If you have special skills or marketable skills, you may start offering your services online through freelancing websites. All you need to do is to sign up for an account using your email address, post your profile and start bidding on the open projects. In some cases, you will be asked to pay a minimal fee to be able to bid. However, if you are just starting as a freelancer, you can begin with websites that allow you to use their basic services without asking for an upfront payment.
One of these websites is GetAFreelancer.com. By just signing up for a free account, you can access and bid on a large number of projects. If you would like to be listed as a premium user, you may also pay a minimal fee to upgrade your account.
Reminder: When you sign up as a freelancer, make sure that you have also signed up with an online payment system such as PayPal. That way, you can easily collect your payments once you finish a project.
You might also be asked by the buyer to present some of your past projects. Thus, it will help if you prepare a portfolio even before you start bidding.
