Let's jump into this and discuss the topic of what skills
you need to become a remote freelancer.
One of the best things about being able to work
remotely and been able to work as a freelancer is that
it frees you up to be able to do things in life that you
would normally not be able to do if you're working a
regular 9-5 job.
And this is something I've been doing personally over
the past seven or eight years now have lived overseas
since about 2013, and I've moved around a little bit and
worked various jobs.
I've mostly worked entirely by myself online, but there
are several times during that period I've dipped in and
out of the other part time work or a full time job, but
ultimately, I always end up going back to working for
myself, because that is the one area that I can control
my own life.
So, working for yourself allows you the freedom to
travel to different places to work from your own house
without having to travel into the city or into a shared office space.
And it really gives you the opportunity to build work
around your life rather than building your life around
your work or your job.
So there are many, many reasons why you may want
to work remotely.
and especially in this past couple of years with
everything that's been going on in the world, I think
now it's actually an easier time to work remotely than
ever before and it really gives you an opportunity to
structure life the way you want it on your own terms.
So let's jump into some of the skills that you can use to
work remotely for yourself as a freelancer.
So the first thing we're going to talk about here is any
existing skill sets that you may already have, some of
the most popular skill sets that people use when they
work remotely are things like web development,
graphic design, content writing or search engine optimization skills.
So if you have some of these skills, you should be able
to find work quite easily if you brand yourself correctly,
if you have a website and a portfolio.
So there are skills like that that are really easy to just
transition into a remote job.
But if you don't have some of these skills, we're going
to look at some things that you can do to make yourself
employable to still give you an opportunity to live the
life you want and work remotely from anywhere that you desire.
One example of a job you can do remotely without
having any particular skill set is working as a virtual assistant.
So I've hired many different virtual assistants over the
years just to make my life easier to organize things to
do basic editing of content or writing up notes or doing
research on particular topics.
Those kind of tasks that most people can do without
any specific training.
Another type of work that you can do that doesn't really
require any specific skills is translation work.
So if you have more than one language, if you can
speak multiple languages and you can read and write
in multiple languages, there is a very good opportunity
there for doing translation work and you can do this in
many of the different platforms like Up work, Fiverr
really, you just need to be able to translate from one
language to the other.
Of course, if you can use english, that's probably the
most popular language you are translating to or from english.
There are a lot of great opportunities there.
If you have more than one language, many people take
this even further.
They actually do education and languages.
So they'll do like 1 to 1 tuition teaching people spanish,
teaching them french different languages and you can
even do group meetings.
I see there's a lot recently people are doing zoom meetings.
So to get multiple people that want to learn the
language together, they all pay a small fee and
ultimately the teacher can collectively make enough
money to make it worth their while.
So you, sometimes you can do this without needing any certification.
So I see a lot of people doing this now and they don't
have any certification, but if you're just a beginner and
wanted to learn a new language, then I think it's still a
good opportunity, even if that person who's taking the
class is not a professionally trained teacher, you can
still learn a lot just by attending that class.
So if, you know a second language and are
comfortable enough in that language to be able to
teach it and do translation work are quite a number of
opportunities in that area.
The last opportunity I will talk about in this video is
based around fiverr.
Now if you've used Fiverr, you will notice that there are
a lot of different kinds of jobs out there on fiverr.
So these are different gigs that people will do and
many of these are template d and this is something I
see happening a lot now because I've been trying to
hire people for different opportunities
You will see a lot of template d jobs and the real beauty
of this is that they do the work once and they sell these templates
Actually just means that once they get a sale they just
take the files that they have created in the past and
they will send them to the customer.
So this is the kind of work that you can do across
multiple gigs on Fiverr and build a small income from that.
Hopefully some of these job types that we have
discussed in this video has been helpful to you.
