Types of Freelancer Jobs:

However each of the categories would be discussed in the later posts on this website so keep in touch.

Administrative Support:
So! Here’s the term that is even broader in this broader overview of jobs that can be done online. Administrative support deals with providing administrative expertise to different firms and industries and it requires from you a deep knowledge of the industry in which you are doing to work and experience before you step out and start client hunting process.
Starting from financial firm, it goes up to the film industry and even covers different other industries like you could be providing accounting services or working as an HR manager in a company so almost all the professions can be listed here under this category when you are providing administrative assistance to any firm like handling email responses, doing web research for a particular project, doing transcriptional stuff or maybe data entry work in an office. Be sure to check this in detail before making up your mind.
Business Services:
If you are having your bachelors degree majoring in accounting, economics or banking then there is a good chance for you to be hired by one of the finest financial firms but if you don’t want to work in an office then why not try your luck in online marketplace where you could easily find a job if you are an accountant, Bookkeeping expert, Financial planner or maybe a business consultant.
Yes there are too many companies who are always looking for qualified people like you (if you are so) and outsource their project to cut the cost but the only thing they are looking is quality work so be sure about it. Some companies are even looking for a guy who could handle their legal matters so if you have any of this skills/expertise then you can easily cash so many projects.
Customer Service:
If you are expert in handling phone calls and saying ‘This is Alex! How may I help you?’ then you can surely be hired as a customer service representative. And the good thing is that you don’t need to leave your house or miss that Soccer match at all.

ReplyDeleteGuess what? This is exactly what large companies are paying for. They need to know what their average customer needs and wants. So large companies pay millions of dollars per month to the average person. In return, the average person, myself included, fills out surveys and gives them their opinion.
