This
is an outcome of this post How come entry into freelancing can be so
tough even though there is a huge market for it and you have the skills?
quora.com post on freelance marketing yourself and my comment
I
have copy-paste the total post and my comments at the bottom of the post for
your reference. Here are putting more
lights on:
A very valuable 3 points have caught my attention.
He actually sheds more light on what he mentioned in
points-2
Yes, that's his second point I focused a lot on it. I
don't disagree only we freelancers are under-qualified but mentioning or
placing have all the skills, that floods and businessman worries of sachems… truly
this a hurdle
Now it seems to me that one side has done it and the
businessmen who recruit us are worried about floods.
We people or freelancers are also scared worried about
scams of businessmen, employers, recruiters HR! I was talking about the problem from both
sides of the Isles… vice versa.
Here we see many recruiters undermine that we are from an underdeveloped world, English is our second language. We are third-world people.
We are freelancers though we are under-qualified and many
business recruiters show us various temptations and in fact, they try to hire us
at low prices, as we are from underprivileged countries and our language is not English.
Floods internship with different promises to exploit our labor and after the
completion of the internship, they provide a comment “This time you are not fit for
the company”.
This way that way they sold our internship works/ jobs to
other buyers on their platforms. Who are their subscribed members?
So now that's a problem on both our sides. One of the
most frustrating ways for businesses and employers to show us the temptation to
give us jobs is through the internet. We
are also being worry about their scams too.
Professor Maslow’s HR theory of wants is predominant and
humanitarian ground one. Working
environment and salary issues always subside due we are in a disadvantageous position.
There is no hard and fast rule for online freelancer’s recruitments. This is a FREE
world and FREE marketplace, and Everybody taking advantage out of it.
To transform and sustain in the market is the FOCUS of all.
All that glitters is not
gold…but bad money drives good money out of the market…
Copies paste the total
post and my comments as under:
“Because, like any business, you need to market your skills. And
many freelancers know nothing about how to do marketing.
Secondly, since there are few certifications to indicate your
quality, the market has been flooded with unqualified people claiming all types
of skills. Business owners are wary of being scammed.
People do business with those they know, like, and trust. That’s
a great place to start. Use your freelance skills to build up those three
areas.
Much of freelancing is like riding a bicycle. Once you learn,
it’s all about practice and refinement. Even the best constantly study their
craft.
The more marketing you know, the more people will want your
services.
Welcome
to freelancing!!”
My
comments:
You are right and trace out the focal
point out of problem-solving know-how and market realization.
This is a border-free globalize one
market. Freelancing is a huge market with a damn huge challenge with global top
talents. Come entry into the HEAVEN is too tough even YOU have skills!
The first hurdle- you pinpointed the
MARKETING. I am thriving and many of us know nothing how to brand ourselves to
sell out in the market. This is the most predominant LEGACY for every
freelance!
The second one- Guilty GOLD, “the market
has been flooded with unqualified people claiming all types of skills.”, and
“Business owners are wary of being scammed.”, creates another hurdle!
The Third- Building trust is the most
critical and sneak peek that dozed and nubs me. From 2008 to date I am thriving
to do the same. Ask Google “ Md. Leakat Ali” “Md. Leakat Ali Leku” “Lekubd”
Lekuctg”. Very simple to know about me and my works through presence. I am
confused off… when recruiters ask me so many questions other than using AI?
Even after submitting all requisites, FAQs answered the honorable HR asked
“where is your 1) answer….” OMG…under the pillow? Sorry! How could we come up
with it?
They have all the rights and privileges
of doing and undo anything! In most cases, the working environment and
Humanitarian issue of wants subside- offering very low or internship labor…
spam and scams!?
Please put more light on this issue.
This is my earnest appeal and request you to make it vice versa.
“The more marketing you know, the more
people will want your services.” the only way out…to get rid of...
You are MOST welcome, Thanks for your
time and advice.
Again- please put more light on…
Regards
Conclusion:
·
The freelance market has
been flooded with unqualified people claiming all types of skills. And
employers exploiting with providing a fake promise of appointment, and internship
scams… problems from both sides of the isles to overcome to have a win-win situation for all.
·
To transform and
sustain in the market is the FOCUS of all. But online is too open…no privacy of
what you are doing, going, writing, interacting, commenting, reviews, sharing,
posting all are contents and links… on SEARCH ENGINE… spider and AI keep
tracking on…
All that glitters is
not gold…
but bad money drives good money out of the market!?
