Freelance Outsourcing- the younger generation is more interested in this free profession. Freelancers or independent professionals earn income from various foreign IT jobs at home. There are two ways to learn freelance work—one is online for free, and the other is paid courses at various institutes. Apart from this, online freelance training opportunities are available in exchange for money.
Learn Freelancing Online
Nowadays, searching online provides various information useful for freelance work. And so, you can search on Google or YouTube to get a basic idea about the subject you are interested in learning. In the first week, try to learn different information just by searching. If you want to learn graphic design, web development, and digital marketing from scratch, try beginner courses. If you can do some work, you should do intermediate-level courses. Follow the below steps to find the information you need online.
- When you find important information while searching online, bookmark or save it. For this, find 5 to 10 websites that have various information on your chosen topic and are updated regularly.
- Besides the website, find 5 to 10 YouTube channels with training videos on your chosen subject.
- You should regularly connect with 2 to 5 active groups on your favorite topic on Facebook or any other social media. It will be easy to understand what type of work is currently in demand.
- High-quality courses are available online for almost all subjects for free. And so, you have to register for 2 to 3 courses and take training on them.
- There are free e-books available online on almost all subjects. In addition to online training, e-books on the subject of your choice should be downloaded on your computer or laptop and read regularly.
At least one to three weeks should be used to master the various information of your chosen website, YouTube channel or e-books. But that's not all you need to learn. Apart from getting the basic idea, note the important information separately, which will help you later.
After one to three weeks of training, start doing things independently by saving important information from your chosen website, YouTube channel, or e-books in one place. Now, you have to post your work in the community groups you are part of. Asking others to give their opinion on the quality of your work, you will find that many will point out various feedback related to your work. As a result, the feedback related to any individual work will be known by others. Now you can follow those suggestions and feedback to solve any error of your work and do the same again and post in the groups. In this way, gradually, your work-related problems will decrease, and quality will improve.
