It is very hard to find a good job in government sector OR in a private sector with good pay. It became kind of a dream for many youngsters in 3rd world countries. After completing the studies, the only option left for youngsters is to start their own business or work on a low pay wasting their skills and time. But in the modern world there’s another way for professionals to make good income using their skills and that is called Freelancing.
Freelancing can be done in many ways but most popular and trendy way to do it is online. It allows you to start your personal business in your home with minimum expenses. Professionals from many fields have adopted it and became very successful. Most of the professionals doing freelancing belongs to IT or media related fields which can be categorized further into experts like Web developers, Web designers, filmmakers, photographers, transcriptionists, translators and many more.

Many people think that working online is a scam and just waste of time but it’s not completely true. There are some platforms or websites who provide different type of jobs. The earning is different for different type of professionals. Web developers or web designers can earn much more than the data entry worker. Clients offer some jobs on hourly basis and some on a fix price.
I started freelancing in 2007 and my first earning was $50 for 100 hours of work. After having few experience and familiarity with the field my earnings went up amazingly and I was able to earn $500 to $1k per month doing online stuff for my clients from different countries.
