Working part-time. A good job to land in would be a part-time, flexible schedule work. You could find opportunities that only need you to work 20 hours a week. If you have a full time job or if you’re still in the middle of your studies, finding a work-from-home job that is on an output basis will really suit your schedule. In my experience, there are a lot of opportunities like this in services such as data entry, transcription, SEO, web development, and so on. You will only need to email your client a report of your accomplishments every week. You can start on this website: www.bestjobs.ph
Click on the National category on the bottom of the screen. These are all work-from-home opportunities and you can apply for the work-from-home jobs simply by sending them an email with your resume attached. It is very important that you have an attractive resume. You don’t have to have a diploma if you have the skills. If it’s your first time getting a job and you can’t place much in your resume, offer your first client to work for free for 3 days to 2 weeks, depending on how many days you’re willing to give for free but tell your client that if he likes your work then he has to pay for you to continue. During this “free” work period, make sure you do your best, you work a lot of hours, and ensure that your output is top quality. Now, this suggestion may not sound so acceptable to you at this moment, but it will definitely pay off–as long as you work hard and prove to the client that you’re worth it.
Working with several clients. You can have several part-time jobs while working from home. Before you do start with a new client, make sure everything is going smoothly with your first client and you’ve already gotten the hang of your first job before venturing out.
Taking more risks. Go to Craigslist.com and Odesk.com to market for more clients. This is how you get clients from overseas who will be willing to pay you big bucks.
Spend 1 hour a day marketing. Even if you already have a work-from-home job, spend one hour a day sending resumes, looking for more projects, contacting clients. The entire hour might be spent just talking to a single prospective client discussing work that you may be able to take. The rule is, the more time you spend marketing, the more clients you will get. The more clients you get, the more confident you become that you can get more. The more confidence you have, the greater the chances that you will get clients WHO CAN PAY YOU BETTER.
Learn how to sell. Read books on salesmanship, listen to audiobooks for sales such as those by Brian Tracy or Robert Kiyosaki. Knowing how to think like a salesman will be a big factor to your success because when you are applying for clients overseas YOU ARE SELLING YOUR SKILLS. Often, you may get clients that are really hard to convince to have you hired, but more often than not, these are the clients who pay better.
