What is freelancing

Freelancing simply refers to someone self-employed and hired to work for different companies on a particular assignment and is not necessarily committed to a specific employer for the long term.  

Types of freelance gigs

So as stated earlier, freelancing means giving someone your  Knowledge, abilities, and experience to perform particular assignments. You can do this in many ways through a computer or your phone. But I want to touch on Video Editing and Blogging. But before we go into this, I work on The below Freelancing Website As a Freelancer

• upwork.com
• Fiverr.com
• 15ghana.com

You can register for any of the above freelancing websites or, better still, register all of them; note: I am not telling you to also write as a Video editor or a Blogger. Register as a Graphic Designer, Programmer, Virtual assistant etc. If you don't have any Skills and want to Pursue one, I will share some free Courses from udemy.com where you can start learning new skills to join this excellent Online Job Opportunity. 

If you don't get a particular skill you want on the ones I am going to share, kindly message us by using the contact us on the navigation bar on the website and request one from us or, better still, YouTube that particular skill and start from there. Let me move on to Video Editing.

Video Editing

Video editing is the manipulation and arrangement of video shots. Video editing structures and presents all video information, including films and television shows, advertisements, and essays.

How to set up your Freelancing profile to get approved quickly.

Okay,, so now that you've decided to join  Freelancing, you need to get an account, and not just that, you need to be approved before starting your Freelancing Career. Some freelancing websites like Upwork and Fever sometimes need to be simpler to get approval on their website, unlike 15ghana.com. Still, do not worry; I will contact you with a step-by-step tutorial on how to get approved quickly on Upwork, which is the same procedure for getting Fever approved; you can click here to learn how to get supported soon on Upwork. 

Blogging

Blogging is one of the most reliable ways to make money online; I personally make a few dollars through Blogging, so I will share how I make money. To start Blogging, you need good writing skills, which I'm still working on to improve my writing skills; I also need to be very creative. 

To start Blogging, choose a Niche (according to your interest & Knowledge), then create a blog and an AdSense account. If you need a step-by-step tutorial on how to start a blog and get AdSense approval, comment below, and I will set up a complete tutorial on it.

Earn more money genuinely as a freelancer.

So someone may ask, how do I make money from such skills (Video editing and Blogging)

Well, there are 100,00 plus clients online looking for people to edit their videos to upload them on YouTube, so I am into editing. On my Freelancer profile, you can see my skill. Since I fall into the categoryVideo Editors category, I will see many people looking for editors to work with, and some will contact you to work for them. 

At the same time, other companies too, you will need to apply it on their profile. As a  blogger, I get paid through Google AdSense, Guest Post, sell eBooks etc. Now let's move on to the last part of the tutorial.
