How to start?
From my past experience i have made these short guidelines:

• Register will freelance website.
  

I am not a promoter of freelance website but still i am writing few to get you started

There are many more other website but i recommend these as i have worked and earned on these. You can search from any search engine like google, yahoo, hotmail, dogpile etc.

Risks/ threats to freelancing
There always been a risk factor involed in freelancing:

• Does not clearly understand the requirement and started the project. This may cause failure of the project and a bad feedback. If you have more than 3 or more failure projects freelance website may also BAN you.

• Freelance Website get closed: A biggest threat to the career of a freelancer is what if the freelance website gets closed. You can sue but all your money and your career may ends up or atleast it a big shook.
  

• Payment Method not known: Some people does not take care of payment method they keep on doing work and earning money. But they did not see first that payment method to their country is not mentioned. So always choose a payment method first. So you will be sure that the work you are doing you will get the money as well.

• Follow the rules and policy. It is always adviced not to make any voilation of company poclicy. You may be permanently BAN if you do not follow the rules and regulations.
  

So I end up my discussion in concluding that you must explore yourself and if you have any skills you can earn BIG money.

Can I become a Freelancer?
There may be less or more categories, sub categories mentioned above If you feel that you have skills related to any 1 or more of these, then you can become a Freelancer.

Successful Freelancers
To become a successful Free lancer. Best thing is follow these guidelines

• understand the requirements of the Project
• Timeline to finish the Project
• Provide quality work
• communication with the buyer

I believe if you follow these things then your Buyer will give a high rating. Higher ratings will get more business and more money. Buyers also reward BONUS to their providers.

How come I become Rich with Freelancing?
People will get money by doing work. But not all people get rich. The reason is very simple the Time Vs Money. How much you spent and how much you get? If you analyze then you will understand that there is one other thing i.e. Opportunity. So we need to keep a balance among all these things. Few things you should consider:

• High rating more business
• High rating you can demand more money
• High skills you can work more (more work more money)
• Business ethics (the more the people will trust you the more business you will get)
• Management (the more you will manage things, less effort and great results you will get)
• Working on the emerging and latest technology
  
• Good communication with the buyers (Again communication is very important factor).
• Follow the rules and policy.
  

These are the secrets that I have shared with you. I hope now you will have make some of your mind to do something. Next week i will let you know WHERE TO START?

>>Your comments / suggestions are always welcome.<<

Many Thanks!

Online Earning Skill - Web-Hosting Business

This week I have selected the topic Web-Hosting business. This is today most easiest way to earn money and it becomes very profitable in the long run. Let me explain you about what is web hosting business. Web hosting provides services to host web. Web Hosting provides two types of services:

1. Domain Hosting
2. Storage Space

Although above two things are interdependent to each other but it can be independent. Let me give you a very simple example, you want to host a website it mean you need domain hosting + storage space. You can buy two things from a single provider or you can buy domain from one provider and storage from the other. It means that two companies might host your website at a same time.

We see that the need for website is growing rapidly. So if you buy a Reseller package from any hosting company you can start this business. Many Service Provider companies offer different reseller packages. You must choose the one you think best fits for you. I recommend to start from the very basic package and if your business grows you can update your package any time.

How much I will charge?
There may be other factors but generally you will charge by considering these:

• type of client (regional or demographic may vary)
• domain extension e.g. .com, .pk, .us, .net, .info etc
• Storage e.g., 20mb, 500mb, 1 gb, unlimited etc
• Bandwidth e.g, 500mb, 1.5GB, unlimited etc.
• duration of subscription / registration monthly, anually, etc
  

Why I choose this business?
The scope of business is very large and demand is very high. The best thing is this that a person who registers with your company first time and if he satisfies with his website then he will pay you every time when his subscription is about to over. So you one client may be your life time client because the website always want to be on web.

Risks / Threats
Every business has a risk factor. I want to let you know few risks that you must know before. Your business may be vanished & finished if the company closes from whom you bought the reseller package (although there are ways to re establish) but this is a big threat. So I strongly recommend before you purchase a Reseller package first check the company's profile & history then make any decision.
Other threats may include clients un- satisfaction, left the website, closes its business or die etc.


So i wish you good luck. I have briefly describe above you the process and important things to start this business. If you have any questions you can comment or email me.

Your suggestions are precious to us and we always welcome.

Thanks
