    What is freelancing and its major sorts<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some of you might know what is freelancing. Freelancing is basically a way to earn money by providing your services to client and earn money, this is an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    This is a Gig <\/strong>on Fiverr (A freelance marketplace), gig is a service that you sell on Fiverr. You can see the price tag on this service as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    You can view the gig here<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As you saw, this guy presented his service himself with a video showing what he does, now potential clients would reach him through this marketplace or website (Fiverr) and they\u2019re going to pay him to make a professional logo animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re wondering that you don\u2019t know how to animate a logo, no need to worry! You can offer other services too; I\u2019ll explain that in the later section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now coming to the types of freelance market places, there are exactly 2 types of market places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. The Traditional ones<\/li>
    2. The Non-traditional ones<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Traditional marketplaces are the ones in which you don\u2019t post your services yourself, means: you have to approach clients yourself, by bidding on projects and earning them if you put up a nice price! This is an example of a project that potential employees might bid on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      (source: Freelancer.com)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      You can see a price range which provides an idea to an employee about how much he should put on the bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      You can check out the website<\/a> here, make sure to sign up before checking out the projects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Again, if you\u2019re not eligible for a project you can learn a specific skill which suits you and then you can apply for a job!

      These are the most famous traditional marketplaces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Upwork<\/a><\/strong><\/li>
      2. Guru<\/a><\/strong><\/li>
      3. Freelancer<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>
      4. PeopleperHour<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        On the contrary, on non-traditional market places you post a service yourself and clients reach you and pay you for your services, here is an example of a service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
