Browsing the net was my hobby. I come accross the <a href='http://www.scriptlance.com/?ref=ehuq'>ScriptLance</a> site while surfing the net. I register myself just for curiosity. As I have knowledge of some programming in C/C++, visual basic etc, I tried to get some jobs of that types. My effort on first few months was in vain. After few months I tried to get very small jobs of $5-$20 as I realized that without feedbacks, it is very tough to get any big project. I finally get a project of $5. Unfortunately, I found that <a href='http://www.scriptlance.com/?ref=ehuq'>ScriptLance</a> took the whole $5 as project fee. I was wondered, but not dis-hearted. After few days I got another project below $10. For few next months I got 2-3 projects per month. At this point, I decided to be a professional freelancer. I tried to build a team. I sarted serching for data-entry guys. Initially it was very tough to get anyone to work with me. I got two guys. Day-by-day, when I started to get success, I got more people in my team. Now I have a well established team of talented energetic data entry guys. We are now handing 10-20 projects at a time.<br />Initially, I personally worked on projects. Now, I have to spend my whole time to supervise the works of my fellow guys.<br />To my veiw, following are important points for success:<br />1) Hard working, sincerity and regularity of work. I work 7 days a week.<br />2) Communication: keeping timely communication with the clients is vital. I use yahoo, msn, aim & icq to communicate instantly with the clients. I have bought a cell phone to check email when I am outside.<br />3) Honesty is very much important. Tell your expertise and limitations honestly to the clients.<br />4) Take only projects in the fields you have expertise.<br /><br />Finally, <a href='https://www.scriptlance.com/cgi-bin/freelancers/feedback.cgi?p=ehuq&all=1&ref=ehuq'>click here</a> to see my feedbacks on <a href='http://www.scriptlance.com/?ref=ehuq'>ScriptLance</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28914326193029489-1535827341360404949?l=afreelancer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Md.
