Freelancing in the English Market is #1 for making money like a champ
Freelancing in the English market is the #1 best way to start making real money online. In fact, it might turn out to be the first time you finally start earning a good income using only the internet and your laptop.
Freelancing does not require an office or even your own wifi. As long as you have a laptop, tablet, or other similar device that can connect to the internet, you can work from anywhere you can connect to wifi. This could be a coffee shop in Rome, a nice beach in Greece, or maybe lounging by the pool at a hotel in Honolulu. You don’t even need a constant connection. If you can connect to the internet long enough to check and answer your mail and upload finished projects, you’re good to go.
A lot of people can’t imagine being an online freelancer. After all, the average person doesn’t have any internet skills, right? Wrong!
There are many skills that can be offered in an online market. Just a few are article writing, translating, search engine optimization, webpage design and development, logo design, voiceovers, and the list goes on.
Take a moment and think about it. What are your skills? What are you good at? Can you deliver your skills over the internet?
If you’re not sure, take a look at one of the top freelancing sites! You will almost certainly be amazed at the variety of services offered, services that people are making good money at!
Freelancing in the English market is by far the best market to be in. If your native language is something other than English, don’t worry! You can have the best of both worlds.
First of all, offer your service(s) in your own language. That could keep you as busy as you want to be, but if you want more business, you need to offer your freelancing services to the English market.
Here is where many who are not native English speakers make a fatal mistake. Because of this mistake, they may simply give up, thinking it’s just not for them. But don’t give up!
The fatal mistake is trying to sell services to the English market without being as fluent as a native English speaker. This is especially important in the massive U.S. market. A lot of Americans tend to have a lot of disdain for anything but high quality American English. It is an American “thing” that you must be aware of. Furthermore, you must offer your services in the U.S. dollar currency. If you offer it in any other currency, a very large block of the U.S. market will not buy from you. It may be annoying, but it is a fact, and it is also a fact that it’s really nice to get your hands on those U.S. dollars, so you have to play their game in order to win in this lucrative market.
Note that if you’re trying to sell specifically in the British English market, it’s really important to use “the Queen’s English,” as they call it – high quality British English. However, it’s not necessary to sell in British currency. They are not quite the same snobs as Americans when it comes to currency.
(I should point out here, as I really have no desire to annoy my American friends – I have grandkids who are Americans – that it really is difficult to use anything but U.S. currency in the U.S. market. I can’t tell you how many times an American store or coffee shop clerk has chucked Canadian money back at me! I just carry American money in the U.S., have a U.S. Mastercard, and only sell in U.S. dollars (except on Ebay, where they have made that impossible unless you have a U.S. shipping address).
In case you’re wondering, if you try to use U.S. money in Canada, it is gladly accepted and you will get a fair exchange. Most of the time, it’s worth more.)
But when you’re trying to break into freelancing in the English market and English is your second language, or perhaps not a language you are at all good at writing in, you can often hire a freelance translator who is excellent and who isn’t expensive.
