Hi guys,
I'm a new freelancer.
I have the ability to work hard.
But I am unable to get jobs
So please give me some tips or ideas to grab the jobs.

When I started on the freelancing world, it took weeks before I was able to get a job. You need to be patient in this industry. And make sure you focus on what you do best.

Hello Balajivijay75,

My suggestion would be to start a new thread in:

Freelancers Pool

Promote yourself with all your talents in webmastery. Think of a car salesman selling you a new car, he's going to tell you all about this new car, all it's features. This is what you are doing, selling yourself and only yourself.

You might mention your schooling in webmastery, your accomplishments, whatever applies to webmastery, following with your id profile link so potential clients can view your profile.

Best Wishes,
Giselle

Balajivijay75 first you have to select skills(check your profile), after that you can bid on projects.

When you do get your first gig make sure they are 100% satisfied! That is what I'm doing. Keeping a good reputation in regards to reviews, completion, on time, re-hire information, and skill specific ranks are crucial! Be Patient! Take skills tests. It is not going as fast as I would like it to either but it is working. Do a good job and turn out a good product, make sure they are satisfied, build reputation, and "Ask them to send anyone they know that would need your services" Just like another freelancer posted. Think car salesman, catchy phrases, slogans, branding, use what you got and remember you ARE the CAR!

Wish you luck! Hang in there!

That's right, you are the car, and you have to sell yourself on your talents and skills, like a resume when applying for a position in the workplace.

The Freelancers Pool is another area where you can start a new thread, like the Forum mentions, show off your profile here for the potential client.
