Knock ... knock ... knock ... !!

Knock ... knock ... knock ... !! is there any projects i can do? I'm asking it to some freelance website. There are so many freelance site that we can choose the projects from them. For the examples, usually i come to www.getafreelancer.com to find available project according my experience. I choose about 3 or 5 project. And then i make some bidding about them. In this chase, from 5 project i've bid, it can be 1 or 2 project who give feedback to me. If we get it, try to open our commucation with the project owner, usually we call them "buyer".

When we open communication with them, there will an explanation about coverage of the project. If one each other can make a deal, the next step is talking about the time phrame. For how long you can finish this job. You can make a decission about how long you can finish it. If the buyer deal with it, you can start to do it.

But sometimes belong we open the communication, the buyer also open commucation with another freelancer. And sometime they cutting of communication with us. Oh God!!! what should i do??? It's OK. We should believe that there's so many buyers in the out there. We can get them. And we can winning the project.

One thing we must do is "DON'T QUICKLY SURENDER!!!". Find them ... bid them ... and finish them. Try to knocking another door. Don't concentrate just in one door. You can find another door. This way is yours, you deserve to do it. You can get about website freelance on this blog. Or in onether site. Whatever you want to do.

So ... let's knock the door one by one ...

Why They Hire Freelance Programmer???

Are you a freelance programmer and wondering where to get your next business? Or do you want to be one, but don’t have the nerve to face some unknown challenges that await ahead?

Don’t loose heart. There is something for you just around the corner. If you are prepared and have the right mix of attitude and aptitude, you will always have businesses coming your way. And if you are lucky, you will come to the point when you will refuse some of them. If that happens, be generous with your fellow freelancers and pass on to them some of the projects overflowing from your side.

Over the couple of years, I have noticed that businesses hire freelance programmers and computer consultants for various reasons. Here some are some of them.

1. To Save

This is perhaps the most common reason why they hire the services of a freelance programmer. Both small and large companies are doing it. Hiring a full-time, permanent programmer to do a quick and small software project is expensive and doing it doesn’t make business sense at all.

2. To Get Things Done

This one is a bit strange. But in some companies, outside programmers or freelancers are much more dedicated and motivated in delivering a software project than their in-house regular programmers. You don’t believe my claims? Try to visit a government agency (in the Philippines) that employs in house programmers and ask them what their projects are. You’ll be surprised at the answers.

3. They Don’t Do It

Companies have this so called core competencies. It’s what they do best. They are leaders in that field. Their customers love them because their services bring incomparable satisfaction.

And software design and development? That’s outside of their core competencies. They are more likely to buy an off-the-shelf software package if they need one. Or hire a local software company to deliver custom-made solutions fit for the company standards. Or, they might need a freelance Crystal Reports Designer who will work with their newly hired MIS Consultant under a six-month contract.

4. They Can’t Do It

No matter how hard they try, they just can’t do it. Their programmers are pressed for a tight deadline. The HR people mistakenly hired a COBOL programmer to do a new Web-based project that features AJAX all over the place.

It could also be that they really have no IT Department to do the software development project that they badly needed.

Enter you. The most popular freelance programmer in your city.

Hey, load that cellphone and be in a hurry to give them a call before somebody else gets the business.

Power to the Freelancers

You see, there will always be a need for your freelance programming service. So, don’t blame the economy, or the President, or your religion, or everyone else around you for not getting a business.

Do your part. Convince the companies that you are fit to do the job. Flex your technical muscles. Prepare the sales pitch that you learned from one of those Zig Ziglar Seminars you have attended last month.

Above all, see to it the you are the guy you can deliver them solutions.

Say No To Some Client And Projects

As a freelance programmer, you have probably been offered impressive-sounding or other downright stupid projects like the ones above. Over the years, one of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that not all projects and clients are worth investing my time. Here is my take on why you should avoid the trap.

Deal Or No Deal

I’m not addicted to TV Shows, but on occasions I have my eyes on Deal or No Deal, it’s easy to get hooked especially when the show is about to reach its climax. “Deal or No Deal?”, Kris Aquino would ask. The answer is neither right nor wrong, but it comes with consequences that continue until the next morning and become part of the family’s breakfast meal. I would venture to say that the player’s answer is influenced by three factors: greed, faith and commonsense.

Dealing with clients and choosing your software projects is about the same. Should you go with the one the promises big bucks? Would you entertain a static website worth $100? Sometimes the best deal is having no deal. I’ve learned that from experience – albeit, painfully. Learning to say “No” gracefully can save you at least three important resources: your time, your energy, and your sanity.

Choose Your Projects Carefully

For most of us cowboy programmers, it is very tempting to participate in Mission Impossible projects. We struggle to code late at night — which happens to be considered as free time — and keep pounding the keyboard until our fingers bleed. We want to build a better mousetrap, introduce unique features or provide better solutions to a problem that doesn’t even exist.

Back-off, cowboy, it’s time to wake up! If can’t afford to respect yourself, then at least have a little respect for your time. Realize that the time you spend coding for Tom Cruise is also the very same time you snatch from your kids. How much will you get from that project? How much is your kid? Sometimes it all boils down to priorities.

At the other extreme, there are projects that are plainly difficult to shallow. You know, the kind that you are hesitant to place on your resume or show to your friends for fear of burning yourself in shame. It may promise some big bucks, but if you can’t be proud of it, it really amounts to nothing.

Choose a project on the basis of pride, monetary rewards and the time spent in order to get those. There is no point in doing a project you can’t be proud of. Also, you have to earn something for your efforts; the higher your commulative earnings, the better for you. And time — you have to spend it wisely when doing the project.

Choose Your Clients Carefully

There are clients who can afford to pay and there are those who can’t. You can spot which one is which by the way the client reacts when you mention the price. There are clients who will pay and there are clients who won’t pay. Now that’s a little tricky to detect. The more exposure you have in dealing with clients, the better equipped you will be in differentiating the bluffer from the serious ones. Your goal should to be work ONLY on serious clients who can afford to pay you and who will be happy to pay you in return for your products or services. The bluffers will only rob you out of the three important resources I mentioned above.

I am assuming, of course, that the prospective client is interested in your products or services. In other words, it is useless to offer your wares to uninterested prospects.

The Power of No

As a freelance programmer, you are in the race of saving three important resources of time, energy and sanity. Learning how to say “No” will put things into their proper place where you end up happier and fulfilled as a freelancer.

So the next time a freelance programmer will say, “May the power of No be with you,” let your response be: “And also with you!”

5 Things

I’ve seen people who jumped into a freelance career only to loose interest and go back into their default comfort zones: being employees again. There are many reasons why they “failed” as freelancers one of which is not knowing what it takes to be one. Deciding to be a freelancer is not only a matter of changing careers. It is an emotional investment that involves a change of mindset. It’s not an easy path to take. The road ahead is full of surprises. It is not for everyone.

This article is written for employees who want to venture into a freelance career, but not sure yet if this is for them. Knowing what it’s like to be a freelancer is always a good way of assessing before you actually jump into the freelance frying pan.

Here are five things to keep in mind before deciding for a freelance career. Check to see if freelancing is right for you.

1. Source of Income

One of the nice things about being an employee is the predictability of the pay check. During good times you are sure to receive what was agreed on your employment contract, plus some bonuses for a job well done. When bad times come, Caesar still gets the goodies due to Caesar.

There is none of that in freelancing. Your customer is your source of income. They are the reason you are there providing services, products and expertise. Your income corresponds to the value that you give that they are ready to exchange for money. There are times when your income goes high. And there will be times when your income will reflect a downward slope.

Being a freelancer means playing financial risk. Can you afford to take risks?

2. Nature of Work

A freelance programmer is really more than just a freelance programmer. He is bigger than that. He is a systems analyst, a beta tester, a debugger, an interface designer, a project manager, and he writes the documentation too.

That’s the technical part of his job.

To survive, a freelancer must sometimes endure doing the non-technical stuff. He has to do the paper works like drafting the proposal, updating the Billing Statements, and recording his expenses. The shy type will realize that he must creatively toot his horn to grab some market share. He may also pay someone to make that louder — TOOOOOOTTTT.

That’s the non-technical part of his job. It’s the necessary evil.

How do you feel about non-technical aspect of your work?

3. Professional Advancement

He was all smiles when we saw each other in the mall. Jason went on training to the US. All expenses paid including US salary rate while on a 6-month training. His company will be upgrading all its legacy systems to Java and Oracle.

When you go freelance, you have to do the professional advancements all by yourself. You buy your own books, attend workshops and seminars, or pay for Certification Exams.

How do you plan for professional advancement?

4. Titles

In the corporate world, you have titles like Manager, Supervisor, and Director. Freelancers don’t have any of that. The closest title you will get includes the following:

  • Consultant
  • Independent Contractor
  • Engineer
  • Architect
  • Mr
  • Ms

Is not having a fancy title a big deal for you?

5. Name At Stake

When the manager of a company signs a contract, the company’s name is at stake. They make sure that they will deliver all things stipulated in the document.

When a freelancer signs a contract, he is putting his reputation on the line. His signature becomes a source of power that could make or break him professionally.

Can you afford to do that?

Web Designer’s FREElance Toolbox for Windows--Part 3

Screen Capture

ScreenRip32

I know, I know. Screen capture software is a dime a dozen. You can find it anywhere and everywhere, which makes it really hard to find the good stuff. So why choose a dead dog like ScreenRip32 when there must be fresher freeware meat available? The primary reason is ease of use. Somewhere out in the virtual business world, we are being bamboozled into believing bigger is better. If infinite features are out of this world, then infinite features plus one must be heavenly. What a mess. I digress. Take ScreenRip32 for a tour, and you will soon find it to be a trusted companion in your design toolbox. If not, I’ll refund your money.

Scripting Language

PHP

What could I possibly say about PHP that you don’t already know? Probably not much, which is a good thing for a designer trying to learn a new scripting language—there is plenty of support and tutorials available for free on the Web. Just like MySQL, PHP is available with most basic hosting plans, which is a major advantage over proprietary languages like CFML, VBScript or Java. If you’re new to programming, and you need to add increased interactivity to your Web sites, I strongly suggest you start with PHP. A little advice: First learn about common security issues and PHP error handling, then move on to database manipulation and XML parsing. You will find that if you can master those four areas, PHP will serve you well.

Video Editing

Windows Movie Maker

I hesitate to recommend any video editing software that is freeware. If you find you need to edit video for the Web on a regular basis, subcontract a professional or purchase an amateur video-editing suite. However, when the occasional need arises to snip a clip, delete some sound or add simple text effects, Windows Movie Maker will suit you well. The primary disadvantage is it only works with Windows XP (as does my choice for runner-up, Avid Free DV, which can be found at Avid.com). If you’re interested in taking a crack at video editing, then this is a good tool to get you started on learning the basics.

VoIP

Skype

Skype, just like Gaim, has gained widespread acceptance in the public eye. It deserves every bit of praise it has received this past year, and I’m amazed that such an impressive and useful tool is free. A friend and freelance Flash designer turned me on to Skype because he was sick of paying out the wazoo for client conference calls. Both you and your client will need Skype installed in order to use voice-over-IP, but it’s worth recommending even if your client isn’t tech-savvy. If they won’t bother, you can opt for SkypeOut, a paid service with rates that will blow away your long distance phone service or even a competitor like Vonage.

Keep Searching

This is not meant to be an all-encompassing list. Trendy freeware pops up all the time, and I suggest you find what works best for you. The recommendations here should at least help you think more creatively about how you do business as a freelancer. You can learn to save some good coin by cashing in on the tireless toil of others.

To continue your search for fabulous freeware, try the following Web sites:

And for assistance with some freeware that fights back, I recommend Experts-Exchange.com.

Web Designer’s FREElance Toolbox for Windows--Part 2

DHTML Menu Generator

OpenCube NavStudio

When I first stumbled across OpenCube’s Web site, I was cautiously curious about their cross-browser compatibility claims. Their menus were undeniably stable, but they still had some bugs to squash. Now I can’t stop looking. Their DHTML menus are used on many major retail Web sites and almost every Fortune 500 company Web site. “Beep. Beep. Back the truck up,” you say. “Using these menus requires a paid license.” You’re correct, but installing the software that generates the menus is FREE. If you have a client that insists on using a DHTML menu, you can stretch out your bill time and build the menu in less than an hour. The $179 single site license will pay for itself and it’s worth the peace of mind!

File Extraction

7Zip

Do you feel pangs of guilt every time you open up WinZip? Do you look away from your monitor, ashamed that the number of days you have used the program unregistered is in the triple digits? Download 7Zip and eliminate that dirty feeling. The drag-and-drop interface supports ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, Z, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB formats, and the compression ratio is impressive. You can password-protect files for added security, preventing free grazers from stealing sensitive client information off your Web site or by intercepting your email. It doesn’t get any easier than this.

FTP

Leech FTP 1.3

I was deeply disappointed when IPSwitch discontinued its popular freeware version of WS_FTP. They’ve relicensed it as WS_FTP Home, and they went legit with more professional product offerings. Through my tears I managed to find Leech FTP 1.3, which after installing I realized I had used in the past. It’s a great tool even though support has been discontinued and development has ceased. To find a copy you need to visit Download.com and search for Leech FTP. If you need an FTP program touting future releases and new features, my choice for runner-up would be Core FTP, which can be found at CoreFTP.com.

HTML Editor

1st Page 2000

Evrsoft’s 1st Page 2000 isn’t for you—it’s for your clients (since you’re probably using Dreamweaver or a similar program to edit your files). This software is a good alternative if they are not willing to spend the money on a professional solution for quick edits. It’s also a helpful tool if you need to teach basic HTML in a class or business setting. You can run the program in four modes, each with increasing amounts of newbie support. The basics are all included, but so are some advanced features like back-end scripting support and an advanced sidebar with file explorer and tag definitions. With a few added tweaks like CSS/XHTML support, this would be some ferocious freeware.

HTTP Server

Apache

Apache’s HTTP Server comes in handy if you want to run PHP on your local machine but don’t have PWS or IIS installed (most of us don’t). It also eliminates the need for a dual boot, unlike an alternative Linux/Windows setup, so installation is a snap. Even better, Apache installs as a Windows service, so starting up and shutting down happens in the background. Unfortunately, Apache doesn’t supply an integrated SMTP server. In order to send mail, you will need to configure PHP to recognize your ISP’s outgoing mail server, or you can download 1st SMTP Server for free. Apache also supports cron jobs, which allow you to run scripts at timed intervals by day, month and year.

Messaging

Gaim

In 2004, numerous technical publications and Web sites listed Gaim as THE No. 1 freeware program. I don’t disagree. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you do. It’s not a substitute for client communication, but if you need to collaborate with other designers or programmers who all use different instant messaging protocols, then it’s incredibly useful. You can sign up for multiple accounts, including Yahoo! IM, AIM, MSN and ICQ, and Gaim will let you log on with a single interface. The features supported are too numerous to list. You’re better off trying it for yourself in order to understand what all the hubbub is about.

PDF Creation

PDF995

In my humble opinion, Adobe Acrobat has become an untamable beast. It has been priced excruciatingly high to account for advanced security and digital rights management features. Those of us who just want to convert several document types into PDF without the overhead have been left out in the cold. It’s about time a company like Software995 stepped forward to steal some of that business. Several products append the company name and URL to the document you’re saving, but not PDF995. Instead, it displays an advertisement each time you print to PDF. You can rest easy—it’s not adware and they don’t steal bandwidth by sending aggregate statistics back to their servers. The ad is a small price to pay for such a prodigious PDF creator.

Office Suite

OpenOffice.org

Run as an open source project by Sun Microsystems, OpenOffice.org includes a word processor, spreadsheet manager, presentation capabilities and a drawing program. Sound familiar? I’ll be honest; you can’t compare it to the Microsoft Office suite—it’s apples and oranges. However, if you need to edit and review documents with a client and you’re encountering version compatibility issues, OpenOffice.org is the way to go. You can read and write Microsoft Office files and v1.1 includes a one-click export to PDF without the need for a third-party add-on. You probably won’t put much of a dent in Bill Gates’ bank account, but at least you can say you tried. Another freeware word processing program I suggest you check out is AbiWord at Abisource.com. It’s easier on the eyes and extremely user-friendly.

Web Designer’s FREElance Toolbox for Windows--Part 1

Freelancing for an extra thick wad of greenbacks to pad your back pocket is every Web designer’s dream. Wrangling up your own clients, managing the entire creative process and collecting your due reward is a great accomplishment, and the process can be more fulfilling than the daily grind of a full-time job. Yet, it can also be a frustrating experience. Your time and resources can be severely limited by several factors, including managing your addiction to eBay Motors and observing your duties as a regional Star Wars fan club representative. But more than likely, your greatest obstacle is money.

Software is Expensive

So your anal-retentive boss enjoys reprimanding designers who use company-licensed software copies for personal profit. Go figure. After purchasing the necessities—Photoshop, Illustrator (stop scoffing you pesky FreeHanders), Flash and Dreamweaver—you are left with nothing but scruples. You eye little Timmy’s piggy bank every time you need that next cool design, programming or desktop tool, but you stop short, and instead Google-fish for freeware. That’s when the real fun begins. The rest of your night is spent removing adware that pillages your hard drive.

The Good Free Goods

Sit back, relax and put down your double caramel macchiato. I’m about to make your life a lot easier and freelancing oh-so-much more fun. The following is a list of unfettered freeware that I have personally reviewed. Time-tested and designer/developer approved, these programs contain no adware and are built on a solid foundation, including a supportive community of users. There is no fine print to read, and you can rest assured each one will save you money and save poor Timmy’s college fund.


Antivirus Software

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition

If you freelance enough, clients will add you to their hit list… I mean address book. It only seems like a hit list when you get bombarded with their virus-laden emails. As a Web designer surfing for inspiration, you’re also more likely to hit a few sites unknowingly housing malicious PHP scripts. I was shocked to find out AVG identifies potential threats better than Norton ever did on my trusty Windows 98 laptop, and it does little to hamper system resources. Updates can be scheduled regularly and your defenses are solid if you combine AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition with a program like Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal.

Audio Editing

Audacity

I’ve used Audacity on several occasions to accomplish simple tasks. If you’re looking for a way to edit loops for Flash, record a voiceover for a QuickTime movie or remove a sound bite altogether, then this is the tool. It’s not overly robust, but there is no reason to spend a fortune on professional audio editing software when the only thing the client wants is a little whiz-bang. You can export to the most popular file formats, including high-quality WAV and MP3. After installing a few compatible freeware decoders (listed on the Audacity Web site), you can import WAV, AIFF, AU, Ogg Vorbis, MP2 and MP3 files.

CD/DVD Burning Software


When you need to deliver a large quantity of digital information to a client, burning a CD or DVD is usually the easiest method. I’m always disappointed by the lack of decent freeware that can get the job done without a major hassle. If you’ve ever tried to use a program like Windows Media Player to accomplish this task, you know what I mean. In my experience these programs are rarely intuitive and they often cause system lockup when copying large files. Even though CDBurnerXP Pro 3 only works with Windows XP, it still deserves a place in our toolbox. I can’t in good conscience recommend anything better.

Content Management System

WordPress

You’re probably curious about why I would list a well-known blogging tool as my choice for a freeware content management system. Necessity is the mother of invention. I’m not going to risk the integrity and security of a client’s Web site in order to save a buck or two. With a little tweaking, WordPress can fulfill most of your client needs, including various permissions for multiple authors, easily update-able dynamic content pages and custom templates. I’ll admit it’s a bit of work upfront, but empowering your client beats getting a phone call at 3 a.m. requesting a tweak to the copy on their privacy policy page.

Database

MySQL

There are several reasons MySQL is the freeware database of choice for designers. Most notably, it’s the only one. Sanity is another good reason. Acquiring a developer’s license for Microsoft’s SQL is expensive, and the learning curve is steep. MySQL is relatively easy to install and configure on your local machine, and almost all basic hosting plans include the latest stable release. I’m about to get geeky for those of you wishing to delve further. My only complaint is that the query browser leaves much to be desired and stored procedures weren’t included until v5.0, which is still in the development phase. However, this list would be incomplete without it.

Become a Freelance Article Writer

As a freelancer there are many opportunities available for working from home or to provide an extra stream of income for your business by filling the needs of a widely diverse market as a paid freelance article writer both on the internet and in offline publications.

What is a Freelancer?

A freelancer is an independent writer who earns his/her living by contracting for work projects, working for no fixed employer, and may work for a number of employers at any given time.

You will be required to negotiate the terms and conditions of work and all work must be completed to the satisfaction of the clients requirements.

Tip: The objectives and requirements of both parties should be understood fully by both parties from the start to save any problems later on - this includes terms of payment.

As a freelancer you need to keep up with the latest developments to compete in the marketplace.

This requires studying and researching the needs of the marketplace along with selling yourself to your potential clients.

Getting Started as a Freelancer

The freelance market can be fiercely competitive at times requiring emphasis on marketing your work effectively and assessing your expertise and skills.

"How to" articles tend to sell well and most successful freelancers maintain constant contact with marketplace trends and requirements seeking those areas where they can fill the needs of potential clients.

You will need a resume and/or a writer's brochure.

When writing your resume it should be written with the view of selling your strengths.

Use short sentences with each paragraph easy to read and clearly outline your qualifications or related experience for the job.

Normally you will only have a few seconds to make an impact on your prospective client - this can make the difference between hiring you or someone else.

To find a niche (your niche) Web monkey has a very good article on finding and defining your niche as a web freelancer.

http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/98/44/index4a.html?tw=jobs

Many writers prefer to stick within the topic subjects they can write confidently on although a good freelancer can research and write on any topic if and when required.

When you are decided on the subject niche you would like to fill, seek out magazine publications - online and offline - on your chosen topic.

If you do not wish to bid for online work contracts at some of the sites listed below until you have gained confidence in your work then you can start your freelance career by seeking out publications in your chosen field that accept articles e.g. if your interest is in fishing go to your local outlet selling magazines and see if they accept article contributions (this can usually be found near the inside of the front cover in most magazines)

Many freelancers start by submitting to local community newspapers/letters as a way of establishing credibility as a published writer.

Send a query letter or email your chosen publication/s with your subject ideas and an outline of your proposed article and how they may contact you if interested.

However, expect to wait some time - sometimes up to three weeks or more if approaching offline publications for a reply as most editors are very busy people.

Finding work on the Internet

The internet has made it easier to build a successful freelance career as a independent professional.

Many sites can be found searching for "freelance writers" on any major search engine.Specify if possible by adding words that fit your needs e.g. paying markets, travel magazines etc. Also visit Yahoo groups, Topica etc and join the many writing job newsletters and job boards.

Here are some places to start.

There are however many sites that bring people together. Some offer a free service, others you will need to register with and/or supply your resume before you can get started.
