Your portfolio is a way of displaying your skills and having an easy reference for potential clients. Add some of your projects with screenshots and URLs in your portfolio.
Any potential client will want to see samples of your work. Have them ready, buy a domain name where you can point your clients to look at your work (you can even host it for free on https://pages.gith...om
3: Sign up and Start Connecting : Now you have a portfolio to show case your skills to the world, lets connect to people and get some work that relates to you. (I will be explaining few Websites in this post later to get started…. )
4: Points to remember :
Start with small ones that you can completely easily so you can start building your reputation on freelancing platforms.
keep yourself Organized, Deliver on Time or before, Be Always in communication with the client and
Never forget to get a Written Feedback of your services from the client (Testimonials !)

And earning even that much is still a lot better than wasting time on maintaining multiple accounts and looting 5-10 rupee deals like many college kids do on DD. I have written about this earlier. See: https://www.desidime.com/forums/hot-deals-online...

i tried lot of times but didnt start in determination so far..i just want to know how to get the clients or to get atleast some small works.. either in datawarehousing(didnt see much proposals) or html5…
Which is better and easier field other than data entry to learn and work as freelancer? Please mention low cost methods to learn it.
@dealmate Buddy… for HTML5, enhance your skills a bit more by doing few online projects on your own. Dont forget BootStrap as well. If you need anything in your learning journey, I am here. I will provide a Temporary Domain, Server, web-hosting and whatever u need. meanwhile check http://www.five...om to get some knowledge about how u can start there.

nice post
any reason why freelancer isn’t recommended for beginners? @sherlock
Chances are very low for a beginner in freelancer.com.
As a beginner, yes u can start with a free account but most of the clients prefer to give their job to a established and experienced people. Most of the companies in Delhi-NCR have their profile in Freelancer.com. Obviously they have paid account and projects to show the client that they are skilled.
Another reason is their policies, U have to wait for upto 3 weeks to get funds for the job u have done. They will do some verification and all to release you the money, and sometime u have to prove that you have spent exact hours on the project for which u r getting paid. So as a beginner, I dont find it so worth.

6 years ago...I started with Article Writing, back then I was still a student. My First Payment that I got in PayPal was 344.46 Rs. I kept improving my skills and... Now....I am experienced in HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3, BootStrap, jQuery, PHP, WordPress and Magento. I dont want to reveal my earnings here though but U can guess I havent taken a single penny from Home since last 4 years. These online projects helped me to get job in a MNC here in Bangalore.

@S@MêëR Ðî×ïT™ Sure buddy, I will post some links to download. Stay tuned
Waiting eagerly for your post
I will suggest you to got for Educational Videos. You can record lectures, interviews, article/book reviews, demonstrate anything, etc. Then, it is possible to upload these videos on Youtube and and you will start earning
Firstly, Target your User Base. People still dont want to pay for Online Courses (CourseEra, Udemy etc) That is why they visit YouTube to gain knowledge. Make sure your videos shouldn’t be long and try to categories them on Topic Based instead of whole course in 1 video.
Here are few Links for you :

@dealmate The most known reason for the cancellation of Adsense account is Invalid Clicks. (Click Fraud) Make sure you get authentic and valid clicks for your ads.
