how well you present yourself.

Step 3: Find projects and start bidding. Earning money at Freelancer.com actually begins here. Hundreds of projects and contests in different categories are posted each day. Find the ones you want to work on by regularly checking the Jobs or Contests page. In the jobs page, you'll see suitable projects open for bidding. For contests, you simply submit an entry.
