Work from Home as a Freelancer in Almost Any Field

13 February 2009 No Comment

I’ve found a place where you can work at home in the field of your choice, as a freelancer.  If you have skills in the fields of writing, photography, editing, web development, law, sales, engineering, and more, you need to check out elance.com.    Elance.com is a community-based site, where employers post jobs and projects and “providers” (freelance employees) make bids on the jobs.  Employers choose the provider they want to work with, and pay upon completion of the project.

Like eBay, elance has a feedback interface, so that potential employers can see how happy previous employers have been with a provider’s work.

In order to become an elance provider, you must complete ad Admissions Test.  The test covers concepts about elance, its terms of service, and their rules for employment.  This is so that elance can be sure that potential elance providers have a working knowledge of the site.

There is a free basic membership, which will allow you to bid on and complete projects for elance employers, but there are also different paid membership plans.  The paid membership plans rance in price from $9.95 – $39.95 per month.   The higher the monthly cost, the more benefits each plan has.  Again, you can find employment at elance with a basic free membership plan.  Paid memberships simply offer more perks and more job availablity.
