Freelancing is not a new concept for most Internet users. Let's figure out how to become a freelancer, even if you don't know anything. To earn your own on a simple design, in theory, everyone can do it, the main thing is to figure out what's what. No investments are required, but it won’t hurt to turn to friends for help, but more on that later.
We will analyze the way of earning on the example of the site Getstencil.com.
There are many ready-made templates on such sites, ranging from business cards and books to design templates for web pages. Canva.com is also an analogue.
We are interested in the Templates section. It is on them that we will earn. Yes, the point is that you do not need to learn Photoshop and so on. Customers who need beautiful and simple designs for their theme will turn to those who do it quickly, efficiently and not expensively.
Where to get clients:
We will take them on freelance sites. This area has great potential.
We recommend using the exchange Fiverr.com. All other analogues from which you can also receive orders will be at the end of the article.
For different performers, prices can vary greatly, and offers where the service is essentially the same cost close to $100 and $10. In order to start without investments on such sites, you need to place your ads, make a portfolio like those who have promoted accounts, and ask your friends to place orders with you and leave reviews.
List of sites for collecting orders:
Regarding the site Stencil. It is relatively free, in the free plan you can only upload 10 photos, but this is enough to make a normal portfolio out of this amount.
Conclusion:
At the very start, we do not recommend paying for anything, but do it only after you make the first few orders on your own, without investments.
Adviсe:
1) If you have chosen Fiverr for work, then set the price at $10-12 per template, it is more attractive at the start;
2) To attract customers from social networks, make an account in your direction, for example, an account of a semi-professional designer, also an album with a portfolio, and use links to your ads from the exchange in correspondence, so the person will not risk that you deceive him.
3) There are many design and photography groups on Facebook, interact with them.
