Working as a freelancer requires much time and effort, since, the work involves, in most cases, extensive research. The Freelancer market belongs to creative people who can work on their own. As a beginner, you don’t really know what to ask or what rates to quote. Having gone through these concerns, here are a few tips to consider that will help you find a freelance job:

1.      Finding consistent work is very important. In order to get a steady stream of work, you need to hook up with one or two reliable clients. For this purpose, you can use social networking tools.

2.      As a beginner, don’t limit your work to a specific area; do everything you can find so that your reputation and market is established.

3.      Flexibility in rates is one of the key aspects if you are looking for a long term freelance work. Be flexible and keep your rates low in the beginning. It is best to set a range and let the buyer decide a fixed rate for you from this range.

4.       During the beginning of your freelance career, it is not advisable to quit your day job until your freelance job is well rooted.

5.      Keep everything simple to keep your costs low.
