Bid, Bid, and Bid on projects

This is the important and difficult part of online earning. Buyers post projects on freelancing websites. You bid on these projects (and so do many other freelancers from all over the world). It is just like selling in any market. You have to convince buyer you are the most suitable candidate for this job. In the covering letter of your bid highlight your portfolio/ past work, your skills and talents briefly.

In start most important goal is to get some jobs and good reviews on your profile. So keep your price low and deliver the best possible work. Good reviews earned in start will go long way in getting you more work and better price in future.

Remember earning online is not very easy, specially in start. So do not worry if your bids do not get accepted and keep bidding.

Best of luck. If you have any questions post those in the comments.
