If you have ever started a new career you always have to work from the bottom and these 5 websites will help you get started.
See that 5 websites you can use to start a new career or make extra cash.
Elance?is the Internet?s biggest marketplace for legitimate freelance work. And, it?s my personal favourite of all the websites in this list.?It provides a simple interface that allows you to search for jobs in any kind of niche. From Writing and Translation, to Web Design and Programming.?Basically, people post jobs they want doing on the website, and you submit a proposal for it.?It?s that simple.?
Every site on the list is a little bit different.? You will have to start out in the pack with everyone else and either bid on a proposal like a contractor or pay the site for you to prove you are competent like at Freelancer.? If you have some room in your budget I would suggest starting off on Freelancer by taking some tests to prove you are competent.? That way you know you have the skills your customers will be looking for and it weeds out everyone else who can?t pass the test.
