Inside the Freelancing Industry

Freelancing is like being your own boss. Get clients, do work and get paid for it. Freelancing industry is hot now. If you have talents like graphic designing, copywriting etc. then you can get paid for it . We will look at the freelancing form two perspective freelancer and client.
Client side
There are lot of people who are not good in technical knowledge for example someone who is not good with graphics, you can make graphics for him and get paid for that, everything happens online. But the major reason for freelancing is outsourcing. For example a person in U.S.A may get freelancer to work for him at quite low price compared to U.S.A. Now with the boom in affiliate marketing a lot of people outsource their work like sales copy, scripts etc to save money and time.

Why Getting referrals is tough job ?
Referrals the backbone of "Get paid to" programs.(don't confuse it with affiliate business) Without referrals it will take months to reach your payout. The process looks very easy "join ,get the referral link and promote it" ,by the end of day you can buy an expensive gift for your girlfriend but getting referrals is not that easy. Its not that 123 system.
"Somebody using me"
The problem with promoting referrals links is that many newbie’s think that registering under your referral link will affect their earnings. So I want to crack it down for newbie’s: "when you sign under someone referral link the person under which you are registering may get advantage like some sort of bonus but that doesn't affect your earning. So in short whether you sign up under someone or sign up with no referral link , there will be no effect on your earnings. I think if someone suggested you some GPT program or some “money making opportunity” it is wise and a way of saying thanks to sign up under his/her affiliate link.
Selfish world
Now the problem in getting referrals is not only these newbie’s but also there are people who just don't want to give you anything even for free and have ego problem "signing under someone nah that's not the sign of Alpha male or Supermodel”(that’s what they usually think). There is nothing you can do to avoid it . Somewhat similar situation is faced in affiliate marketing (affiliate tier system). The only thing you can do is start praying that your referral links won't be clicked by these type of people. So there is no need to scream “I am telling these people ways to make money and only thing I ask them to do is sign under me but why why whyyyyyy this is happening , I hate this world”. Actually you can scream because nobody going to listen.

Which blogging service is better ?
There are two names pops in anyone mind when somebody says “Blogging”.
Blogger and Wordpress
Actually it’s quite wrong to say one is better than other. Both have their fan base, you will hear both screams "blogger sucks" ,"wordpress sucks" in blogosphere. But the truth is both are excellent tools for blogging . Now without any further ado I will point the main advantages of these blogging tools:
Blogger :
Blogger is more targeted towards newbie’s with very little exposure of blogging or internet. You just sign up, add couple of posts, add gadgets and you are done. Its interference is quite simple. There is no headache of installing gadgets , scripts ,templates etc. Everything is done with one click.
Wordpress :
Wordpress is mainly targeted towards people with some or complete understanding of blogging. You have to install scripts to your server and then you can start blogging. You have to install scripts, templates etc. It can be difficult for a person who just started blogging or is going for his/her first post. But nowadays most of the hosting services has "Fantastico" which makes installation of wordpress a “kid task” . Even then you are new to the world of blogging I would recommend you to go for Blogger.
