No, not in technology. All the freelance jobs involve both experience and deadlines

How can i do my taxes with freelance.

How can i do my taxes with freelance.?
I have my normal w2's from my normal job which is a substantial amount. But how do I claim freelance jobs that I did if I don't know how much I made (i.e. I don't keep books). Do I just estimate a number? I don't do normal invoicing and I don't know who is claiming my fee on their taxes.

You need to keep track of your income. You must report all of it, whether the other party is claiming it or not. From now on, write down your income on a sheet of paper. Do the same with your expenses. It doesn't need to be fancy as long as it is accurate

when should i email back about a job


when should i email back about a job?
I got an email about a freelance job. They want to set up a meeting this week and I sent a message back saying great, let me know the time and the place. I haven't heard back in 2 days. When should I contact them again without seeming desperate?

give them about a week total (5 days) from your email. Maybe 4 days.. Hiring & interviewing is usually not a company's first priority, so they get to job applicants in between normal, everyday stuff. 4-5 days allows them plenty of time yet is just right if by some weird chance they've lost your information or didn't receive your reply. ie, i had a phone interview scheduled at 11 a.m. one day. She never called but my phone service went out & I called & left msg from my cell. She called the following day & said so sorry--I got slammed & couldn't make the call anyway!? This is a HUGE employer in my city with MANY people in it's HR dept! Can't believe they operate like that, but they do!

If they said that they wanted to meet this week then i would go ahead and either call or email (since the week is about halfway over).. emails sometimes get lost or not read right away, so if you havent heard anything back then that's probably what happened

Go to www.guru.com/index.aspx, www.getafreelancer.com/ or www.freelance.com/ post your qualifications and bid on freelance projects.
2 :
There are tons and tons of sites out there. You should try gonogging.com. What's cool is that other then just using it to find jobs you can put your work up for sale, so you could make templates or generic logos and put them up there

4 :
You could get a free basic, or better, paid membership at a site like Guru.Com, Elance.Com, RentACoder.com etc.; Create a profile; Bid for the projects in appropriate category. You could try to ask your friends, relatives, ex-colleague etc. for some referrals. There are some consulting companies, whose names I don't remember, who can give you projects for a fee. These work better than freelancer sites mentioned above for the initial phase, as the ranking at those sites takes time to build up

What are some freelancing job options

What are some freelancing job options?
To be completely honest, I have no idea what I want to do, but I do know that I want to work as a freelancer or a job where I can create my own schedule and a determine my own income rather than being on a set pay. I'm basically just wondering what jobs are out there that meet this criteria. Thanks.

I recently stumbled upon www.solvecore.com If you post your skills and your availability, you might find someone looking for your skills. It's all about what you want to do. Try it out. It just might be the Solution.

There are many different options for someone trying to break into the writing business. These websites could help. Oboulo.com is a publicly authored, publicly accessible database covering a wide array of topics. Each time you publish a paper, article, presentation etc. on the website, you will receive $15.00 in royalties. Create an account and enter ambassador # 9590ba to earn $15 per published article. After connecting to the site, you will be asked to enter an ambassador number. By entering ambassador# 9590ba you'll receive $15 per document published. This is a good place to start to get your name out there and some published articles under your belt. Next, go to the Associated Content website and sign up as a writer. Submit as many articles as you can. The payment varies, but they are generous. Good luck!
