Freelance Sites

A good way to start your virtual business is by utilizing freelance sites. This will give you access to a wide range of clients in many different fields. If you are not good with creating a website you may want to go the freelance route for awhile until you can get a website up for your business. Then you can do business from both avenues, leaning more and more toward your own clients. Some sites do require a monthly fee for use of their services. While some others charge a percentage fee on the total amount you earn for each project. Some sites do both. Although this is not the best news it is also not the worst. You can write off the fees in your taxes at the end of year*. Each site is a little different and some are targeted for specific fields. Here is a list of some of the sites that I am familiar with. There are probably more available you can do a web search to find more in your specific field if you would like.

Elance – This is my favorite. You can find high quality, long term projects here. There is a basic membership that is free or there are upgrade accounts that have a monthly fee. Here is a link to my profile, you can see what it looks like and sign up for your account to get started today.

guru.com – this is another very good site. You can have a free account of upgrade and pay a monthly fee. Some projects are reserved for paying accounts only so there are many perks to the paid accounts. They do also take a percentage fee on your earnings.
