Before You Go on Freelancing, Ask Yourself
Kyle asked me over email just the other day:
I am a web and graphic developer who works in Makati. My salary is not sufficient so I’m trying to look for ways to augment my income. I had created an account in oDesk but I am confused. Please help me.
The original wordings of these sentences are in Taglish (mixed Tagalog and English), but I had translated Kyle’s question for the benefit of the majority of the readers.
I usually get these kinds of emails but I had already grown tired of the typical responses I give. Usually I’d say they should visit this post about how oDesk works to get an overview of the entire system. Then I would give them this post on additional tips on how to land on that oDesk assignment. I would also mention the useful tips on how to collect their payment from the internet.
