Truth/Reality: it is very difficult [but not impossible] to get [or win] the very first freelance project.

Let’s talk about the first freelance site [which is GAF].

The very first thing to do is to get register at GAF. Registration process is very simple. Within few minutes, you will get an active account at GAF.

REMEMBER to enter professional looking information in all fields of the profile; people [most of them] will see your profile, before they decide to give you any work. So make a decent looking profile.

After you create a profile, open GAF home page and scroll down, until you see a heading called “The 50 Newest projects”.

[At freelance sites, jobs and projects mean the same. Getting a job and winning a project means the same].

Here you will see a list of newest opened projects that you can win.

Recommendation: if you are not a programmer or expert in any field then you should do data entry or may be copywriting jobs. For copywriting jobs, you will need to write content in English language. This content needs to have no or very few grammatical mistakes and absolutely no spelling errors.

Look for jobs under the “The 50 Newest projects” section. Open/click on the project which you think you are capable of doing/completing.

After you open the project description page, you should first read the description of the project. Make sure that you can complete the described work.

Important: You have to make sure that you can complete the work. You have to be 100% sure about it. In order to earn money online at freelance sites, you need to earn excellent ratings: and in case you fail to complete a project, then you will get a bad rating. One bad rating can pretty much end the freelance career for a new comer.

Now click on “Place a Bid” icon and then enter the lowest amount of [available] money in the bid.

WHAT, the lowest price? Why?

Well, what do you expect :) ?

You are new at the freelance site. So you have to do work for the lowest price.particular freelance site. You are a new user and you don’t have any ratings: so, go for the lowest price. The more good ratings you have, the more jobs will you get.
