Freelance Career Question: Is there Freelance Online?

The freelance career may be one of the most rocky careers in today's world. But then, this career is even the one of the most lucrative. Who wouldn't love to work in their pyjamas and work when they want to and take a break when they don't want to? Trust us, the sense of freedom you get in a empty cinema hall on a Monday morning while watching your favorite movie before your peers is outstanding. However, before we paint a rosy picture of freelancing, we should also tell you that getting freelance work is as difficult, if not more, than getting your first job, getting your promotion, or even dating the person you always wanted to!

Of course, when you begin freelance work from home, there are several questions that are unanswered, and just one of them is: Is there Freelance Online?

While the question seems quite simple and even blatant, we should tell you that the answer is as simple as taking candy from a baby, and the answer is - Seek and You shall Find. Here are some places where you can look for freelance projects, and we can be sure, these projects will surely add the require firepower to move your freelance career out of the dumps and into the skies. :)

The Freelance Web: Hold that search engine window. There is no Freelance Web as such. The Freelance Web is a phrase that we use to describe all the forums, the blogs (including this one), the communities and the forums that provide help and information to those looking for freelance work and freelance projects. As you spend some time over the Internet, you will find several of our brethren that will offer you information and networks that are quite active in the world of freelancing, the core of the freelance web. Tread carefully though, since you are no longer in Kansas anylonger.

You will find all kinds of people on the Freelance Web, people who will go out of the way to help you, people who will take out the time to hand hold you through the ropes, and people who will rob you of your time and resources, but then, we never said there's no risk on the Internets, did we?

Freelance Sites: One would ask, what is the difference between the Freelance Web and the Freelance Sites, aren't they one and the same, or, aren't Freelance Sites just a part of the Freelance Web? Well sure it is, but this is like the badlands and the governed areas we used to see in those dystopian movies of yore. There are several freelance sites that offer freelance projects and freelance work. These sites basically make freelance online the lucrative profession that it is. And simply because it is more systematic and scheduled than other options that you would look at if you are looking for freelance work.

There are several such websites, which you will find with a simple search online, which allow you to make accounts on their sites and access the projects that they have to offer. Once you bid on those projects, the ball starts rolling. There are many people who make accounts on these sites to get a freelancer. If the person who has posted this project likes your work, they will contact you and if everything goes well, you will soon have that freelance project!
