5 Tips to Win Projects on Frelancing Sites

If you want to earn money online by winning projects on freelancing sites and instead of working in traditional brick and mortar organizations under strict organizational rules, then continue reading this post. Here I am sharing 5 golden tips for freelancers to win projects and earn money online from freelancing sites like VWorker, Freelancer, Elance, Odesk etc.
5 Tips for Freelancers to Win Projects  and  Earn Money Online:
  1. Create a perfect, fully complete and accurate profile/resume on the freelancing site where you want to bid on the projects. Clearly mention your skills, your portfolio, your education and any recommendations you got. Remember that becomign prominent on freelancing sites and getting an edge over competitors (other bidders) is just like marketing a product in a highly competitive market.
  2. Be clear and precise in your bids. When you bid on a project, don't use generic bid statements, rather expalin clearly why the project should be assigned to you? How your skills match with the project requirements? Explain clearly if you have done similar projects before and any other information that's important for the project.
  3. Neither bid so high amount nor very low. Often people will suggest you to bid very low but I won't. If you bid too low, employer will think about you that you aren't capable enough and just want to grab project on low rate basis. And if you bid higher than average, employer will be definitely looking on other people's bid and will decide the one which best suits to his budget and requirements. So always bid a moderate amount.
  4. If you win any project, always do your best to perfom 100 percent. If you do a perfect job on a project, chances are that you will get more projects from the same employer and hence you will be able to earn more money and reputation. When you do a perfect job on a project on freelancing sites like VWorker, you also get excellent rating from the employer for that project. Future winning of your project, greatly depends upon your ratings.
  5. Last but not least, never loose hopes even if your bids are declined. It always takes some time to get strong feet on the land of freelancing. Don't expect to earn money online by freelaning projects on the very same day you start bidding. Sometimes, it may take even weeks and months to get first project. But if you are determined and paitent enough, you will be able to earn huge money online and become a successful freelancer.
