How can I make money

If you are a freelancer looking for work on any of the online job sites, you know just how fierce the competition can be. For every job posted there are potentially hundreds of candidates bidding on the same project. In order to be successful on these sites, you have to know how to make your bid stand out from your competition.

A sure way to not get the job is to use a standard template for all of your bids. This is a major turn off to employers. A potential employer wants to know that you have taken the time to read the project and have tailored a response specifically to them. Customize your bid to the assignment and employer that has placed the project. It does not matter whether the topic is sleigh beds or complicated business analyses, employers want to feel like their job is of utmost importance to you.

Incorporate bits of the assignment in your bid. This will help emphasize that you understand the project and are interested in starting. For instance, if the assignment requires you to write multiple sleigh bed themed articles, mention how long it will take you to complete the project. Incorporating the project into your bed immediately makes you an interactive partner.

Sometimes employers will mention their name at the end of project details. If they do this, start your bid by addressing them by name. This gives a personal touch to your bid. If the project details are not clear, ask for clarifications before making a bid. This lets the employer know that you are selective with the projects you bid on.

Follow up your bid with a message to the employer. Give the prospective employer a few days before you send the message. Remind the prospective employer of who you are, and if they need more information to help them make their decision. This will encourage them to revisit your bid and give it serious consideration.

Does the project have to do with decorating a king sleigh bed tastefully? Is your niche interior design? Mention relevant experience when placing your bid. Mention that you have written about bedroom decor, which can help bring your bid into focus.

Finally, be sincere in your bid. It gets easy to write mechanical bids. Keep in mind that mechanical bids are easily detected by prospective employers. Write creatively and honestly and your bid is bound to stand out from the crowd.
