Hello all!
As you all know I'm a freelancer via Frans Online Business INC. In this article I'm going to be talking about being a freelancer at Up-work (Odesk). I'm currently looking for a new contract over at Up-work as my last contract has been paused. The key to a successful business is always being on the lookout for different ways to earn. You have to constantly be on the lookout because just as frequently a new site is up another one is seeing it's last days. Since I've been working online I've seen a lot of sites close their doors. Some I was sad about others I was happy to see go, I guess that is part of the life cycle of a web-blog.
Up-work is no different, just a business trying to make it in the big scary world of freelancing. When I found Up-work the business was called Odesk and it was completely by accident. As things would have it I was searching for another site that pays you to write when I came upon Odesk. I was a bit skeptical as always I thought I would have to spend a lot of money but was pleasantly surprise that it was completely free (well not exactly completely free).
What I mean is that although you don't pay money upfront there is a fee that you pay for using their services. For instance if you getting paid $10 hourly you mate actually get paid $8 hourly with $2 going to fees. Over all I think Up-work is a legit work at home. You can set up your perfect schedule, you can work full-time or part-time whatever works best with your time.
Your time is your most valuable resource, come here more often as I discus different avenues to earn your life. With the internet the possibilities are endless. If you would like to know more about me and my business Google Francesca Etheart. Have a great weekend, see next time!
