HOW TO BID ON FREELANCING PROJECTS


Since the COVID-19 pandemic has hit, many people have faced a tremendous downfall in their financial

aspects due to businesses suffering and therefore impacting the job market. Amidst of all this crisis,

freelancing is gaining more and more popularity to generate passive income.

According to www.beingguru.com, nearly 56.7 million Americans freelanced in 2019 and this number is

expected to increase as people are prioritizing their lifestyle and family life over a traditional 9-5

employment.

The skills, if thoroughly learned, give one the flexibility to work anywhere irrespective of the location and time provided the targets are met in due time.

However, before venturing into this field, it is best to understand the guidelines below, to improve and increase the chances of success. 

Points to be considered before bidding:

the way you sell your services in front of clients. Many aspiring freelancers fail due to a lack

of this important skill. If you would like to succeed, it is imperative to master hard skills and

soft skills both to build a strong repertoire among your peers as well as your clients.
