We have already covered a few topics on benefit of working from home, How to make money online? And How to setup office at home?
The main objective was to show you the importance of freelance job opportunities available online to enhance your earnings while sitting at home.
The most common problem faced by any freelancer who wants to make money online is finding an effective and secure marketplace to get freelancing work. Luckily, there are a few marketplaces where you can post job requirements as well as pick up freelance jobs.
To find freelancers for ShoutMeLoud, I chose LimeExchange.com. And my experience with the platform was delightful. I felt it is worth sharing with readers of shoutmeloud about LimeExchange -one of the fastest growing online marketplaces and some key factors that you must work on before you start bidding for projects.
A few prerequisites to become a successful freelancer are::
- Profile “To establish yourself as a skilled freelancer and acquire more freelance projects, you must complete your profile up to 100%. Mention every important details including your education, past work experience, certifications, testimonials etc. as this would help buyers to evaluate your skills set and awards you with a project.
- Portfolio- Create an effective portfolio to get maximum projects complementing your are of expertise. You can provide links of your past successful assignments or upload any non-executable file up to 10 MB. The file may contain an image, audio or video. Also, upload writing samples of writers/ bloggers with their portfolios and get awarded with more projects.
Certifications – Online skill tests are an effective medium to gain an edge over other service providers, Online certifications bring authenticity, credibility and value to your profile. A profile with a ˜certified tag’ catches more attention as compared to a profile with no validation stamp. By taking certification tests you can brighten your chances of getting more projects matching your skill set. I liked the number and area of projects they cover:
- Audio Video and Multimedia
- Networking and information system
- Article Writing and translation
- Software development
- Web development
It caters to the needs of buyers and service providers as here you can find freelance projects and skilled professionals for your project. LimeExchange is the perfect place for you to hire a service provider (writer, designer ). You can post your project free of cost and search or invite service providers (according to skill requirement) to bid on your project.
Another thing is to set your hourly work price, so that you can bid based on the hour of work you will be needing to spend on it.
Creating a profile on Limeexchange is very simple. The product guide will be very helpful for you to understand the process of getting and finding a job. For any Freelancing website, make sure you always complete your profile 100%.
You can also track list of ongoing freelancing jobs here , where you can bid on them :
There are many freelance job websites that will help you get freelance jobs and also provides you with excellent features and services to boost your online business. We will cover all such websites in our coming posts to help you find a freelance job instantly.

That’s not very true ICM. When a freelancer work he always have a deadline when he start with a work.
You need a credit card to get paid in Paypal
Sourish even if you don’t have a credit card, you can link paypal to your bank account and get paid. Though without credit card your monthly transaction limit will be 500$.
The benefit of verified credit card is there is no transaction limit and more over you can make any payment using your Paypal account.
Well i know that,But LimeExchange needs verified Paypal accounts.That cant be done without a cc.
