Online freelance work becoming more popular for most people who are looking for efficiency in work. As I mentioned in my previous post "As Online Worker" that there are some advantages of online freelance work than offline (traditional) freelance work.

Some advantages of online freelance work :

* You can work comfortably from your own home or wherever you want. You are free to decide when the time to work on your comfort.

* You can view the list of projects bids at various freelancing sites, then you are presented tens or even hundreds of projects that match your skills. You are free to choose it.

* Other than of time, you can determine how your target salary depending on how many projects you get.

So, how can I achieve success and survive in the world of freelancing?

In my opinion, there are two ways that can be used if you "solo working" : "learning by doing and sell your work."

I mean... learning through the community that match your interests or your expertise and sell your work through the market community in need.

Why the community? because there are various tips or guides on your expertise, and you can easily monitor the latest information about market of your expertise. You can also build a relationship with other users, that means you can share information with peer users.

As we all know .... there are some types of freelance jobs are commonly seen on the internet. I think, here are some of the more popular choice :

•  Writing : online writer is most popular home jobs ( I think).

• Web Development :  The entrepreneurs who want to run an online business trying to build their site to the fullest. This opportunity is open for developers.

• Graphic Design : design view is one of the main part of a site. Website owners hire freelance graphic designers to meet the professional look of their site.

• Marketing : Internet marketing. Every entrepreneur trying to keep their products or services is known by many people. You as a powerful internet marketer, have a great opportunity to do that.

So what should I do as an online freelancer?

As I mentioned above, you can learn through the community as the tools and resources that will help your freelancing career. Here are some resources you can use :
